day 7 | 100 happy days

the hubby & i showed up to easter service at church a bit earlier than usual since ive been volunteering the last 2 weeks. it really has been so wonderful to see new faces at church & faces whom i haven't seen in awhile. today, on easter christ rose from the dead! to truly feel the depth of gods love for us brings me to tears. i get so emotional at times thinking about it. for god so loved the world, that he sent his one & only son to die for us. 

after easter sunday service we had brunch with everyone at church then ran a few errands. bbq-ed dinner & dined al fresco. 

god, thank you for you for loving us. help me to desire to know you better, so that i may keep you at the forefront of all that i do. thank you for the food on our table. 

day 6 | 100 happy days

ive been thinking about adding more succulents to my collection & by collection i mean two. succulents require far less maintenance than most flowers/plants that i know, so it's no wonder why the two that i have are still alive. succulents suite me quite well.

day 3 | 100 happy days

remember those gorgeous flowers i saw on my walk with iggy? as it turns out they awaken & sleep! on my drive home from bible study i noticed they were shut. to be sure i was seeing correctly i dragged the hubby for a late night walk & lo & behold! they do sleep at night time! i thought that was pretty cool!

i walked iggy again today & love how they remind me to always lean into the light! you blossom that way! :) 

day 5 | 100 happy days

walking towards our car, from a wonderful lunch with my girlfriend i saw these blooming peonies & what a wonderful sight it was! peonies are such cheerful flowers.

day 4 | 100 happy days

while grabbing tea i came across this little free library. i read about it months ago & had always hoped to run into one. i love the concept of a community library where you're free to take one and/or leave a book. i took a small book "what to expect from reading the bible." ill make a quick stop tomorrow to donate some books. 

day 2 | 100 happy days

these cheerfully colored flowers made today's walk with iggy even better. spring is in the air! though my least favorite season.. i love that flowers come alive!

day 1 | 100 happy days

im taking part in the 100 happy days challenge & thought id document it on my blog.

today i was able to cook dinner for the hubby & i. while this isn't anything out of the ordinary i hadn't expected to be home until midnight from work. i unexpectedly got canceled which allowed me do more spring cleaning & cook dinner. filipino bistek was on the menu for tonight. happiness is in filipino comfort food.

on failure

i don't think ive reached that point where i can fully claim it. 

or say it with conviction. 

maybe because i have yet to see the light at the end of the tunnel on this particular road in my life. 

sad. indifferent. constant wondering. hopeful. anxious. the constant comparing & wondering why & when.

they say the road to success is riddled with bumps & failures. 

im learning to own my failures. embrace them even. 

it's only when i own up to my failures that i release this power of shame it's been holding over me.  

one step at a time.
