July

What is so marvelous about living today is that it is possible to extend, like a flower, spreading petals in all directions.

This is for you mom. You would have been 85 years old this month. You are God's gardener in heaven and we miss you so.

When women golf...

When over a hundred women gather and golf, well they don't just golf. They dance the night away! It was an awesome fun filled week in Davao for women golfers from all over the country that participated in the 2015 Luzvimin golf invitational held at Palos Verdes golf & country club.

June

And just like that it's June.  Half the year has gone by.  Where did it go so fast?
A friend reminded me the other day that "Today is the oldest you've ever been and the youngest you'll ever be."  If that's the case, then I want to make sure that I make each day count and live each day with gratitude....


"What gives me the most hope every day is God's grace; knowing that his grace is going to give me the strength for whatever I face, knowing that nothing is a surprise to God."

Within you there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat any time.
Herman Hesse

Yesterday, just as the sun went down, the sky turned into a lovely orange. Soft rather than fiery. The winds calmed down enough for one last flight of the day. I am always fascinated by this gradual changing of colors in the sky and how the surrounding mountains seem to glow.
