i’ve come to take the expression of good luck as a more casual way of expression blessing. the month of March always falls under the season of Lent. it is indeed a month of blessing.
there has been drama in the choir as usual, but the recent turn of events seem less theatrical but has a larger, more serious impact. today, i found myself singing “closing time” a couple of times. still, blessings. despite negativity, it is not difficult to see events as blessings for our growth, for us to move forward better.
most weeknights have been spent in joint choir practices. i find myself a lot more comfortable with the ministry after 3 years. being able to help, be it in managing the sheet music, to lending the keyboard, to singing during the 6:30am Mass (doing a solo entance song once), it feels good. i am able to fill, even just a bit, what i lack in the practice of my faith. with it, new friends, easier conversations, and a general feel of belonging.
one highlight of the year is our anniversary. for our third year, i think it’s the sweetest and simplest so far—us doing mhae’s accounting practice set. no need for dates and fancy dinners. pizza hut take out, silog, gulaman, and the usual hatid, plus quite a bit of homework make one uniquely sweet and fulfilling 3rd year anniversary.
work is well and relaxing. pressured but still chilling because of moving deadlines. although changes in schemes and schedules are usually bad news, this gives me more time to refine what i’m supposed to do for my projects.
many things may be easily seen as bad luck but also easily taken as blessings. a matter of perspective i seem to be mastering. not bad at all.
