<div style="text-align: justify;">In this blog, the word &#8220;gratitude&#8221; has been listed as one of its labels. Why? Well, I guess this blog is really something that talks more about it. This blog (or the URL) was given to me by a friend and I guess its where all things have started. I felt very thankful for it. Not everyday in our life something extraordinary is given to you.</p>
<p>After being thankful (<a href="http://pmloveblog.blogspot.com/2008/03/more-reasons-to-be-grateful.html">Pinay Mommy&#8217;s Love Blog</a>), life has gone so good for me lately. Many things were given that sometimes you could not imagine go your way. As I worked on my <a href="http://www.pinaymommyonline.com/">other blog</a>&#8216;s make-over, I never thought that one of the creators of the digital elements I used would proudly link back to my blog as an example of her work being used to action.</p>
<p>Of course, there are couple of things that made me felt a little bit bitter along the way but still it made me felt grateful in the end. As they say, there is always a rainbow after the rain! My husband and I, after being separated for 2 years but now together again for almost 2 years (and plans to have more years to come together), always have misunderstandings and sensational fights (hahaha&#8230;.showbiz!). We are still in the process of regaining after everything that happened to us. But hey, we still do have fights but recently, I realized that our marriage is actually progressing. He still have immaturity in some aspects but he has shown me that he trying to make things right. Which for me, I am already grateful of. The will to change and the word &#8220;try&#8221; are enough for me to hope for a beautiful and blissful marriage with that of course is the help from the Almighty!! Our marriage might have not been patched-up if it weren&#8217;t for God&#8217;s Divine Intervention. That made me grateful enough!!</p>
<p>Everyday as I wake-up and see my family together, its a great reminder for me to be grateful to God who has brought every pieces of my shattered life together. Being united as a family is enough for me to be grateful each day.</p>
<p>I am also grateful for <a href="http://mondaymorningpower.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Monday Morning Power</a> for initiating the <a href="http://areyougrateful.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">new project on gratefulness</a>. Cause you see, sometimes we need great people to help us remind of the things we need to be grateful of before its too late.</p>
<p>Come! Join us in our worldwide campaign of gratefulness. Everyday&#8230;there is always something to be grateful about&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">I am really thankful that God gave us friends. They are those people that shows His love in many ways. Today, I want to thank God for giving me one. Guess what, she is an online friend. We haven&#8217;t seen each other personally. I just want to thank dear <a href="http://www.jdmabelleverlasting.com/" target="_blank">Mabelle</a> for being a real friend and for being so generous to me.</p>
<p>Eventhough we are far apart, we experience true friendship. We undergo situations that are being experienced by offline friends and that made me happy. She is not only a chatmate but a real friend who listens when you have a problems. She is also generous person in many ways. For that, I thank God for leading me to her.</p>
<p>Belle, even oceans are not big enough to separate real friends, you are one of them and I thank God that we have meet!</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">Actually, this blog is not mine. It belonged to one of my online friends that I haven&#8217;t personally met. She gave it to me as a gift. It&#8217;s not my birthday but just a simple gift. She gave this to her friend before that she wanted to help financially but her friend didn&#8217;t believed that earning online was possible. So, this blog along with it&#8217;s PR3 was wasted for a long long time.</p>
<p>So, just this afternoon, as we chatted about life both online and offline, she decided to gave this blog to me instead. Ever wanting a blog with a PR, I did not hesitated!! I accepted this blog whole heartedly.</p>
<p>I guess you might be wondering, why on earth did she gave away a PR3 blog?? Well, the answer is easy. She is not crazy! She just possesses a generous heart &#8211; plain and simple. It did shocked me anyway. She could have turned this blog to a money-making machine but she didn&#8217;t. She gave it to me out of a good heart!! Who is she, your asking?? He he he&#8230;I can&#8217;t tell you as of this time. I need to ask her first if she would want to be disclosed. So, as grateful as I am, I did my best to take good care of this blog. Made it beautiful and claimed it as my own now.</p>
<p>Officially, I am the proud owner of <a href="http://lourdesmia.blogspot.com/2008/04/why-lourdes-mia.html">Lourdes&#8217; Mia</a> (this is not the blog&#8217;s name before, I made the name up to suit it&#8217;s URL &#8211; by the way, my mom&#8217;s name is really Lourdes and I am her Maria or Mia for short).</p>
<p>To my friend, you just don&#8217;t know how thankful I am for this gift. I can&#8217;t repay the kindness you have shown me but only by prayers. Thank you very much and God bless your generous heart.</div>
