The Gratitude Experiment

Gratitude is one habit I want to develop. Jeff Goins said that gratitude is a discipline. When we practice gratitude each day like a muscle it grows stronger.

To help me build this habit, I came up with keeping a gratitude jar. I would write three things I'm grateful for each day and keep it in the jar. I'm committing this for 30 days starting today and if I like the outcome, I might keep it for the rest of the year.

Have you tried this habit?

Decorating Ideas To Honor Mary This May

May is the month of Mary and as Catholics we are encouraged to honor her throughout this month. I know its half way of May but its never too late right? One simple way to honor her aside from praying the rosary is to decorate the area where the beautiful statue or picture of Mother Mary is displayed. Here's a few ideas to help you (and me).

1. The Wall Flower

Getting To Know Mother Mary

our mini altar

May is my birth month and also happens to be the month of Mary. A month long devotion to our Mother Mary. We are encouraged to honor Mary with pictures,reflections and praying the rosary. Honestly, I do not know that it is Mary's month if not reading it here . I was raised as a Catholic and even went to a Catholic school during my elementary and high school. I learned how to pray the rosary but never pray often, that October is the month of rosary and special days of Mary such as birthday and feast days. But I never have a personal relationship with her. It is only now that I am taking time to pray every night and reading about her. These are just of the few simple ways to get to know Mother Mary. To know more of how I can be closer to Mary I am reading this post.

In honor of Mother Mary I am giving away 10 Rosary. If you want to have one, please email me at daintywife@gmail.com  with your name and mailing address . This is only for those residing in the Philippines because it is quite expensive to ship to other countries.

The Restaurant.

Over looking view of the Alcoy beach.

Rooms for rent.

Last Saturday, I was invited by my girlfriends  to whale watching in the southern part of Cebu as our summer get-together but we ended up having lunch instead at Bodo's Bamboo Bar & Resort in Alcoy. The restaurant has a native design, very cozy.The food was quite good. My only complaint was the flies going around our table maybe because of the coconut juice we ordered but the view was really beautiful such a blessing to see God's gift of nature.

We had such a lovely time!

What I Wish I Was Wearing Today

The heat is terrible and if I could be anywhere else today I'd choose to be in a beach, reading a book in a hammock, enjoying the cool breeze and the sound of the sea. Here's what I would be wearing.
