A Prayer

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. Courage to change the things I can. And wisdom to know the difference.

A Dinner Treat



My very good friend Sweet Grace Tami prepared a 4 course dinner for me the last time we visited her house. I was deeply touched by the gesture so here I am now showing my deepest appreciation by posting a blog as my way of saying thank you. Although we missed one friend Sheila, who had chicken pox at the time, we still enjoyed the time together. Hopefully, on our next meet up, our friend Sheila can join us.

What I did on Valentines Day.



First stop, after dropping Francis off to school, was a visit to Kilmainham Gaol with my friend Maricel Vacas. I believe she's making it her mission to visit as many tourist places as she can before her family moves to Spain for good. Kilmainham Gaol is one of the largest unoccupied gaols in Europe.

I've been in this place before with my sister JM just days after I gave birth to my eldest son. This time, I was with my second son Cian, who at the age of 2, is definitely not good idea to bring to a museum. Anyways, we decided to go ahead and join the tour and planned to excuse ourselves from the tour if and when Cian decides to tour the museum on his own or become the tour guide himself which true to form is what Cian did.


Eventually decided to excuse ourself from the tour and wait for my friend outside the museum.



When my friend came out, we decided to visit the gardens of a nearby tourist place. The Royal Hospital Kilmainham. We only had time to visit the gardens and planned to visit the museum some other time. And here's a few pics to share.










I'm Back!

It's been nearly 2 years now since I last visited the world of blogging. Not that I am mad into expressing my thoughts and emotions into anything or anybody anyway. And if I do, it would only be to those chosen few.

The past 2 years had been a very eventful year for me. Testing my inner strength and courage. Believing that I can get through all this trials and tribulations. And here's me now hoping to pick up the pieces and start all over again. Blogging is one among other things that I find myself going back into that I hope will help me find the real me.

For sure, my dear sisters will be glad if not ecstatic to read new post from me.
