And... as much as things change the more they stay the same. As we look forward and deal with a lot of things that has not changed through the years, we continue to hope that maybe this year is a better year than last year.
Personally, I have so many things to be thankful for and look forward to this year. I am pregnant again. And again, its a boy. We have been hoping for a girl but I think a boy is a blessing just the same. The practical in me is thankful that at least I don't have to buy a new set of everything for the newcomer if it would be a girl. Since he's a boy, he can use Nico's things, hand me downs. I am very excited to see him, Mon even has a name for him already. This time baby boy will share his first name. He's arriving in April.
I am also looking forward to a better year in my career. Why not? I have already set my priorities and
UNEP has been reaping many awards left and right with the grace of God. I also have a new job as Dean of the UNEP College of Law. We will work on our blessings and ensure that we add to our blessings.
The greatest blessing though is that after last year, our family has gotten closer. The adversities we experience together made us all better persons. And, I am not talking only of my immediate family, but also the entire clan. Somehow,we learned how to deal with each other and find our place in the sun but still with the same love and affection for each other and even better understanding of each other.
2011 is going to be a great year, I just know it in my heart. Here's to a great new year to everyone!
