A child imagines some of the feelings his dad has gone through in his long life. He imagines the struggles and frustrations his dad has gone through. He is happy that now that his father is retired, he can sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labors.
- my papa working as volunteer builder for the Gawad Kalinga. he consider this as his rest period.
Papa Is retiring from his work today…
Retirement is something that people look forward to all of their lives. It is a lucky few however, that truly get to enjoy their golden years. Factors like health concerns, death of a spouse, and monetary issues are all things that can prevent people from taking full advantage of their retirement years. My motto is enjoy life while you can because you never know what is going to happen later. Those that are lucky enough to really enjoy their “golden years” are truly blessed.

I wrote your name in the sky,
but the wind blew it away.
I wrote your name in the sand,
but the waves washed it away.
I wrote your name in my heart,
and forever it will stay.

XPLORE N7W“If we want to save anything, we first need to truly appreciate it”
The explorer returned to his people, who were eager to know about the amazon. But how could he ever put into words the feelings that flooded his heart when he saw exotic flowers and heard the night-sounds of the forest; when he sensed the danger of wild beastsor paddled his canoe over treacherous rapids?
He said, “Go and find out for yourselves.” To guide them he drew a map of the river.They pounced upon the map. They framed it in their townhall.They made copies of it for themselves.And all who had a copy considered themselves experts on the river,for did they not know its every turn and bend, how broad it was and how deep, where the rapids were and where the falls?
It is said that Buddha obdurately refused to drawn into talking about God.
He was probably familiar with the dangers of drawing maps for armchair explorers.
