Familia

I have been unhappy for quite a while now. I was doing okay working home based; having my own schedule, being able to save more money, getting along with my family, eating foods that aren’t from an eatery. You know the convenience of staying/ working at home. Everything was okay until I realized that my family isn’t as harmonious, cool and united as before. I have always thought that I have a great family; Not impeccable but great compare to other families. But not anymore I guess. I’m starting to lose that idea and I hate it. I remember when I was a kid, we used to go biking around the neighborhood, go jogging near Caliraya Lake and every holiday especially Christmas were well celebrated. I believe our neighbors envied us. We were like a model family. We were a picture of love, peace and happiness. Today, it's a picture of opinionated, independent, sometimes annoying and sometimes endearing grownups. Well, it’s not like I have a broken family now, but it’s not the same as it was. Anyways, every family has a flaw. Someone said, “Families are like fudge - mostly sweet with a few nuts”. ~ And so me, I won’t let this imperfection rob me of my joy. This is my home. This is what God gave me and I thank Him.
