Short But A Lot!

Hi folks!

I am running late here...the subdivision where we live had power outage the entire day, that's evening for most of you. Even if I have 2 laptops with sufficient charge, my wireless internet needs power. Pfft. Power came back around 6pm and I was already in oblivion.

Anyway, I'm catching up...and will visit WFW and Thankful Thursday participants later. As I promise myself my thankful list this week, here goes my short list...short but A LOT!

• One of my favorite blog Violence Unsilenced which has inspired many has been nominated as The Most Inspiring Blog. Violence Unsilenced was created with the sole intention of shedding light on the epidemics of domestic violence and sexual assault by giving their survivors a voice. This blog echoes different stories from different people...their voices have inspired many and hopefully will continue to be an inspiration! I invite YOU ALL to vote for this inspirational site this will mean so much for me and to so many people!
  



• I got A NEW JOB! In my post yesterday, God Is Good I mentioned that I'm going later for a telconference for my job offer...and I did. Oh boy was it nice! As I was trying to make a list on all the pros and cons of moving to a new job after being with my current employer for 3 years the only thing that seems to go against moving to a new one was the tenure I have with the current one. You see here in the Philippines, most employees undergo 6 months probationary period afterwhich the employee's performance is evaluated and only then he/she is hired as a regular employee. A regular employee gets to enjoy more benefits and more than anything security of tenue. I was willing to risk that. BUT guess what?! They hired me as a regular employee outrigh. No more probationary period for me...WOOT! God is indeed good...and He is good all the time!

• Last week I launched to Tuesday memes, Tech Tuesday and Tuesday's Tales! I am so happy with my readers receive them...and I am so thankful for the people who participated. I really appreciate you sharing your fun memories with me and with the other participants!

Those are the major things I have for this week...I'm sure as soon as I hit published button I will remember other things...but they may not be on this list...I may miss my Thankful Thursday, one thing is sure I am thankful for everything everyday!

Please check Thankful Thursday
and together let us celebrate
all the things we should
be grateful for!
