But this is a misleading picture because Mr. Golden Sun actually went on leave that day. And in his place was Mrs Relentless Rain.
Looking at the first picture, you wouldn't have thought that the other side looked like this, would you?
The past few days, the weather was dreary. That's due to tropical storm Lando that swept the Visayas area, but which also affected some parts of Mindanao. There are reported damages and casualties but I am grateful that it's down at minimum. And I hope there’d be no more addition to that, especially since another typhoon is on its way round here.
But I thank God for bringing all sorts of weather- good and bad. Because we all need a little of everything --like in our lives, sometimes, we need storms to keep us on the right track.
Anyway, despite the rain, Matt had a good time on his party. And I'm glad because that's what really matters to me. I'm also thankful that our friends and relatives were able to bring their kids and join Matt on his party. I’m also glad that despite the bad weather, my husband arrived home safe and that he was able to attend Matt's party. And more importantly, I am thankful of my son's life. He is a precious gift God blessed us with and everyday, I am learning to be a better person because of him.

I love your thankful list.
The pictures from Matt's bday look so nice.
I am sorry that you had such bad weather for your son's birthday party, but it sounds like you made the best out of it...
In a way it is neat that you had an extra day with your husband. I praise every day I have my hubby...there are just enough of them *smile*...
Thank you so much for sharing your grateful heart...Blessings to you and yours.
i learned from my sister na grabe daw ulan didto sa Leyte ... hoping and praying that the rain on your side isn't as terrible.
take care, Zen!
Great list! Looking at everything for its blessing is a great idea.

It looks like the birthday party was memorable even without lovely weather. Doesn't sound like you let "rain" get you down though!
Hi Zen, great list on Thankful Thurs. Kalami anang cake oi, mingaw na ko ana. Looking at that pool, I'm sure nag enjoy pod ligo si Matt diha.
About the bad weather, I heard it in the news too.
Btw, I have an award for you, just get it here.
What a great attitude you have! I wish I could behave more like this when I face problem situations.
Love the Barney cake!
