INSPIRING each one of us is the gift of joy that November brings. It is accepting the treasure house of Mother Nature and overflowing with the colors of blessedness. Thereafter, you and I find peace, comfort and solace.

Timeless in its imagery, classical in its whirling red, blue and yellow spectacle; captivating our senses with its stunning shapes and patterns, November is an infinite source of our enchantment with life.

My birthday falls on November 14 and this is my favorite month. My heart delights on the love, learning and lessons I have reaped from the garden of life.

Riding with the soaring upward movements of the white clouds, I feel so fully alive. In contrast, feeling the effects of the deepest and darkest caves of illness like diabetes makes me appreciate my short time on earth.

If today I am untimely taken back to my Creator, will shout to the whole world this message from my heart...

Dacal a salamat... I gave you and will always give you the magic of words... Ah the joys of being a writer!

If the kind Lord permits, I will ask to be assigned in the library of the great eternity.

Furthermore, I now realize the great love my family, friends, and familiar community. Experiencing their love and concern on the planet earth allows me to dance to the rhythm of delightful elation and bliss. What a joyride it is to live fully everyday.

Just like this Saturday morning before writing this piece, I had a sumptuous breakfast at Chowking Angeles City Sto. Rosario branch. Congratulations to all of their wonderful staff as they celebrate their 11th year anniversary. What a blessed morning!

"We are so happy to give our best service to our customers and we will explode in the coming days with our Christmas food galore."

Asserted their ever smiling store manager Rosario "Gay" Fernando. She is truly an asset to her company.

Behind her stood their charming assistant store manager Janet Salvador who happily shared this thought," What a grand day as we spread the majestic pleasure of our array of Chowking food products to our Kabalens in Angeles City."

Yes! A toast to great persons like Gay and Janet who express their immense love of work, industry, and benevolence.

Finale

Today, let us live fully.

Follow your bliss. Commit to the work regimen that gives you meaning. What a delight, when we can combine our talents with the needs of our Kabalens, sister/brother Filipinos and to the great four corners of the globe.

Embrace your beloved partner, mate and/or spouse.

She or he might just be longing for your loving deeds and words. Hug your daughter/son so that she/he will mature into a confident adult who will serve her/his community in this 21st century.

Create your own, unique, and unforgettable November thrill!
