Counting My Blessings

Homesickness is slowly creeping into my system.

So instead of dwelling on the lonely feeling, I thought of coming up with a list of things to be thankful for while I'm here in Illinois.

Here it is...

1. We have free housing and utilities & transportation expenses are bein paid for by my husband's company.
2. Our apartment is in a very peaceful community and I am able to walk around town with my baby in tow.
3. We live in a very nice apartment where there's housekeeping every other week so I don't need to clean the toilet.
4. We have a gym in our building so I have the option to work out for free.
5. We have free cable and internet so I can still communicate with my loved ones.
6. We have a spacious kitchen where I am able to cook or bake whenever I want.
7. Not one of us have been seriously ill and we have not gotten into an accident since we got here. Praise God!
8. We are able to eat well here. In fact, I gained weight already. Hehe!
9. The floor is carpeted so my baby had an easy time learning how to walk.
10. Unlike in the Philippines, my husband gets to come home early since he gets off work at 5pm; sometimes earlier. He can even come home for lunch! :)
