2012 goals

for the past seven years since we got married, gelio and i have been doing a list of our accomplishments and struggles of the previous year. after reading to each other our list, we discuss it and then formulate our goals for the coming year. you may call it our new year's resolution. we would like to call it our goals. pretty much the same but we would want for it to really happen and not just remain a list :)  it's also our action to be better/to improve/change/grow/correct the wrong from the past year/s.

the other day, something's bothering me and so i texted my friend and shared my thought: "when is enough, enough?". some say, never. others say, they don't know. as for me, i think it is enough when you want it to. this is with regards to my husband working so hard that he ends up missing on his meals and going home late. dont get me wrong. i am so proud of him because he is so focused on whatever he sets his mind to. and he is good! he is also driven. and most importantly, he have goals. he works hard because he wants to climb the corporate ladder and so we, his family, will benefit from it. he have all my support. but then, we also need him at home. i need him, too. true, that he spend his weekends with us. does that mean that weekdays are truly alotted for work alone? what about his health? if he does accomplish his goals and dreams, then what? will it lessen his workload so he'll have more time with us? if he reaches the top, we might be able to afford everything we have wanted and/or needed. but will that be enough? i am happy with the blessings that comes to us. i am proud of him. i am just worried about his health and the amount fo time spent for us and him alone. i understand that he also needs to work to be able to provide as man of the house. ey, there are bills to pay! i just hope that one day, all the sacrifices made by each one will be so worth it. i know that day will come. i pray that we wont be too greedy to want for more than what we can handle.
