This morning, I went to Land Bank to get the refund I had when I gave birth to my son. It took Phil-health more than 5 months to give me that refund.

I saw this man who helped me park my car in front of the Land Bank. His banner also caught my attention, since he has the same family name as my kids. I didn’t ask more of him but I asked him if I could take his picture, just for a souvenir. He agreed, so I did.

This simple picture will remind me how lucky I am to have all the blessings I need in life. This too will remind those who are always complaining about work, to be able to see how lucky they are; To be in an air conditioned office and comfortable. This Ramon Teodosio, could take the heat of the sun and just ask for a small amount that someone could give him since he is a volunteer. Let us be thankful for what we have, and not ask for something we cannot. Let’s be followers of Ramon who works hard just to earn, even if it is not much.

“The happiest people don’t have everything they want. They make the most of what they already have. Misery starts when a person looks at the 10% missing and overlooks the 90% blessing. We all have our own share of blessings. Some get them fast. Some wait for a long time. What’s important is, it comes at a time we most need it. God knows best and He will give the best in his own time.” - A quote given to me by Dr. April Dream Rico-Teodosio [Grandmother of my kids - I have no idea if she is related with Ramon.]
