2010 wasn't the ideal year for me. I took some hard hitters that flurried without giving me any chance to fight back.

 I took some big falls and yes I fell hard.

I understand that it is not on the frequency and severity of the fall but the question remains wether to keep on staying down or to stand up. 

For the record, I chose to stand up, blow after blow.

Even if it was a rough ride, I'm still blessed, for these trials made me understood what friendship, family and faith really is.

I am very thankful to everyone. Words could not justify how thankful I am for the people around me have been a great part of my healing.

I appreciate the time spent, effort to listen and understanding.

These SIMPLE THINGS, deep inside made me smile.
