There are lots for me, but here are my top 3. Firstly, we survived the covid virus that hit our household in February. Secondly, our son graduated from JHS, and we are blessed to get a government subsidy voucher for the entirety of his SHS. Lastly, after I got retrenched in Q3 of this year, I immediately found a good company with one of the best working cultures. For that, I am very grateful. TYL.

@emilianovittoriosi aww, this is really heart warming. Thank you for sharing. I know how it feels, coz got stuck overseas for 18 months due to the pandemic + work. But thank God back home with family :) Cheers to reunion and family!

@joanduarte certainly! Teams are a blessing. In my case (as an employee) my company's founders and colleagues are a bunch to be thankful for :)

January - Whole family +bf and my boyfriend's family as well got covid but thankfully we all healed. Got to travel to the US again after 2 years. Spent 3 months in the US specifically in Florida, Chicago & New York. Resigned from my analyst job and had trouble finding my footing for awhile and did part-time EA roles until I found Refocus. My grandparents coming home from Cebu for Christmas and New Year's. I am really grateful for this year despite all the struggles and my lowest year to date, I am still blessed beyond words. Thank You, Lord!

Hi! For me, it would be: 1. I witnessed what you would call God's perfect timing when I needed to look for a new job. They found me instead and all went smoothly. 2. Thankful for the upgrades I was able to finally do 3. That everyone in my family (and their families) are well and healthy this year :)
Rissy Miranda
@ish_atbp hey hey! God's plan and time is flawless. Often, human nature, we try to control over everything. But it is His will that will direct us to His great plan. But of course, we just don't sit and pray, we need to take action to fulfill all these :)

@rissy_miranda Totally love this! I did try resigning before but didn't have the peace as I filed my resignation. I prayed for God's intervention and to redirect me if it wasn't time for me to leave yet and He did! I now have testimonies for both my own timing and God's timing that I'm now sharing with our youth (:
Rahelita Luki
For all the experience no matter bad that is. Cz I can be stronger than I was the day before.
Rissy Miranda
@rahelitaluki perfectly put! It is through all these experience that we become who we are. Embrace them and use it to beautifully evolve :)

I am very thankful for EVERYTHING - but here are my top ones: I am thankful for God's perfect timing; never failing to show me that not everything I am praying for is what I should be getting. I am thankful for the gift of courage and confidence to explore and try things people say I couldn't do I am thankful for the ability to decipher God's love through everything - bad and good I am thankful that I didn't get everything I wanted - because I know I only deserve what I can manage. I am thankful for you, Rissy - and for the whole office family :) Thank you for being a part of my 2022 and onwards
Rissy Miranda
@sharon_paunan awww Shon! You are a blessing to us in the team! And I am so touched with your sharing. This is a reminder that we have to trust and have faith even if some of our prayers are not answered, as these could be a redirection for better paths. Cheers to your courage and clarity! xoxo

1. Past 2. Present 3. Future I always believe that everything happens for a reason. I am always grateful for the things that happened to me, things that are still happening and things that will happen. I become so strong because of my experiences. I am no longer afraid of tomorrow. Thanks!
Rissy Miranda
@jecka_ortillana woah, so complex. It is true, that we are the sum of our past, present and future. Regardless of whatever story we started, it is up to us on how we want to live it. thanks for sharing Jess :)
Zie (Travelling with Chiu)
Amen to that @rissy_miranda !!! <3 Also very thankful our whole fam got hit with covid but super thankful all of us got though it. Also had an opportunity to work at amazing companies. :)
Rissy Miranda
@zie_travelling_with_chiu_ some say that covid is just a common flu, but it's different for all. The difficulty in breathing and any possible complication is the terrifying part. So, being able to survive Covid with the entire fam is a blessing itself. Wishing everyone a festive holidays!
Anastasia Blinova
Wow!!! Great!!! Have a good time!
Rissy Miranda
@laban_johnson excitedly YES!! It's the anticipation on what is next that fuels us to love ahead! Cheers to the horizons we have conquered and another cheers to the new ones coming ahead!

As the year draws to a close, reflecting on 2022 brings immense gratitude. Firstly, overcoming the challenge of COVID that affected our household in February was a significant relief. Secondly, our son's graduation from JHS and the government subsidy for his SHS education feel like incredible blessings. Lastly, despite facing retrenchment in Q3, I swiftly found a new position in a company renowned for its fantastic working culture. These blessings are truly invaluable.
