On being thankful

Starting with a friend's wedding on the first weekend of December, I have been attending Mass regularly (at the time of this writing, a total of 3 times!).

I'm not a particularly religious person, though I did study in a Catholic school. Attending Mass nowadays is not because I've reached or am reaching for a certain kind of enlightenment. It's actually something I promised God back when I was studying for the bar. okay, okay, I wasn't exactly praying those times (I left that to my Mom), I was engaging in hardball negotiations. Hehehe.

I did say that if I failed, I was going to kill myself :(  And if I passed the bar, I was going to go to Mass for one whole year.

I took the bar back in 2007 and the results were out in 2008. God has been very good to me and my family during the intervening years between then and now, and I'm also thankful for that.

Almost five years later, I'm only now starting to hold my end of the bargain.

Sorry, I'm late.
