Every single day, I arrive almost 9 in the evening. With head in severe pain, feel like vomiting, a little bit dizzy, and all I wanted is to take a nap and have some peaceful moment with myself, nothing more nothing less.
But I still need to attend to my son's needs: checking his assignments, asking him of what's new for the day, facilitate his review for tomorrow's test, making sure he has already taken his vitamins, etc., etc...
And before I could forget, I still have other chores to attend to like --checking the dogs, checking the bathroom, checking the gas stove, checking the used clothes, checking, checking, checking...
And all of these I have to do with my worst condition...whew! very funny!
But it's not at all bad. Actually, It's all worth it.
Yes, I mean, It's worth all the pain, the struggle, the anxiety, everything! :-)
And for you to understand me, I guess I need to get back from how it started.
And this is how it all began...once upon MY time.
EIGHT months ago, I was a simple happy-go-lucky-not-so-active individual. Get it? Okay, to make it clear, I am not an endangered specie and I play the role of the common others. Simple life with simple joys. I worry just myself, my family and those who surround me. Perhaps, the worst thing that I would be concerned about is the health of my family whenever one of them gets ill-stricken. That could make me melt like ice cream placed under the sun. But as they say, life is running on circles. Our destinies are meant to evolve each day, each moment. We never can tell how God's plan for us can change our lives in an instant. Well, they used to say, God has better purpose. So what we need to do is just follow His will. And His will for me resembles that of a typical Cinderella story. Tadaann!!! (shimmering splendid scene with audio background) No, it's not like that. I mean, it's a typical story of transformation. From being nobody to Somebody...from being a caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly... from being a self-centered individual to becoming a dynamic social animal... from Peter Parker to Spiderman...from ego to alter ego...and many, many more.
But it's true, fairytale and hero tale stories used to happen in real life. And my life is a good example, anyway. I am no superhero, but I have experienced all what it takes in that fantasy tale.
Let's check by these questions:
>Are there villains? Yes!
>Conflict or struggles? Yes!
>Change in status? Yes!
>Spectacle? Yes!
>Best Performance Award? Yes!
>Celebration? Yes!
>Prince Charming? Not necessary :-)
Now I'm a new person, crowned with position, bestowed with power and dressed in might. Never did I expect this beautiful metamorphosis to happen sooner in my life.
The thing is, how my life changed isn't the real BIG thing.
It's how I coped up with all these changes is what makes this post worth reading.
And this happens for a very good cause.
8 months ago, I love just myself.
Now, I'm here doing things for the good of the group where I do now belong. And things weren't that smooth on the onset. There were stories of misunderstandings, hate and conflict. There were confusions, aggressions, and misinterpretations. But thanks to God that He gave much strength and courage to survive everything and go on with life.
God gave me reasons to cheer-up, even when the tough gets going and the going gets tough.
He gave me friends to comfort me and make me feel loved.
He showered me with inspiration through the countless signs of times.
And God made me feel how good to feel blessed as what I feel right now.
People may judge me for what they see. But what is really important is how I see myself that could make me judge people.
I may be restless for a day, but I don't let hope slip out of my sanity.
I may be exhausted, but I don't let happiness not touch me for a day.
I maybe empty for once, but I don't allow anyone take away my faith in God and hope for a good life .
I always count my blessings, and it gives me much inspiration to thank my life and ask for more.
After all, it's all worth it. My life is worth living for- for myself, for everyone. And it's something that I want to continue even if it causes me the same difficulties in life.
Every single day i wake up. Same routine. Same work. Same plan.
But I will not forget that God has a plan for me to make things better each day.
And that will make everything okay for every single day.
It may not be perfect always, but at the end of the day I will say
It's all worth it.
