Eager to start anew

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I just came from a New Year's weekend in Boracay, and I was so revved up to start the New Year. I woke up this morning with all the To-do Lists on my head... I was so inspired  to get up and accomplish what I needed to do.

And so I went with my day....

But as the morning progress, I can already feel the itchy throat, the runny nose and the headache. Why is this happening? I guess my allergies acted up as we landed in Manila with the thick air pollution left by fireworks. "Kung kelan naman New Year ganito pa nararamdaman ko!" That's what all I can say. The mind is willing but the flesh is weak. Sometimes you really need to give in and so I rested half of the day and gave myself anti-histamines. I slept early and prayed that tomorrow would be a better day.

But the following day was no different but I managed to wake up did a bit of exercise, heard mass (it's First Wednesday!), bought my daughter's book, and did the grocery. After all that, I already felt my knees getting weak. So again, I have to give in and take a nap.

As I write this post, I gave myself a pat in the back for having the strength to write. I have to get an inspiration somewhere so I won't be too hard on myself for not being strong enough to do what I needed to do. Maybe the Lord is trying to tell me something... and as I browse my facebook page, I saw Bo Sanchez' page and this message struck me.

No Matter What Trials Come, Keep Doing The Good You’re Supposed To Do

Alright, this is just a stumbling block but no one can stop me from accomplishing the things I need to do.
