Erica... Ressurected from Beyond

I'm all prepared to hit my slumber. However, I cannot not let this night pass without writing something about my day.

It all started with attending an Easter vigil with the family and was able to spend quite a very good time with them. Gone are the holy days when I have to reflect on what I did for the past years. Gone are the days when I had to list down my resolutions for my own betterment.

I may have spent an hour of sleep then, head bowing involuntarily as I hear this Sunday's sermon. As much as I wanted to go home and sleep, seeing my little angel's face pasted with an innocent smile made me all jazzed up since I know he is enjoying much.

In the afternoon, I decided to meet up with my best friends Mishee and Reena for a coffee. Not seeing them for five days feels like a year to me. As always, we had a nice chat and was able to spend a very great time.

In one of those talks, we were able to open up the fact that I might be leaving soon. And for the very first time, there was not even an inch of jittery felt when we started talking about it. All I felt was a pure moxie and happiness.

And so I went home. While opening our gate, my dad and my son raced their way to open the door for me, so thrilled to see me like I've been gone for a year.

"What's wrong with the picture?", I asked myself.

Moreover, my honey called up with voice raspy (recovering from a very nasty throat infection), but thrilled and looking forward to come home in time for my visa appearance. He was so sweet and so many stories told like we haven't talked for weeks.

Again, "What's wrong with the picture?".

I was skeptical of what has been going on but I realized there is no need for that. Instead, I have to be thankful for everything that as happened. Not a single day today that I frowned nor shouted at someone.

My time has come again. I felt like Christ who has to suffer a lot of pain for the past weeks.. and months. Yet at the end of the day, will come out victorious, anticipating the brickbat of the challenging world called Life.

I feel so lighthearted and I could not find a perfect adjective to describe it. Only one thing is certain, I have re-learned the three most valuable things in life today... FAITH, HOPE and LOVE. Never lose it, never go without it.

So I felt like a new person. Rebirth, as what I would call.
I am ready to change the world.
And I will start it by changing me..

... Before I meet my demise today, I might as well stop this and sleep. I can hear my dad's latest pet/s (BEES!) somewhere lurking in this room and I don't want to ruin this special day by getting stung. Might as well close my windows now.

Until tomorrow!
