Wendy has a school project for Filipino wherein she and her classmates have to write a diary for the whole month of February. I asked her if I can read her entries, and she said yes. I was amused by her diary entries because if ALL started like this:
“Gumising ako tapos…”
Funny because I never heard of someone starting a diary that way. I mean, it happens every day diba, so why write it in your diary?
But then, come to think of it, isn’t waking up the prerequisite of living? Obviously, if you don’t wake up, you literally cease to live! And if you cease to live, you won’t be even writing in your diary! He! he!
It made me think that every day we wake up is indeed a blessing. Yes, waking day after day means we get older [and need face moisturizers or antiaging pills], but at least we are given another day to live!
So for every day that you wake up, don’t forget to say a little prayer of thanks!
