Smile Even Though Your Heart Is Aching

"Time falls away in these small hours"

Today was a long day for me. So much ups and downs got to me in just a span of one day. Troubles here and there, then suddenly joy suddenly comes along and brightens me up once again. These kinds of days would make us realize how fast things go and change in the world and we have to adjust to this to make us grow up and just to simply mature. Without these problems ahead of us, we wouldn't experience that one special gift that our Lord gave us because of His love for us. "LIFE"

This morning I was aware that our guidance counselor has arranged a college fair for our batch. I got excited when I heard about this because through that I'd be able to get more exposed to the different colleges around the country and some even outside the country. I haven't really made a decision yet to what course I'm going to take for college because right now there are so many things that I want to be but yet there is something that keeps them all together which means that I really can't take one out and be sure of my decision right away. In time I will and I hope that it would be the best choice for me.

One lesson I learned from this Sunday's gospel:"We should always be thankful for whatever blessing God gives us. No matter how small or how big it is, we should always say thanks to our Lord because generosity itself is already a very big blessing that comes with God's love."

Sometimes we might be too busy that we take for granted the things God gives us. Yes that is normal and God will understand us through that because of our busy lives. But as time passes by, we would be or should be able to realize the blessings that God gave us. He often gives us "blessings in disguise" and these are the ones that we often take for granted.

If you noticed my title, this would show the primary emotion that I have for this day. Another lesson to remember which would really help us everyday,

"Be optimistic. Seeing things positively would make our minds more relaxed and it would give us the vision to see the beauty of this world as well as life itself."

Until the next time.
