A few minutes after the Zombie blog post below, I checked my mail to find this link.

Getting off Zombie Mode
Perhaps one of the laziest, but undeniably true prayers I have uttered lately goes like this, "God, I put today's concerns in your hands."
Lazy? Hmm, more like resigned. There are no specific issues, well, there are some, but none I would like to utter out loud; lest they become more true than I know they already are. But having to be content with 6 or less hours of sleep a day makes getting up even more of a chore. And just thinking about having to go through the day already makes me tired. That sounds so pathetic. More like ungrateful--which is probably one of those adjectives which I hate to be associated with or be around of.
So in lieu of pining for convenient joys and ranting about the rut of adult existence, I'm making a conscious effort to see beyond the smog. Things to be thankful for:
1. I can walk.
2. I can see.
3. I can talk.
4. Mighty Bond
5. Strawberry Jam
6. The Chowchow I saw this morning
7. Concerned people
8. Flavored Oatmeal
9. Post Selects
10.Artichoke Tea
11. Jumping Jacks
12. Ferrero
13. Unsolicited Smiles
14. Bananas
15. Electric Fans
16. Pink Walls
17. Memories of summers catching dragonflies, making cake-designs on carabao dung, and
weaving urban legends about the old banana tree.
18. Backfloats on calm waters
19. Avocado Shakes
20. House
21. Soft Pillows
These periodical bouts with existential issues could be bothersome. But I know that they happen for a reason/s. And whatever those reasons may be, and while they lay hidden, all I can do is go through the day as best as I could with the prayer that He won't let go of my hand.
