When there’s something to look forward to

 

I am racing against time; it’s past 12 a.m., I should have been dreaming in Sleep City by now. 

My hands seem to have grown numb with their exhausting date with the keyboard and mouse. My uncomfortable seat has become more uncomfortable. My back is aching, my eyes are tired. The Internet traffic is terrible, and Windows Internet Explorer is saying Not Responding.

Just a while back, I was trying to finish my assigned tasks. They were not the usual assignments I ordinarily do in connection with my work (which requires me to go to the office at times), and they have to be finished as soon as possible. When I have to rush something, “as soon as possible” means I need to extend my working hours. There’s no other way, there’s no shortcut for me because I do things festina lente, which is one of my undeniably obvious traits.

So because I’m slow at doing things, it means: When I’m doing a very difficult task, the stress is prolonged.

Right, I’m tired now, I can feel it. But you know what? I’m happy and thankful.

While I was working earlier, I was already feeling tired. But something hit me: It’s wonderful when you have something to look forward to, and I thank the Lord for giving me this warm insight. So, on remembering I wanted to check my blog and write about something, I began to feel like I can wait forever. I just love to write, and I’m happy for every opportunity I get.

Now that I have written something with a smiley, I’m looking forward to lying in bed, hugging my soft pillows and blanket, and thanking God for the day’s blessings and everything until I reach Sleep City.
