Wednesday

I've been surfin' around the net for hours... thinking of nothing in particular. i just don't want to sleep yet. But before i retire to bed, let me just share this one realization i had last Wednesday.

after the mass, i went to the chapel and pray. While I was reading the novena to our Mother of Perpetual Help, there was a part where you have to name what you need... It goes something like this... and now in silence, let us pray for our personal intentions...(name it). It made me ponder on what I need or my intentions. Then I realized there's nothing on this earth that I need. I was blessed with so many graces. The thought of it made me cry, because for weeks, I've always been sad, crying once in a while, but I never had the time to stop and thank the Lord for providing me with all I need. I personally didn't have much in need. I guess in a way, it also is to say, that happiness does not come from material or earthly needs. It is something that to be shared with other people, like family, friends and with your special someone. However, this does not change the fact that I am so lucky and blessed. Suddenly, all my worries faded away.
