deceiving laziness

and because i made all the reason to extend my not leaving the house, thus the previous entry, i rushed my way again to where i was supposed to go. tsk tsk. morning rush is such a shush. (haha corny. just wanted it to rhyme even if it didn't make any sense.) so yeah. i guess there was a pretty good reason for me to feel lazy this morning. i knew that it was gonna be a very very tiring day, and indeed it was.

But the laziness was just a deception, because today turned out to be a very happy day. it's the kind of day when God's love is just overflowing that you try to find people to share that love with. indeed, the day's opportunities were just perfect to do so. If only i could show you their clueless faces. they had no idea what was going on, why all of a sudden they're getting a spaghetti from people they don't know. it was priceless.

i remember mariel, one of the first kids we visited. she was about to get discharged from the hospital. her dad told us how she wanted a spaghetti as soon as they leave the hospital. wow. she must have been a good kid all the time that's why her fairy granted her one before she even left the hospital. Sheena, the cabbage patch-looking baby, was all cheery that she'd smile and laugh every time you call her attention. but she'd go teary-eyed when the camera was focused on her. but the most unforgettable for me was our interaction with the people "behind the scene". I would always associate a hospital with people such as the doctor, nurses, and patients. would you have thought of the people in the linen and laundry area? my friend did. and it was just heartwarming that she did. we gave them spaghetti as well.

These people, since it was an unexpected visit by not so remarkable people in their lives, they always ask, "why do this? what for?". And the answer? "well, why not?" i guess it's a subtle way of saying, "well, you've been a good worker, and i think you deserve more than what we're giving, but please, do accept it, anyway."

i think the best way to share that love is to think of the most taken for granted people, and see how you can put a smile on their faces. :) really it's all about making others happy, and it's already sharing love. most of the time we are held back by our pride and we back out at the thought of how awkward it is to do what we're about to do. and we just opt to let the opportunity pass thinking there'd be more to come. but what if it never comes? would you have regret it? would you have made your own opportunity?

so much to be happy about. so many people to bring happiness to. so many ways to make the world a happier place to live in. let's not be grumpy these humid days, please? smile. :)

(an exhale of a smiling person is cooler than a person with a grumpy face. but ironically, it's a good way of warming people's hearts.)
