Have to wake up early to prepare breakfast. But before that, have to wash the glasses the guys used when they got thirsty at night plus the plates, the sets of spoon and fork left after their midnight snacks.
Then, check out the dirty clothes, separating whatever had to be separated (hiwalay kung hiwalay).
What is back-breaking is trying to tidy-up all the rooms in the house, from the living room, the dining room, the small but riot kitchen to the boys' "after-a-tsunami look", whew! No actual cleaning yet, just fixing the clutter (and not to mention the need to tackle the toilets).
Just staring at these swells up the head, working towards a blast of a headache.The solution? Don't let all of these impress you.
Yup, I read in a book entitled "Don't Give Up", that we should not be impressed by the difficulties in our life. I interpret it as . . . we must not let these challenges overwhelm us.
My motto "Kaya yan. Hindi pa naman ako dumudugo" (can do, not in a bleeding state yet).
One. My first step, is just to stand still for a while, after seeing and assessing the situation at hand (but not too long for it might scare me).
Two. Then, just tackle the one that needs immediate attention then rest, go Facebook or play with the dogs (but again, not too long). That's Three.
Oh well, all things shall come to past. I add, " Do all these things for His greater glory." Finally, this lightens things up.
I go and just do it. Oops that's Four.
Click! See, there goes my rice cooker, the rice is cooked. Great! Celebrate the little victories. And that's Five. It helps a long way.
P.S. God loves me.
