Sleepy Joy
Yesterday
night I burnt a huge portion of the midnight oil. Some restless thoughts kept
me away from falling into my strawberry sweet
dreams. I accidentally joined the forum chat of people who like me have AMC. It
was really unusual to chat with people who share the same difficulties and
accomplishments. Crazy as it might seem, but I have never met anyone with AMC
in my every day life. I sometimes wish I had such friends here. I don’t mean I
feel lonely or lack friends. I just mean that it’d be fun to communicate with
someone who’d understand me without any words.
I went to bed with the birds singing “good morning, honey sweet Daria”…:D So, as you can imagine I felt really sleepy all day long. But I somehow managed to do my usual things, to help my student with English. I’m glad I can function even after some hours of sleep!
Now I’m almost
dreaming…It’s so stormy outside. But I hope I’ll see myself in a beautiful
spring garden this night. My day was not so eventful. No real surprises. BUT…one
thing is enough to feel grateful forever for…today I opened my eyes, I saw my
dear mom who’s celebrating her Angel’s Day, I heard my dad on the phone, I saw
my good friend who cares for me even being so far away. I had my marvelous lunch. I had enough
strength to smile and dream. I did not do anything special today. No masterpiece
I can be proud of. I’m just grateful for being today. For my day. For this
miracle of my life. For the miracle of people around me. I am sleepy but happy. So, I’m flying to bed
now…
Sleep with angels - you are one of fhem, Dasha !!!
ReplyDeleteThia was your Mom's Saint's Day! Which Saint is it? Congratulations to her. This would be your mother's name day would it not?
ReplyDeleteI was on the computer last night when I saw the little notice pop up, "Daria is off line". I thought, oh me, she's been up almost all night! I thought about your sleepy head today. :) Glad you made it through the day.
Is this the correct Saint?
"The Holy Martyr Felicitas (also “Felicity”) was born of a rich Roman family. She boldly confessed before the emperor and civil authorities that she was a Christian. The pagan priests said that she was insulting the gods by spreading Christianity. St. Felicitas and her sons were turned over to the Prefect Publius for torture.
St. Felicitas was made to witness the suffering of her sons, and prayed to God that they would stand firm and enter the heavenly Kingdom before her. All her sons died as martyrs before the eyes of their mother, who was being tortured herself.
St. Felicitas soon followed her sons in martyrdom for Christ. They suffered at Rome about the year 164. St. Gregory Dialogus mentions her in his Commentary on the Gospel of St. Matthew (Mt.12:47)."
