Home Sweet Home

I am mostly homebound since summer’s onset and here I am again finding the good in things. If there’s good in my tarrying at home, it is definitely the longer time spent with my family.

My first classes last semester start at 7am. I was in the habit of eating alone every five in the morning, leaving even before the sun rises, spending my day in school, arriving home late during the day and spending the rest of the day sleeping or studying. In short, there was actually very little time to mingle, and every time I take a while in front of the TV with my siblings, I’d end up feeling guilty afterwards for neglecting to devotedly spend my time on productive work.

But now for almost two weeks, things have been quite different. Wholly, actually. I hang out with my brothers, sisters and cousin most of the time (so I’m in with all the latest rumors about each of them, haha). They all have been sleeping snugly in my small room (with additional cushions on the floor) after watching dvd’s every night (Imagine the five of us in a room made exactly just for one.) I get to spend time with my sisters in the court; with my brothers in the mall. I am grateful for the fact that we are able to pray the rosary together every night. And perhaps this is a little too much exaltation, but I am also thankful that I now eat every meal of the day at home with everyone else here. :)

I knew this, but I have been recently reminded that I have indeed missed a lot. ;) TGIS! Thank goodness there is always time to mend things and catch up. :)
