"a duck in the pond is calm and carefree,
but what you don't see under the water
is the struggling and stressed feet..."
this text message has been sitting in my inbox since last september when a very good friend sent it to me. i decided to save it for the rainy days, well, just in case a friend or a loved one would need an inspiring thought or simply need a boost from all the things that are happening to him or her...i saved the message not knowing that it would be me who would benefit from it a couple of months later.
today, i am able to relate to this duck more than any other day. yes, i've had trials and challenges in the past few months but it was only now when i can actually say that i feel how the duck feels...how it seems to look so calm and carefree while deep down under the water, it's feet are struggling.
work and other obligations have been quite overwhelming the past few days. no, i am not complaining, in fact i am one person who secretly enjoys being busy and occupied until i can hardly keep my eyes from shutting. well, i guess i should have looked further before i took a leap for just this morning, i finally gave in. this morning i cried. i cried because of disappointments with unmet expectations. i cried because i felt scared that i might have too much on my hands at the moment. i cried for plans still waiting to be executed...i cried for dreams still waiting to be granted. i cried for many other reasons i can really never completely enumerate...BASTA, i cried and it surprisingly felt good Ü
after all the crying, i am thankful for a husband who has always been so supportive and understanding of my shortcomings, demands and idealism. i am thankful for him whose mere voice on the phone can pacify and calm my troubled heart and mind...indeed, i am affirmed that i made the right decision of marrying him not actually during the 'highs' but more of during the 'lows.' he has been living it up with the true meaning of being MY 3G - God's Greatest Gift and i will forever be thankful for that.
P.S. this is just my 2nd day of writing in my blog site and i was hoping to fill it up with happy and bubbly thoughts first, well atleast for the first few entries, but what can i say...i was struck with a different kind of inspiration today...nonetheless, i'm still hoping to spread those happy and bubbly thoughts in the NEAR future ♥
