A 4:13 am day.

March 18, 2010

The clock read 4:13 am when I woke up unwillingly, again, this morning. Waking up in the middle of the night is my worse nightmare. Because nine out of ten times, sleep is over at that hour and minute. The only time I slept through the night this week was when we had the 4.4 earthquake at 4 am. So bummed that I missed it!

So whenever I tried to fall back to sleep because I was so tired, my brain just would not stop. Sometimes, I see a replay of the exciting part of my day. Sometimes, I think about things. Things like, how I should decorate my bedroom’s empty walls. Or, if Jesus was on twitter today, how many followers would he have?

All these hard thinking makes my head hurt. As I was struggling to get through the rest of my day, I received a phone call from a hospital staff asking if I was available for a Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep (NILMDTS) photo session. So there I went. My second time.

Due to the privacy agreement, I cannot share any picture, except this from the hospital lobby. But I can share my thought with you — every life deserves a celebration today, not depending upon whether one is going to live tomorrow. Celebrate yours today!
