a new hello

Firstly, I'd like to say Happy Easter! it's April and it's Easter Sunday. When I attended the Triduum Services I couldn't help but to remember a certain Easter that I celebrated back in Milwaukee. It was mid or late April but it snowed on the Holy Saturday. I, for a moment there, doubted myself and thinking that maybe I have mistakenly remember a Christmas celebration. But Wisconsin weather isn't the friendliest of all. It gave us snow on that Easter evening.

And this Easter season, I mourned. I mourned because I didn't quite feel the spirit of Easter within. My mornings have been scheduled with work, and the worries that they carried. It's sad, really. I want to feel more. I expect to feel more. Gladly, finally during the Easter Vigil I can feel some warmth. Warmth from the newly lit candles in the church, seeing them make the room brighter bit by bit. The warmth that I finally felt inside as well. That God is here. He is around us, and He saved us. It's amazing. I feel so small. I'm nothing. but always thankful.

and the next morning, I go back to work. yeaa that's how I spent my Easter weekend this year. and on Easter day, my cousin-niece is exactly one month old. :)
