#12 Today, Saturday

I'm 37 mins late as I type this post because it's already Sunday.

But that's beyond the point.

Today I finish the medication that causes drowsiness.

However, I found out (with lots of pain) why another set of antibiotics pills are directed to be taken with or after food. How? This is how:

Part 1, the night before, I took a pill before going to bed as directed. However, I did not eat any food along with it. I spent the next 45 minutes writhing in abdominal pain on bed.

Part 2, I took another pill 12 hours later, expecting to be taking my lunch soon. Within 2 minutes, I felt a slight ache in my stomach. Within 15 mins I was out of breath. By 30 mins I could barely walk. Somehow, though, I managed to meet Ben and grab lunch. And that solved it.

And then the day's events blurred past me.

It's quite a shame how every single ounce of happiness can be pushed away by a single bad experience/instance. Once again, I magnified the problem and minimized God.

So on the way back home, I asked myself, "Give me a reason why I should continue inviting and believing in someone who has betrayed, made use of and now even heaped sarcasm on me?"

Finding no answer, I asked God the same question, for a verse in reply.

"Haven't you done the same before? How different then are you?" came the simple answer.

"Fair enough," I thought. "Fair enough."

Once again, I'm humbled. Because it's not about the situation, but how I react to it.

P.S. I found the answer for myself; because I want to believe.
