Durian

The king of fruits is in season. 

Everywhere, everyone is having durian feast. Life is wonderful whenever this fruit is available. Multiple stalls line the streets all selling the fragrant fruits. 

People have made it a point to cultivate the best tasting fruits with the most flesh and tiny seed. To the grateful bunch, everyone of them is worth a praise. Most importantly, those who are kind enough not to use artificial pesticides in their orchards. 

Thank you.     

Guardian Angel

Some people believe that guardian angels are unseen forces that help us get through life. Others believe that guardian angels are people around us that help us create the path we need to walk through. 

Perhaps, guardian angels come in many forms. They can be seen or unseen. It does not really matter what shape or size or representation we imagine them to be. As long as we believe they are around to help us, then they are exactly where they need to be when they need to be. 

Sometimes, guardian angels might even come in two forms. One as the guardian taking charge of everything and protecting the entire family from harm. Another as the angel making sure everyone does what needs to be done and keeping everyone safe. They can be felt, seen, and touched. They shower us with love and forever have a place in our hearts.     

Sleep

When a dream seems random, try to pick up the pieces. It is just a puzzle waiting to be put together into a masterpiece. 

Awaken and cannot fall asleep again? 

Different people relaxing? 

A baby sleeping with a lullaby song? 

Father sleeping on the couch? 

Mother brushing teeth after dinner? 

All the strange and random appearances of people and incidents in a dream or several overlapping dreams can be interesting. Perhaps this particular dream is informing us the importance of sleep and that we should do everything we can to let ourselves sleep soundly at night.     

Lethargy

Is feeling tired equivalent to feeling lethargy? 

Some would answer yes, while some would probably say no. 

Tired is the most commonly used term in describing the feeling that we do not want to do anything. Sometimes it is due to lack of rest but sometimes it is simply by choice. For example, we do not want to get out of the house because there really is nothing interesting to do out there and we say "I am tired of the same old routine every Sunday. I might as well just choose to stay home this Sunday." 

The word tired is also more commonly used because of its simplicity in writing as well as pronunciation. This makes lethargy the better word to be used to describe the feeling of lack of energy. But what really is the difference between these two words? They sound different. They spell different. Do they mean different too? 

Perhaps not everyone would agree with the meaning perceived here. This is the way some people might see it. 

Tired refers to lack of energy with a cause. For example one is tired because one cannot sleep, or one is tired because one has done a lot of work for the day. After a good night's rest and energy is restored, one will be back to normal. 

Lethargy on the other hand refers to lack of energy, can be with or without a cause. For example one can feel lethargy because of lack of rest, but one can also feel lethargy without any direct cause at all. Perhaps it is the air quality. Perhaps it is hydration. Perhaps it is the side effects of having a vaccination. There is always a cause but because we lack understanding, we cannot find the cause and we think it has no cause. 

Perhaps it is also safe to say that lethargy sounds more serious than that of tired. Some people might think so because it is a less commonly used word. Some people might think so because it has more alphabets in it. Some people might think so because it is harder to pronounce. Whatever the reason, it is always great practice to get sufficient sleep, drink enough water, eat nutritious foods, and keep the mind clear. 

Note: For better explanation of the word tired and lethargy, please refer to a dictionary.  

Sleep

Sleep is the most important activity of any living being. It is the natural mechanism of healing, rejuvenation, and reset. We should be grateful to get this opportunity everyday. The beginning of each day is a new adventure and after every adventure we have the luxury to rest. 

We are in this era of history and this place on earth whereby we are able to sleep soundly and safely at night. We should be grateful for that each and every day. There has been those era whereby our ancestors are fearful to fall asleep because of dangers that lurk in the dark. There are also people who are living in places so extreme whereby sleeping means the possibility to never seeing tomorrow. 

If there are problems unsolved, just let go and live life as we should. There is no problem big enough that cannot be solved just a minute later. There is no problem big enough that should be allowed to disrupt our daily life, especially our sleep. It is all about being present in the moment and living life the way we should. 

There is one thing however, that we all should be aware of and concerned about. 

Nature. 

Nature provides and thus nature also has the ability to stop providing. Pay attention to be close to nature and protect nature. Everything else is just minute.
