Sleep-Deprived

That's how I feel right now. I've been sleeping on time mind you but I still feel like I haven't really slept in days. That's probably because in the past several nights, I've been waking up every hour on the hour. Hopefully, I'll be able to get a good night sleep tonight.

It's Holy Week this week. When I was growing up, the week meant going to church everyday of the week. I remember joining processions almost every night then spending Maundy Thursday through Good Friday in church grounds while listening to the old folks read/sang the "Passion of Christ". It became like a devotion for me and my friends to be there every year from the time I was in grade school through high school. I never did learn how to 'sing' the passion but it sure was fun listening to the older people do it. I believe one of my brothers does it now with some of his peers.

I miss spending Holy Week in the Philippines. The last time I was able to do that was decades ago that I can no longer remember it. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to experience it again but I sure hope so.
