Nov 5
I was checking some of the learning modules this afternoon. A co-teacher entered the room and handed me a blank coupon bond and some markers. She said, "Since you are here, you might as well join the activity."
I looked at her wondering what's the paper for? She said...
"What are you thankful for during the pandemic?"
I remembered I have written something about it before. I jokingly asked if I can just send her a copy of what I have written before. But she said it should be a drawing.
Hello again dear readers! This is another spur-of-the-moment idea. I was thinking of writing something else just a while ago. In fact, I already started writing it. But the thought of the short activity early kept on nagging me. So, I decided to share with you what I drew. I did not take a picture of my drawing though. It was just a quick sketch. I did not even bother to ink it.
The things that I am thankful for during the pandemic
Before I came up with one thing that I am thankful for, there were several things that came into my mind.
Good Health for my Family. All throughout the pandemic, we were safe. Not that we did not get ill, we did but not covid. Oh yeah, I got hospitalized last May. But again, I am thankful that it was not covid. (Read: My Painful Ordeal Continued)
I still have my part-time job. Many have lost their jobs. I also lost my possible freelancing projects due to covid-19. But I'm thankful that I still have my part-time teaching job. The pay is good enough to get by.
My BCH earnings. Yes, my BCH earnings from read.cash and noise.cash helped a lot. Especially during school break. That was a couple of months that there was no school, therefore I had no salary.
For a moment, I was contemplating which of these should I use? I was thinking of my family. But then I thought of something not personal. I thought of the people who put their lives at stake during the pandemic. They are the people who sacrificed their own safety and their families so they could continue to help and serve others.
I guess you already know what I have in mind...
The Frontliners!
Yes, the doctors, the nurses, the security guards, the other medical and non-medical staff of the hospitals. Even the teachers, bankers, police officers, and the other people who kept on working despite the threat of the pandemic. For almost two years now, they are risking their lives to combat the deadly virus.
I did a quick sketch. of a doctor, a nurse, and a security guard for the activity. I was told to write something about my drawing. Instead. I just wrote a title with a marker. The title simply read "Frontliners"
I forgot to take a photo of my drawing though. But while I was drawing it, I thought of the illustrations that I uploaded to Pixabay.
So to all the frontliners out there. You continue to risk your health and lives to combat an invisible enemy for almost two years...
Thank You!
Thanks For Reading.

I had big losses due to pandemic but there is one thing for I could say I am grateful. It is my work from home and more time for spending with my kids.
