Life goes on

Life goes on, yes, life must go on. This is also the new single of the famous Korean group of this decade, the BTS. My daughter keeps on watching it over and over and as early as 6 in the morning this has been our family alarm clock. The mellow sound is very relaxing and feel good, like perfect for the cold Christmas feels. The group BTS is not my topic actually but the phrase 'LIFE GOES ON'. Very timely for what is happening around the world. From the eruption of the Taal Volcano as early as January then the pandemic which still unresolved, June I lost my job, then just last month two (2) typhoon hit our country and many people have lost their lives, their livelihood, their properties. This year is the most challenging year I ever witnessed in my whole life. Here I am, here we are fighting and moving on. If only we can fast forward everything hoping that year 2021 will be better but no one knows what that year is in store for each of us. I did not mourn or felt frustrated when I lost my job, I actually think that it was the perfect moment to create beautiful memories with my daughter and my family. It's ablessing actually because I see how my sister struggle working when her son wants to be carried or wants to eat or wants her attention. We may not be prepared financially but that does not pressure me to look for a new job. Although I tried searching and was hired once but then I stopped and resigned immediately. I think that it's not yet time for me to go back to the corporate world and be away again with my child. I saw and feel how she longs for me and that is more than enough reason for me to stop working temporarily and focus on her. Anyway I have different platforms where I can earn some amount. It may not be that much but at least there is no pressure, no deadline, no overtime. My boss now is my baby. Life goes on, there is no way we should feel devastated and lost track. We should remain calm, stay optimistic and be grateful still. We are still alive, we have our family around us, we have new circle of friends; virtual ones where we can share our ideas, our thoughts, our sentiments, our passion and our vision. A new family who uplifts one another not just emotionally and financially but most importantly spiritually. This year taught us that bending our knees is the best weapon that one must have. It helps us strengthen our faith with our Creator. We learn to lift everything to Him. It helps us to be more compassionate, prayerful and to be humble. Everything that is happening, challenges us not to weaken our faith and love for Him but to let go and let God take control. He is our only hope and the He should be the main reason why we must go on and enjoy life. There are a lot more reason to celebrate, to smile, to laugh, be thankful and be grateful. I am thankful that when one platform closes, more other platforms opened up and that includes readcash. ...^•°... Thanks for reading. Keep inspiring. Keep smiling. XOXO, bbghitte
