Hello, my dear read friends. Time flies so fast, doesn't it? We just celebrated New Year but here we are, on the 5th of Jan 2022.

I bought my Bam a local version of the Beyblade Burst stadium and since she got something, I also shopped for Saoirse. Since she is fascinated by the stars lately, I bought her glow in the dark star wall stickers. Does your kid like glow-in-the-dark stickers too? Since there were 50 stars in blue, pink, and green, I shared 20 of them with Bam. She was happy because the stars were beautiful to look at in the dark.

Whenever there is "darkness" or you are in the "dark", my friend, do you glow? Or dim? I am asking you this question because we are in trying and "dark" times, we need to be each other's light.

As a wife, when you found out your husband cheated on you- would you let him stay in the dark or do you "glow" and help him find his way? Will forgiveness shine in your heart or do you seek vengeance? Forgiveness is different from abuse. When you forgive, you do it for your peace of mind. When you let them abuse you, you allow them to do their mistakes over and over again.

As a friend, are you a wingman? If you are encouraged to work dishonestly by a friend just to get a promotion, are you gonna "glow" in the dark or would you follow the suggestion? Do you still believe that honesty is the best policy?

As an employee or worker, do you always follow your company's rules and regulations and do what's right or go with the wrongness of the crowd? You join them because you cannot beat them? Are you gonna "glow" or flicker in the dark or would you let them turn your light off? Do you still believe in punctuality and doing your best every day or what?

As a parent, when your child makes a mistake, are you gonna spare the rod or impose discipline or tolerate his or her inappropriate behavior? Or are you gonna glow in the dark and correct him or her? Would you like to have a disciplined child in the future or are you just gonna let your child figure out his fate when he grows up?

My friends, let us choose wisely on whether we want to "glow" in the dark so we could light other people's path or diminish in the darkness. There is so much we can do in this world, no matter how small it is. Be the light. Glow in the dark.

By the way, a lot of people are sick right now due to the weather. Please take care of yourselves, always observe minimum health protocols. We might not have the virus, but getting the flu makes us vulnerable.

Have a great day, everyone!
