Just Saying!

I chanced upon this blog as I was 'Googling' and I realized that I have not written any post for the past year. When the pandemic happened and I started working from home, I thought it would be the best opportunity for me to start writing again. My excitement produced 2 blog posts, but that was it. Nothing followed. Fast forward to this time. Since I have some time to spare, let me just say this regarding what's happening out there. We are all tired of the quarantine life and wish we can go back to how we live before this virus came to being.

Hopefully though, this selflessness goes beyond the end of this pandemic. Giving sincerely is powerful not only for the heart but also for the mind and soul. It provides an intrinsic reward that’s far more valuable than the gift.   It’s ‘finding one’s self by losing it in the service of others. As we nest in the comforts of our home, let us continuously find ways to help others in even small and meaningful ways.

I have read everything there is to read about the Covid-19, and I am religiously keeping tab of the number of cases every day. With all the mishaps and misgivings of the government and the stubbornness of the public, it seems we’re in this for a long haul. As I am now conscious of this negative feeling that is starting to creep in, I am telling myself that I need to break out from it and continue being optimistic with life. So, I searched the world wide web on how to keep my sanity during this crisis. Here are good recommendations that I found: 1. Avoid internalizing everything that is going on. Read only credible sources of information. Stay away from negative comments and per...
