Come on, Chin Up!

It is becoming quite tough to deal with this pandemic. So I need to work harder than before.

@Shavkat true!

I also think that way, too. I need money to be considered as productive as much as possible.

you have point on this

I am glad that I can still balance my life working online. I just need to endure working during weekends.

I always remind myself that this is what I wanted to do. Now, I am enjoying my teaching stunts for this afternoon.

It sounds like Pretty is a pushy one. I am just saying it in a positive way. Because of this pandemic, it affects my mentality about it. But, not that serious.I guess you can teach me how to cook if it happens to visit you.

@DaddyEvil You are too young to lose your old man. I must admit that it is not my cup of tea for cooking. I can cook with the help of a recipe book. Now, it is easier with the help of YouTube. It seems like your mother was so preoccupied during your teen years.

@Shavkat You are correct. She can be quite pushy! (If/When we want to be left alone we each go into our own bedroom and close the door. ) I'd be happy to teach you how to cook, or just as happy cooking for you. I've cooked for Pretty, friends, and girlfriends since I was about 13. (When my dad passed away, my mom stopped cooking, so I took over.) I've had plenty of practice. (Pretty learned to cook by watching me cook for us since she was around 5 years old.) Sometimes she cooks, sometimes I cook. So far, I haven't poisoned anyone... and my friends that eat my cooking tell me they would get fat if they kept eating at my house!

I must admit that I need to revise my short-term goals this year. I will try my best to achieve them.

I am envious that you are an author now. I hope I can be one, too. I hope you can help me indulge myself in this endeavor.

@Shavkat The funny thing is I have a colleague who follows me on my social media account and asking me to teach her how to work online. So I asked, why would you need to? You salary is more than twice my salary? You don't need to have an extra job. Her answer, my children are in college. Another colleague asked me, when will you sell your car? What? Why would you wait for me to sell my car? Buy a new one, your salary is higher than mine. His reply, I don't know why my salary seems not always enough. I admire you for handling your finances well. See, we are also lucky in other ways. Knowing the online platform is something we should be proud of. When I want inspiration, I just count my blessings.

@ARIES1973 It seems some people are not contented with what they have. It has been a long time that I am living simply. It is none of my business to interfere with their lifestyle. I also think that God continues to bless me and be thankful for them.

I think I need to be like you. I am also feeling grateful that I still have a job and can earn to provide things for my immediate family.

I agree. I cannot deal with shortcomings in life. I continue to be more positive during this pandemic.

@Shavkat I do my best.

I am not that inspired lately. My company is becoming worse. But then, I need to face things positively.

@DianneN Thanks for the encouragement. I have to be more thankful for having a job. I hope this pandemic will be end soon.

@Shavkat Yes, stay positive and be thankful you have a job in this day and age. Life is tough for many.

Starting last week, I am listening to music before sleeping every night.

@just4him I agree. I need to sleep enough to function well on a daily basis.

@Shavkat You should sleep better.

I agree. Frontliners need to sacrifice a lot with this pandemic.

@ShifaLk

@Shavkat yes right... So true

You are lucky to found your true love. I hope someone will nag me, too.

@porwest I am not looking for her. It will come to the right time and place.

@Shavkat I am sure there will be someone to come along and nag you to your last breath. lol

I am planning to have a day off every Monday. I think need to slow down a bit.

@ZedSmart It is one of the reasons. But then, I need to secure my future.

@Shavkat it seems that you have the biggest responsibility on your back.

Usually, I have relaxation time during the daytime of weekdays. Then, I will work starting at 4 PM to midnight.

I am with you. At this point in time, I also need money. So I will brush off the idea of being tired of something and work hard for it.

I am trying to find my inspiration. Lately, I am watching video clips on youtube that are inspirational.

I hope I can go to the nearest beach. I started to watch a short TV series lately.
