Silver lining: Always a Survivor



Dear Survivor You,

Currently, the world is in a state of pandemic.

In these uncertain times, it can be tough to keep your head on straight, amidst all the misinformation and panic spreading through the news.

Life is simple. It’s just not easy.

I see you understand what’s true and what isn’t true about the coronavirus in order to take care of yourself and your family, as well as to do your part in stopping the spread of the disease.

As you search for how to prevent viruses, you always find that most of the tips for keeping yourself safe are simple. Your best line of defense is simply to wash your hands often, and following health and social protocols.

Staying home as much as possible. Keeping your body as healthy as possible. Exercise, healthy food including plenty of fruits and vegetables, avoiding sugar, and drinking plenty of water can all go a long way in how to avoid catching a virus. You always said "this is a great time for you and your family to begin a healthier way of living. When your body is strong, your immune system can do a better job of fighting off the virus."

Stocking up on your snacks and other fave of your family, and binge-watch your favorite show while you rest easy, knowing you’re doing the right thing to do for the moment.


Life is a battleground.

As days go by, you keep on learning how to resist negative thoughts and to how to fill your minds with good and uplifting thoughts.



You always trying to put off the old and put on the new: You taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self.

Whatever happening outside your home, and things right now are okay even not okay. You always said, accepting first, then, thinking of doing other most right to be okay.

If you have time to enjoy life, you do things to cook whatever you want to give your family, relax, listen to uplifting music, garden, pet a furry love and spend time doing whatever it makes you happy.




Family matters first

You put top priority to your family. As quarantine situation, all family members are working from home. Everyone is always on digital, online doing job.

Unlike before the pandemic, everybody are outside the house, going to their office, schools and meetings. Going home at night, have eaten their dinner outside. But these times, wfh is the new normal.



Preparing and taking care of food for the whole day. Well, It's the same as when they are still students.


And now, happier as you enjoy having your grandbaby. Taking care of him as the parents having online classes inside their room.


Enjoying wonderful world.

Great to see you enjoying spending some time in blog land. The ideas and inspiration are abundant. Bloggers make incredible projects too.



Webinars, zoom meetings, mediacon as you call ...media conferences. 

The thing that you have enjoyed most about blogging is the connections you have made with people from all over the world.




A cloud has a silver lining

You see that there is a sign of hope. There is a positive aspect in an otherwise negative situation.

Make plans to look forward to. Filling your agenda every day. Idle time can cause you to dwell on negative thoughts, so instead keep yourself occupied. 



Survivor, again.

Many more happenings in your life, proof that you are one survivor...again. 

Having your second life, blessed by God, as survivor on brain aneurysm since year 2010. After working in a PR company, you enjoying the wonderful world as survivor. Make another life around the blogging community. Having people around with positive lifestyle. 

Very grateful and thankul. You staying alive and kicking. Doing right and being kind is your always motto in life.

And now experiences with the pandemic, you still having educational experiences, navigating roles and responsibilities, recognizing privilege, routine, monitoring and communication about COVID, vacillating emotions, connection, and meaningful experiences.


Being happy never goes out of style. You are one happy survivor.
