Difficult days had passed!

8 days, 7 nights in the hospital because my daughter was hospitalized was a very difficult day and night. I could not put my head on the training and my website when my daughter in the hospital. When she was sleeping I was only reading some posts or articles here in the Wealthy Affiliate but not in a full concentration.

Then I found engaging with some members here at Wealthy Affiliate as well as growing my network lift up my spirit. Sometimes the longest conversation I have in my mind turns into clicking the like button only. I realize that is something that I need to be improved.

Yesterday we back home finally. She is much better now. I heard she was laughing, chatting online with her friends this evening before she sleeps. That is a good sign. Time for myself is about to start again.

Back to work.

I opened the door at my workplace, I saw the squid and octopus that I made about last week before went to hospital lying on the table, dry but need to be finishing tomorrow. They still look ugly at the moment, need to make their eyes and sand them, etc, etc before putting them in the rubber silicone for mold. The size is good enough for medium size tillandsia plant after I tried putting my poor dry tillandsia theme in them. So far the customers understand the situation that makes their orders will be delayed, as well as other pots orders. About 70 cactus and succulent pot also hanging pots for tillandsia.

The snail journey to get that young fresh leaf.

I looked at the picture gallery that I took a long time ago on a rainy season. I found the snail and the butterfly picture at that time.

The rain just stops. The air is so fresh and the living creature happily walks out from their hideaway home. Perhaps they tempted by the smell of their food.

Some snails gathered around a plumeria tree. The tree is slippery after rain. They know it. They see the tree leaves look or maybe smell so delicious. The young fresh leaves on the top of the tree. Ahh..so high.

One by one the snail climb up the tree. The snail journey is not easy. They have to carry their own house as well because that is the best way she knows. And they are happy with it.

The snail amazes by a butterfly.

Sometimes the snail stopped, looks at a beautiful butterfly that easily flying to one flower to another on the other tree next to the plumeria tree where the snail climbed up.

The snail wonders how the butterfly does it. What an amazing thing.

The snail tries to move like a butterfly. She couldn't no matter how hard she tries. She forgot that she is not a butterfly but a snail.

She looks at herself then realizes that she is different. The snail checks what she has to continue her journey, to reach the top of the plumeria tree.

It's not a race. It's a journey.

Sitting down here at the teras, at 2:16 AM, with a cup of ginger tea before going to bed. Soon I will be back to my daily routine after taking a rest for a few hours. I have to be in a rush in making pots/planters for the customers that have been waiting patiently to be sent to them. Then spare a few hours for my self here in the Wealthy Affiliate.

I will catch up with the training here in Wealthy Affiliate and my website that has been neglected for a while. I have forgotten some of the training but it is alright. Needs to be refreshed then continue it again.
