Achieving 200 posts plus 1 in less than a year
I saw my posts reached 200 yesterday. I just want to give my thoughts about it. I am happy for every little achievement I made no matter how little it may seem.
I know it is part of the chain that will help me reach my goals.
I am filled with open realization that the world is coming to a stage of extreme turning point. All I am thankful about is I am well today. Everytime I wake up, I say a prayer of thanksgiving, another day for me, my love ones, friends and for the world. We are living in an exciting time.
We are also living in a very dangerous time.
Being positive is not being blind to realities.
But realities can be interpreted by many versions. We as a positive minded bunch of people interpret it with hope and believe everything is going to be alright.
Who knows there will be 200 doors of opportunities for a better life!
Sometimes our sense of success is on the wrong direction. And maybe on a fallacious perspective.
In order to soften the impact of the coming days, weeks and months, we should start adjusting our way of life. Put more discipline in the way we use things. Like , let us eat as a means to live for another day.
As much as my 200 blogs has given me a sense of accomplishment, it also has given me a pause on assessing the next 10 months. Most of us, I guess, had a high expectation of 2020. But this early 2020 indeed would give us lesson worth learning for a lifetime. We are subjected by time and circumstances and only our resolve to be strong and brave can carry us through with the uncertain months ahead.
I also gained an insight on what things can become in another 10 months.
We may also lose our internet connections, our freedom to travel to places where we have our sources of income, to countries where we have our love ones not to mention our properties. We maybe stuck with our family members every night and day. Maybe the colleges or schools would open up through online.
Life is not what I envisioned it to be last December. Now people are much more discreet and prudent in spending and in giving, I suppose. I also feel, a lot of us have been quietly looking for answers to their unexpressed fear and distress of the future.
Not a few have been suffering a lot from this Covid-19. A lot have been in utter boredom because of the government imposed lock down to residents. Not a few are feeling the effect in different ways. The struggles to live day by day are getting more intense. Such as where to get the next food.
We all must go on and face the music.
For my next two hundred blogs, I wish that I should be earning from my own websites in a way that is good enough. And I would have learned all important skills to create a better and effective content.
By the next 200 blogs, I hope to see a brand new hope for everyone to look forward to.
The truth now? I just want to live in peace, maintain my decent standard of living. I hope, I could be able to smoothly carry on a transition to a new way of living. I wished to be adjusted well from the pressures and challenges of the future.
And live with my heart and mind free from the heavy loads of future uncertainties.
I wish to carry on as I have been- full of hope, full of grit and enthusiasm. The fire in me would either guide me or burn me. It is my quiet effort to strike a balance from not having enough and from doing too much.
Life works well in a balanced way. Moderation on every aspect is good.

Dear Florentino,
First of all, *Warmest Congrats* on your 200+ posts to date!
that's a call for celebration, surely, ... 🥂🍾 ...
Secondly, you've written a profound piece from the essence of your soul in sharing with us here today ...
when you said, 'lose internet connection,' -- that kinda happened to my computer when it went 'bongey' over the past day and a half -- tried to restore the software a number of times and the darn thing just didn't boot-up! .... well, this afternoon, i finally said to it --ok, this is the last, LAST, time i'm going to give the 'restore' command ... and that's it ... (if didn't work, then, in the trash bin it goes!) ....
well, lo and behold, quite some time, later, the laptop decided to cooperate with me and voila, there it is -- kick started alive again! .. go figure ... i just had to speak to it appropriately ... lol ...
having thought -- now what am i going to do without a working computer in a time like this?! ...
Thirdly, yes, we are certainly living in an uncertain time -- You were right about the beginning of 2020 --we were full of hope & optimism that first month or two ... and then seemingly all of a sudden, things changed and rapidly, too! ... the whole entire world! ... we all became speechless with the rapidity of the 'shutdown' everywhere ... how can that be? .... never before experienced in human history? ..
And finally, yes, we are now very much on a new journey where 'no (person) has ever gone before' ...
I don't know why it felt weirdly funny about your computer. You need to be respectful of it Lol. Seriously, I couldn't imagine you being quiet. I love your cheerios and I love your intelligence.
Yes life, as we have now, becomes the words from the StarTrek. Let's keep our heart, soul, and brain together as we traverse the exciting months ahead of the once charming 2020. Thank you for your appreciation. I appreciate you more than you would ever know.
My goodness Florentino, 200 posts is quite an accomplishment!
2020 has started in a way none of us could have imagined.
I feel more than change, it is the uncertainty that of what the future holds that's so worrisome. How do you plan when you are not able to anticipate what lies ahead?
I have no answer except to keep moving one foot in front of the other and making time to read inspiring posts like yours when I can!

The future is a great Chasm of unknowns, in today's world within the hour we may shake the hand of the man that may cause the end of our life. The concerns we have today are not those that homeowners, health and auto insurance coverage will make us feel that much better about. As adults we are as afraid as a child in bed worried about the bogeyman in his closet at night. We have to be more understanding of each other more than ever and much more compassionate. This post man does not ring twice but thank God we have all realized that no man is an island.

Congrats on your 200 posts. Just this morning I was thinking about how differently things turned out this year compared to what I had expected when I was planning for 2020.
Thankfully, WA has enabled many of us to not fear the online world.
I wish you the best along with good health.
I appreciate your good wishes. And do the same, stay safe and healthy. Thanks for passing by, Sondra.
