Good evening and I hope all of you guys are having a peaceful day as usual. I felt somehow drained today and I don't know why. Maybe its because I've been inside the house for too long since the restriction movement order(RMO) was in force. Living inside the house with another 6 peoples in it, surely affected me, in fact, all of us. Yet, I'm trying to be as positive and as creative as I should be. I shall learn and take a look at the bigger picture as we are blessed with intellect to be better.

In this season of staying-at-home, coronavirus has taught a lot of moral values and one of them is to be kind with your own family members. How? It's actually simple and all of us are doing it daily without realizing it. Waking up each other every morning, praise and saying the word "thank you" for every deed we've done for each other is just one of them. The catchphrase that I want to highlight here is ' to treat others like you want to be treated'.

Be thoughtful. We all share the same responsibilities as we live under one roof. None of us is just an observer whilst others are doing the house chores such as doing the laundry, cleaning the house every single day and petting the cats and kittens to brighten our day.[althought they sometimes peed in the living room :( ] Patience should be practiced at all the time because we don't want an undesirable situation to brew in the house. Even if there's a situation like one us being cheeky and somehow rude, we'll try to be the mature person here and let it go like a passing-by wind.

Be genuine. We don't need to please others. In this context, there aren't any needs to share our activities nor condition to grab attention from the outside world such as doing unmatured kinds of stuff or something like it. (you know what is it, right?) We should be better than that. Utilize the free time wholesomely with beneficial activities such as reading a book, drawing or even write your own story(just like me :) First and foremost, perform your religious practice to keep your spiritual department in check. Therefore, we should mildly mind our own business after completing the house chores and avoid to stir anything unwanted.

Most of all, I learn to be much more thankful in tons of ways, vividly. I am lucky that I still have a full, still living, happy and loving family member. Unlike others, some of them aren't so fortunate in this particular way and I must cherish my family more than everything. Even though my skills in expressing my gratitude and love towards my family are still awkward, I'm still learning to do so as none of them are bestowed upon me forever. Because all of us are just being borrowed for each other from God.

It's 3 o'clock in the morning and I felt a calmness. Others were sleeping soundly, some even snore while I'm writing nonchalantly~
