When the Waters Get Rough

 When the Waters Get Rough

HAPPY EASTER folks ! Throughout my life, the high seas have always frightened me.  To me, those immense sheets of waters can gobble you up in a bit and that's it.  Of course, similar risks are there with air travel but if I have fears with sea travel, I have that exact calmness with air travel.  That explains why, for every year of hard work, I reward myself and  my family with those holidays which I meticulously plan down to the last detail, including the type of in-flight meals to be ordered, no single detail is missed out.  Then, kaboooooom, this pandemic broke out more than a year ago and we are all left stalled here in our homes. So, where do we go from here ?  After a year, I realized we are left with three priorities, e.g. WALK AWAY from the PAST, FOCUS on the PRESENT and PLAN for the FUTURE [for whatever is in store for us].

Let's get down to brass tactics.

The PAST ?

Let's not go back and harp on it, that's down the drain.  Example, a year ago, you planned for a cruise holiday but that plan just fell through because of this pandemic.  So, walk away from the past.
The PRESENT ?

Live the moment NOW with your loved ones. Cherish every day, hour, minute.  Despite the constraints of being stalled in

our homes, be creative how our family will appreciate when we live the moment and that's NOW !

The FUTURE ?

Plan ahead based on both best and worst case scenarios.  Awhile ago, I read this CNN article datelined today, about Ricardo Ramirez who himself got admitted for nine weeks in New York.  Being a medical worker, he knew 

when the tide of the water was rising and stemming that rise was the last thing he want to think of.  Instead, in his hospital bed, he was frantically calling his son, verbally giving him his passwords of his important accounts as he has to take over the reins when he passes away.  And that was nerve-wracking and touching just reading it.

Indeed this pandemic is [literally] killing us.  No one is shielded from this crisis.  What's more threatening is that our global pandemic will worsen before it gets better.  Looking at the charts, those spikes should surface out not just as an spike but instead, a legitimate upswing.

With  all these heart-stabbing realities, please consider our PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE approach.  Which means, live the moment with your families and to take care of our family's future, exert your best BUT anticipate the 'worst' because we never know, honestly.  At this point, whether you are God-centered or not, everything is beyond our control.  Meanwhile, DON'T unbuckle your seatbelts yet, please❗❗❗
