    Daily writing prompt
    What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

    Who would not aspire to enjoy a prolonged life? It is indeed a blessing to experience the passage of time over the years. It would be irrational to claim that I do not desire a lengthy life, and I am confident that only a few would express such sentiments. While I do wish for a fulfilling and mature life, I am not inclined to outlive my vitality and become a burden to my loved ones, necessitating their daily care.

    In the event that I find myself in such a predicament, I would prefer a life where I can maintain my independence and relish each day without being a source of trouble for those around me. In such a scenario, I envision living a life free of regrets, savoring moments, and ensuring I leave behind no burdens for my loved ones. Witnessing the joys of my grandchildren and counting my blessings would be the epitome of a beautiful life, one that anyone would dream of experiencing.

  • How ‘One Day at a Time’ approach keeps me going

    If you had been reading my expressions daily, you would have understood me more or less to some extent. You might have a slight understanding of how I live my life, what I do, or my way of thinking. Today, like any other day, I had an insignificant yet blessed day. As I undertake the marathon journey of better living, I seem to have stuck at one point in time where the world stops revolving around me. I have faced numerous setbacks until now. I know I am seriously not in a position to relax and take one step at a time. Nevertheless, I am slowing down my pace and am looking forward to keep going instead of quitting or never moving forward. I am blessed that I am surrounded by wonderful people every single day who make my world a hundred times brighter. The simple question of “Ma’am, how are you? Are you okay?” makes my heart melt. If only I were in a better position, I would have no hesitation to stay longer.
