I AM STILL AROUND.....

The past month of October, I went through some periods of lows that no one even knew because I was so good at hiding it. The pandemic is still around, causing so much stress at work, back home in the Philippines, and my ambivalent feelings of whether to have an early retirement or continue to_ work, just because on top of my head, my family, and my only , who was jobless for the entire year still needs my financial support. Then, it dawned on me, that if I were not around, they will find a way to survive anyway. So, I started on planning on that early retirement which, Godwilling, I'd like to_ commence early part of the year 2022. With that in mind, all of a sudden, good news came! Praise the Good Lord! My was recalled by the Emirates Airlines and as of this writing, he is going on 2 weeks of re-training, and then, he will be part of the roaster of scheduled flights again. Now, I can go ahead and move on with my plans. I just hope and pray that it is in agreement with God's plans for me...Thank you for reading my sentiments...I feel a lot better, but Yes! it's okay, not to be okay.

 I read ye! Great news to know that Mark will be doing routine works soon with Emirate Airlines. It is not easy to be off work for a long time. You know that! So for the many years you have done it, you owe yourself the peaceful retirement which you need and go back home to Mom to take care of her, about time! Hope your plans carry through in the next year!

Thanks Jane. I hope my plans will coincide with God's plans for me...I really have so much ambivalent feelings about many things. Blame it on being alone for decades.....Take care...Keep visiting...I am just around.....

 I feel you Elz.
Just recently I had a zoom meeting with a much younger entrepreneur about some investment. She apologetically belittled me for still working at my age instead of enjoying retirement and having passive income. Wtf, I can retire when I want to but I chose not to. I think I will be bored when I retire.
