My lessons learned from Covid-19

Kevin @excellence7 (3655) • Mauritius 26 Dec 20

We are living in a time which is very uncertain. Covid-19 has come as a bold reminder to us that nothing is permanent. We are all pilgrims on this planet and sooner or later, we will have to go. Covid-19 has taught me three...

Akke Ladye Because of COVID 19, I also have a lot of realization in life. For one, nothing is permanent and anyone or anything can be taken away from you. During the start of the pandemic, a lot of people's jobs were affected. The used to be busy and in demand jobs in...

Judging mother

Sunshine @Susnshine (12) • Jakarta, Indonesia 26 Dec 20

I heard that we're not allow to judge people especially a mom. They always have a reason for everything they did to their child. But what if we saw her treating her child harshly, do we still have to tolerate it and think that...

Akke Ladye Children deserve all the love and care in the world. They are God's greatest gift (that is what I believe). I could not judge a mother on how she treats her own child. It might be the mother may be experiencing depression, I do not know. But maybe she needed...

Akke Ladye We had a wonderful Christmas celebration. It was just us for now due to the pandemic but still I enjoyed our time together. My child was so excited to open his gifts even few days before Christmas. The moment he wakes up, he would ask me if it is Christmas...

Early Christmas Gift

Denise Knight @gnatsmom (2422) 26 Dec 20

About a week before Christmas, my husband gave me my Christmas gift. I have been without a stove for almost 9 months. I have been cooking on a hot plate and portable oven. So when the Christmas bonus came in, he went and bought me...

Bought him a small cake

LK2018 @Letranknight2015 (51938) • Philippines 23 Dec 20

Today is my brother's birthday. I haven't been able to give him anything for a while now. So I bought him a black forest with age candles, but I had to ask his birth year. Though he already have an ice cream cake, it's the thought...

Birthdays felt like it became ordinary

Christie @jainaproudmoore (457) 18 Dec 20

I used to look forward to birthdays when I was a child up until a few years back. I always get excited celebrating it with my family and another day, maybe a day before or after my actual birthday, I spend it with my dear friends....

Akke Ladye Just be positive and be thankful that you are given another year to live. I know it is painful but I hope it will get better in time. As for me, it is not ordinary but just different way of celebrating. In my younger years I used to receive gifts from parents...

My SADDEST Christmas

Shavkat @Shavkat (139672) • Philippines 19 Dec 20

As far as I can remember, the saddest Christmas Eve for me is having my medical mission in Tajikistan in 2010. The bottom line is I celebrated it by myself. My colleagues were not there for me. It was a decade ago that made me...

Akke Ladye It was more difficult for your cousin because of asthma and hopefully she will fully recover from the virus. I have to agree with you that many people are not taking this virus seriously. Many lives were already destroyed but some people chose not to believe...

Should we always obey the rules?

Arianna @Borlotti (268) • United States 17 Dec 20

I was brought up quite strict and definitely taught to always obey the rules. It didn't matter if those rules were from the pastor, the Bible, teachers at school, my parents, the government, or whatever. Rules were there to be...

Akke Ladye I am am a rule follower and I believe rules are made as a guide for people to follow in order to achieve the expected results. Rules are everywhere. We have it at home, it maybe for our own or even for the family or our children. In school for students,...

Christmas 2020

Susan @HazySue (39268) • Gouverneur, New York 17 Dec 20

Akke Ladye Thanks for sharing, you have a really inspiring tradition. Christmas is about giving. I am sure you can help more people as this tradition in your family are already practiced by your children and next to that, to the next generation.

What does it mean to you, to really love someone?

Arianna @Borlotti (268) • United States 16 Dec 20

I'm not in a relationship at the moment, but I dream of one day finding 'Mr. Right'. I guess that's one reason why I'm starting out to write a Romance novel. Kind of to explore the feelings and circumstances and ideas I have...

Akke Ladye I cant explain love in just one word as you can express it also through your actions. Love for my husband is when you accept not just his perfect traits but as well as his flaws. You are not marrying his good side but you are making a promise to stay by his...

The Gift of Family

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27560) • Philippines 16 Dec 20

One can't help feel hurt when one sees a wedding of a relative and one wasn't invited at all. So one reasons that that was just due to this CoViD thing. Same hurt when one sees other relatives on another branch celebrating a...

Akke Ladye We cannot choose our family, it is God's given gift. Families are not perfect, it has its own ups and downs. We may be hurt by a family member, or a family member might be hurt by us but it doesn't change the fact that we are still blood related. I guess we...

What does Christmas mean to you?

Arianna @Borlotti (268) • United States 15 Dec 20

I see dollar signs

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (119514) • United States 15 Dec 20

Well today is the 15th so it makes sense that we are being paid by myLot today. I earned $18.74. Not great but almost worth a tank's worth of gas for my car. I miss the old days of Epinions. I used to earn over $200 a month...

Difficult December No More

Raine38 @Raine38 (12250) • United States 15 Dec 20
