Alive & Thriving Fifth Anniversary on this Midweek || AATYr5 || Prompt A Day 😊

Happy midweek 🎉 Today marks the completion of my fifth year since I joined the #iamalivechallenge back in the days when Erik first started the challenge. Since then we've seen many folks come and go. I'd say it's pretty sad at times but then I suppose that's life. We all have 3D offline lives too. Sometimes they get in the way of our online activities. 😆 Around a year or so after the challenge was started, I moved forward from #iamalivechallenge to #aliveandthriving. The journey has not been easy these past few years. That's just life -- it happens. For what purpose, I really don't know. I just keep moving forward one day at a time. In some ways, there's beauty in seeing life unfold. 🤔 I try not to think too far out into the future anymore as there are a lot of things beyond my control. For now, what works for me is I focus on my road to wellness. One task at a time.

One more week and we will be saying good-bye to another month. Amazing how time flies, right? I did mention about my run to the bakeshop yesterday, so I'm going to share my walk. These days my daily goal is at least 1,500 steps. That's a lot for me esp. with my mobility issue. I do try and push myself a little 'coz at the end of the day, I've got to do things by myself. There's really no one I can depend on, so I need to learn. I'm really used to doing most things by myself before, my mobility issue just got in the way. I'm simply trying to regain a little of my strength as it's truly empowering. I hope that this daily walking exercise will work out well in the long run. I truly miss being able to do long walks like before. 😒🙏❤️💡

I suppose I should learn from this quote, right? Do one task at a time. Go slow yet steady. Just keep going. I should get there eventually. 🙄 Right now though, my daily life would be much better if summer is over. 😅 The heat inside the flat takes a toll on my energy. Since I can't control the weather or the season, I find ways to make my life more comfortable. It's just a matter of until when? So many more things waiting to be done, but sometimes I need to wait. I pray nature will hurry a bit and bring me some rain. 😂

One week to go. April is almost over. Google says the hottest month here is May, yet based on past experiences, the hottest temperatures were mostly in April. 😒 I suppose it's wait and see what another new month will bring me. One thing for sure, May is Mom's death anniversary -- the 31st to be exact. I will need to order flowers for her fourth death anniversary.

I honestly feel like I'm living life on a loop. BooHoo! It's a wrap. Tomorrow begins my sixth year of journey towards #aliveandthriving. May it only bring me better and best days. 🙏❤️💡Do enjoy your midweek. Nighty night from Manila. Ta-tah! 👋
