The past year has probably been the most turbulent year of my life so far with so many changes and challenges to cope with and since I never was a multitasker by nature, I always have to let go of some things when I need to focus on something bigger and more important.
First of all congratulations on your Hive birthday. Life sometimes brings challenges, and we learn to cope from these turbulent times, isn't it ? ( otherwise, we just let it go always). Human nature is like that, given choice, we always pick the comfortable one, but if you don't have choice, then you grow a strong mindset to deal with anything. These times will be memorable moments of life.
And a lovely post to catch up with what's going on, sorry to hear about the 800th birthday gift, a natural calamity always brings pain, but the administration / govt should plan better to have them again, or at least deal with the situation better.
And to the best part - Florecita (Flora ), our little princess will always inspire you both to go through all these difficulties. She has that divine gift reflecting on her face. Always remember that famous quote from Bhagbad Gita - this too shall pass. So enjoy the ride and everything will be absolutely fine.
