Hello September!!

 

I would like to welcome you with renewed hope and excitement. I am not resigned for a dimmer season ahead. In Philippines, this month is the "official" start of Christmas. BER months as we say. 

The pandemic is here to stay for quite awhile until the vaccine is safe to be out in the market. Meanwhile, I have to live with its present circumstance and options, armored with resilience and courage. Otherwise, ItziBitziCrazy will turn to heightened insanity!!!Lol!!

I acknowledge and respect what I feel. There are still days that I get to be impatient with limited activities and socializations. I get sad and frustrated each time I hear of rising COVID cases and mortality and some damn people continue to refuse wearing a mask. I allow myself to cry. I sometimes do not know exactly what to pray anymore. I know however that God hears the silent anguish of my heart.

Somewhere in the Bible, there was a period of severe hardship, famine and suffering that lasted for forty years. It harnessed and sharpened the faith and reliance of the people to God. 40 years. We are on the seventh month under the pandemic umbrella yet it feels like a longgggg time already. Dear Lord, please not 40 years for us??:) You know me, I can be very specific and straightforward with my petitions. Please let go home to Sta. Ana next year??? Thank You.:)

For the meantime, let me be in the present. Breathing in, breathing out. Walk on the treadmill and do Pilates via Youtube. Do intermittent fasting as much as I can and eat raspberry cheesecake and Twix ice cream after. And scribble my thoughts exactly like what I do at this moment.

Breathe. Express. Pray.
