Starting the Day with a Heavy Heart: Keeping Busy to Ease the Pain and Stress

Hello Hivers! Yesterday was a painful scenario in my country and today I wake up with a very sad feeling because of the arrest of former president in my country. I'm with my kids and my husband can't go home for a week because they are in heightened alert. In order to release this grief of mine, I wake up early and keeping myself busy.

Today, I don't have the interest to do my exercise so I just wash my face with my favorite kojic soap in order to refresh myself. Then I go back to my bedroom to fix it. Pile the blankets and pillows.

Then I go outside and bring one of the bed foam. This is my way to eliminate fungi or any bacteria in the bed since it can't be washed by water so I just let it heated under the sun. It will stay there for 3 to 4 hours.

After cleaning the bedroom, I then prepare breakfast. I just pre heat the leftover rice and fish. I put venigar, salt, pepper and additional water to boil.

Then before eating it's really our habit to pray. And my kids are diligent when it comes to praying, washing hands and sitting on the chairs. We enjoyed our breakfast today.

After eating I let my kids play in the living room with their toy cars and I'm here in the bathroom washing our clothes.

We don't have washing machine so I worked on it manually. After washing clothes we did take a bath and I prepare lunch. The soured fish at the breakfast I turned it into fried fish. I also fried some tomatoes and a dried fish. Then I prepare ketchup for my kids because that was their favorite, chili garlic and venigar with chili for me.

Yesterday's dinner i don't have an apetite. But today I'm trying my best so I can gain energy. That's all for today hivers. I hope you're having a great day. I just hope and pray that the problem in my country will be solved immediately in a peaceful way. I'm really afraid of wars as my kids are very young and it can ruin their future.

Sort:  

I was under the impression that almost all Filipinos really disliked Duterte?

However, I do think that it is a bad idea to arrest presidents for things they did while in power, the people and the other parts of government had the opportunity to remove him while he was in power. I think it is quite unfair to do so after the fact. This simply encourages all future presidents to be concerned about how their actions could result in them being imprisoned after they no longer hold office.

That is really sad news, and we really felt sadness about whats happening in our Country. We pray that all will be well.

@thelivingworld the most difficult one is that he is now very old. He has to enjoy his last days but he is stressed about it and he did not deserve it💔😭

We are also feeling sad about the arrest, but we must move forward and pray for him. I know they will do everything to win the case. Anyway, it looks like a productive day for you!

@charmingcherry yeah. I need to be productive in order to forget the sadness feelings. Because when i work a lot I can forget my problems and I am away on social media news

Sorry for this new, why they arrested the president?

@noemilunastorta it's on the news around the world. It's so heavy in the heart. It's because of political issues. It's hard to explain why😭

Hello, despite the events happening in our country, even though we are saddened by the arrest of our former president, life goes on. What we can do now is to pray for our beloved former president and for our country to be peaceful. Keep safe.

@badeth34 yeah. I'm coping up now like I used to work and eat. Pray and meditate. It looks like I have anxiety attack about the news but I'm accepting it from time to time because I need to accept the reality. Let's lift to God everything.

Im happy that your coping up already, That's right, let's just leave everything that happens in our country to God. I hope the problems in our country are solved quickly so that everyone can be happy.

What a delightful and lovely post. I wish you and your family every happiness and I'm sure there will be no further unrest and fighting :-)

@nathen007 I hope so. We don't want war it adds burden to everyone. It's difficult to focus in every day libing if the country is facing crisis

I feel sad too , that duterte was under arrest , but i know everything will be okay , only god knows what will happen , just continue to be productive and pray for the safety of our country ,.

@shydel the news is getting worse day by day. It's actually refraining me to work. Especially I'm an ESL teacher I cannot manage to smile to my students. But I'll be better. We'll hoping to get it better

Thanks for posting in the ASEAN Hive Community.
