My entry to the contest looking back and looking forward. Week 4.01.
Today is June 19, 2021. Knowing that many people from my past are passing away makes me a little sad. Not all the blame for my sadness lies with this pandemic lockdown. It also makes me very sad to know that the day to day busyness alone makes the days go by so fast and we forget to live.
I'm a working machine. I just remember that since I was 18 years old when I started working I have never had a real vacation. Because even on my vacations I had to work. I stopped seeing and sharing with many people who were important in my life but I had to work in order to get on with my life. And that's how I spent most of my time in life. And I don't want to do that anymore.
Now we are locked in by this terrible disease. Our friends and family are dying and now there is no time to see us alive again. Life is now. We have to stop thinking about tomorrow because we don't know if we will have it. No one knows the time to say goodbye to this earthly plane. I have faith in the spiritual plane and in that plane my hope is sustained.
But for the moment I leave a farewell greeting to all my friends, those who have left in one way or another in these past days. Friends that I will not see here anymore. Farewell, it was a pleasure to have you as companions in my life.

I am sorry to hear you feel sad. In a way I know what you mean. It has to do with getting older too. I also always worked and planned after years vacations, mainly to show my children something and for my health. It wasn't relaxed, work partly. My children can hardly remember anything of it but I took many photos. Today I think back of my own words as I "forced" them to go out.
I said: The day will come you can no longer travel. If you go now you have memories to look back at. I never thought that day would arrive so fast.
Sometimes it is nostalgic to remember the past. I like to see happy pictures to avoid remembering sadness. It is not pleasant for me to feel sad. I never like to feel sad about the past or the present. You can't waste time in sadness because life goes out of the blue.
It is easier said as done. Feeling sad is a feeling and it depends on the person how easily how easily this feeling shows. I assume it has to do with hormones and character too. At the moment my youngest feels sad. I cannot tell her she has no right to, shouldn't be or it's a waste of time.
Yes, we all have the right to feel the way we want to feel. The important thing is not to stay too long in those feelings that make us so vulnerable to external factors. My son sometimes tells me he is sad and we just talk about what is making him sad. I don't like to leave him alone when he is sad.
Gracias por la invitación amiga. Coincido contigo en que los días están pasando demasiado rápido. Por eso el proceso pandémico debe ser un momento aprovechado para reflexionar sobre cómo hemos llevado la vida durante mucho tiempo.
Every moment of silence in solitude is a good time to reflect on our life.
It is one of the things about growing older and even sadder now that we are not allowed to attend funerals due to the restrictions.
It is a reality check especially when our loved ones die. I started to appreciate the time I have with everyone who means a lot to me, even if the only thing I could afford now is just a phone call to them. It is good to be able to listen to their voice.
We appreciate many things in the cries of our silence.
Hmm, yes sad to think of it. Even me life seems just flash of lightning. Am growing old, too, Me and hubby. I am sad for my children who are not financially stable. More specially this days of pandemic we supply for them. Praying they can overcome while we are still in this lifetime.
We must not lose faith. We are getting old but we are still strong enough to fight for them and for ourselves. thank you for commenting. it is nice to greet you again after a long time without seeing you.
Happy to meet you again here at ccc.
truly this pandemic is bringing the worse to humanity. i hope for this to cease soon
Yes, I too hope this ends soon.
I have no words to describe what I've felt when i read your thoughts. I didn't think about it and now I feel that I need to be in touch with my beloved ones as soon as possible. Regards.
Yes, our family and friends are important in our lives and we do not realize it until they are missing.
Es muy triste la realidad que vivimos, esperemos que pase pronto, para poder reencontramos con nuestros seres queridos. Un saludo.
Si, es lo que deseamos todos realmente hoy día.
