It's good to be home even if it's just for slightly over a week. And yet with all the health crisis happening in the world right now, how do we truly enjoy this Lunar New Year?

I spent every single moment with my family, a much needed time alone with them; away from everything even from Steemit. That's why taking out my thinking cap and writing my daily post seems harder and longer than before. I guess it does takes some time to get back into momentum and go back into my normal routine in Vietnam.

But what is normal? Especially with the global pandemic virus all over the world, I can't but realised that it's like what we see in those tv / movies. I am Legend by actor Will Smith and Outbreak by actor Dustin Hoffman are some of the most significant movies that I can remember.

This is me on the left and my hubby @bitrocker2020 on the top left. Be it indoors or outdoors, everyone is wearing a mask to protect themselves. Bottom right is my fellow colleagues serving fresh juices and whole fruits to associates reminding them to be safe and care for themselves during this period. The good thing is that because wearing mask in the outdoors is very common for the Vietnamese, as such during situations like now, it comes naturally. Having a mask is like part of the fashion accessory for any attire.

As you may be aware, majority of the Chinese are celebrating the Lunar festival; depending on the country and beliefs origins, it may defer but it's still part of the same family tree of Chinese beliefs and culture.

Here is some of the community work from the local organisations in Vietnam; distributing mask to fellow workers and their family members as well. It's amazing to know that at times of survival and possible extinction of mankind, people come together to support each other. At the end, being as one is how we're going to overcome all obstacles that is thrown against us.

Perhaps, this is God's way of teaching us that no matter how far and how high we climb, we cannot overthrown Mother Nature and God Almighty.
