blank twenty days

This is the first article published in MATTERS in 2022. There is no surprise theme or special content, and it may not be a good article. Just consider it as a warm-up before rewriting!

In the days when there are very few posts recently, it seems to be blank for 20 days, how to live?

The last ten days of 2021 have been spent like ordinary people. After saying goodbye to a deceased friend, I stopped writing temporarily and devoted myself to the Christmas atmosphere. I participated in Mass, had fun, and received and sent many thanks and blessings. It's just that I am more reluctant to part with people and things.

It is a pity that some people have some things that really have to be broken, and they will really go into history with 2021 and become a memory in their lives. I finally understand what it means to cut off, give up, and leave.

Stepping into 2022, it is a wonderful feeling. After receiving a message of blessings one after another, I found revelation, just like my previous experience, I received revelation from him through some people and some things.

This is not a delusion caused by religious belief, but a personal experience all the time.

For a long time in the past, whenever I felt this way, I was a little bit resistant, unwilling to follow, thinking that the path I had chosen was better, and of course I suffered as a result.

In recent years, I have been hoping to get more enlightenment, and I don’t want to resist anymore. I ask to lead me, because I have been entangled with my own destiny too much, and I am tired and tired, so let me lie down and let me enjoy being pampered.

Indeed, on the first day of 2022, I received a text message from a friend who I hadn't talked to for a long time, and suddenly said the invitation.

On the third day, the person I was looking for sent me a text message before I texted. It happened to be about the personal investment and financial plan I talked to him last year, and he had a plan.

On the fifth day, an old classmate took me to a place to investigate and learn about some of the latest engineering technologies. In this place, a friend happened to be starting a business. When I asked other friends to give me his contact number, I learned that this friend was also want to find me. So, after the inspection, I met with this friend, who wanted to work with me.

On the sixth day, after volunteering at a nursing home for the elderly in the morning, I realized that the earlier the retirement career planning, the better, and in the afternoon, I decided on the first investment and financial plan of the year.

On the seventh day, I met an ordinary friend at the bank who I met during Christmas. He was very enthusiastic that day and asked for a photo. On this day, the group photo has not been sent to me, and the greeting is also indifferent. I suddenly realized that it is better not to meet some friends again. Friends list, not many, anyway, there are many close friends. So, on the same day, I said happy birthday to a friend I once knew, and after sending my blessings, I quietly lowered him back to the level of an ordinary friend, and there was one less person to care about.

On the ninth day, celebrate the birthday of a friend who has known each other for decades. How many decades have you lived in? It is a fate and a blessing to be able to spend happy childhood, youth and adulthood together, and to face birth, old age, illness and death together in the future. Not deliberately, but naturally linked together. And I, not only have one such friend, how much favored by God, how lucky will I be!

So, despite the loss of some people and things in 2021, I still have a lot of people and things that keep me from stopping, even more people will meet, and more things will happen. The seemingly blank twenty days are not blank.

Please continue to enlighten me, I am looking forward to it and will gladly follow.

Thank you, you didn't cut me off or leave me in 2021!
