*GOOD DAY TO ALL FELLOW STEEMIANS!

Im here again Marites a.k.a @misumiyah214 greet you all a blessed day to all,be thankful always to our God for giving us strenght and spirit to move everyday of our live.

Since I start on steemit,for me every single minute is precious to make a time management to do all things for that day,I strive that day to finish with no regrets but its not easy because to have on steemit we have to give time to brainstorming what I post for today,I've so much work to delayed because of steemit, to have a good content why? Because it challenge me or in process of learning aside from what I am suppose to do,but I have a time bracket for how many hours to be on steemit

Aside from my everyday work, I am a single mom of a 4yrs old son,thats why everyday is a challenge to be in time management.A time for myself,a time for my kids,time for cleaning and washing clothes and dishes to cooking,and the menu,what do I cook for the day.

Being a single mother is very hard for everyday specially, financially unstable

Everyday when I wake up in the morning,before I stand in my bed,first I say to God thank you for waking me up,take a deep breath for 5x then I ask God to help me to do things that to follow his will,and make me a good example an a light to others to give a reflection of Jesus is alive to those hopeless people.
