What is your favorite thing about this time of year?
Actually, it's really hard for me to find what's my favorite thing this year because this year is the worst.
But thank you @melinda010100 for this question because it makes me think and reflect more about what I have been through this year.
Last year I decided to quit my job because my fiance and I planned to get married in December last year and I planned to move to my fiance country. But the pandemic came and ruined all our plans.
And then I entered this year 2021, I don't have a job, need to postpone the wedding because of the pandemic, and being in LDR longer than we planned without knowing when will this pandemic end.
I tried to find a new job but it was really difficult and made me feel hopeless. In the midst of waiting and in this uncertainty drives me crazy. As a thinker person who likes to plan everything in my life, this condition is totally difficult. Can't plan anything because everything is uncertain. Wait and just do nothing is so frustrating.
But I keep trying to live day by day, month by month trying to survive.
What is your favorite thing about this time of year?
When I read this question, it makes me think and reflect more about this year. Before I only felt angry when I remembered what happened this year, I only thought about what I have lost because of this pandemic. But now I start seeing many things that I got from this situation.
Because I don't have a job it makes me more creative in finding ways to earn money. I started my own business even though it's small. And I have flexible time because I didn't work at the office.
Because of the delay of the wedding, it makes my fiance and I know each other deeper even stronger than before. We have more time to prepare for our marriage life which is more important than the wedding day.
Because of this situation, I live with my parents. I am glad for this opportunity after many years I lived far from them. I have more time with my parents and family. It's really good to spend more time with them before I will be far again from my parents.
Also, I found this Hive community. I love writing and writing all my feelings and thinking are really good for me. It releases my stress.
I would like to say THANK YOU also to the following ladies who created this @ladiesofhive to encourage every single woman.
So, if I need to answer this question specifically,
What is your favorite thing about this time of year?
My favorite thing about this year is the "waiting".
I know waiting is difficult.
But when I am waiting I am growing.
Being in waiting can mold my character. I became a more patient person. In waiting, I got many good opportunities.
In waiting I get all that I need, not what I want
So, if we need to wait for something...
let's enjoy the waiting and grow.
That's all for today. Thank you, ladies!
I would like to invite @mimolife to make her entry.
Hive a great day!❤️

You received 5 LADY(LOH) token for entering the Ladies of Hive contest.
Please note that since our LOH token is still so new, that it will be worth more if we HOLD them for a bit before trying to sell them. Some have been trying to sell them immediately after receiving them, but holding them for a bit will help them to increase in value! We are working behind-the-scenes to try to keep the price stable, but the "sell orders" are hampering the stabilization of the price of this new token. Please hold on to your tokens. Thank you! 🙂
Sweetness comes out of a bad situation, you have enjoyed family, time to reassess and plan, time is still on your side, hope your dreams come true soon.
Thank you 😊
What a thoughtful post! Sometimes it is difficult to see the good side when you are stuck in the middle of the bad stuff! You are an inspiration and I feel certain you are going to come out extremely well on the other side of all of this.
Thank you 😊

Hello @nikestory. Thank you for joining in the Ladies of Hive Contest this week. What an interesting concept you present as your favorite think this time of year:
I was at a loss until you explained exactly what "waiting" meant to you and all the hardships you've been through starting with the loss of your employment and delay in your wedding plans.
Is the image shown that of you and your finance?
Those items can certainly place one in a state of waiting to see how it all work out. Funny thing is, as you say, waiting demands patience. Either you have it or you learn to have it. It gives you time to think and assess all your options on how you want to proceed.
I certainly hope things work out for you and your fiance. Good luck for your future, and I hope you find employment.
Appreciate you sharing your story. Good luck in the contest. Have a good weekend.
Hi @justclickindiva thank you for sharing 😊
Yes, that's the image of my fiance and I. We took those as our pre-wedding photo shoot on January, 2019.
Actually I am not a patient person, but this waiting force me to be patient more..
Yeah need long time to see the beauty behind this hard situation. At the beginning I just felt angry all the time, but I can't do nothing.
Anger made me blind, so I couldn't see many beautiful things behind this situation.
It's okay if you're still struggling with anything you're facing now, take your time.. there will be a time for goodness..
Hi Mike sorry I haven’t been to your blog sooner to curate the ladies of hive community. I hope that the new job and the wedding will happen soon and that the rules for the pandemic wil be lifted
Hi, That's okay... Thank you for your support 😍
