It's been a difficult year. However, I believe that we have plenty of reasons to be grateful. Every time I wake up, I am thankful because I am still alive. I am still given the chance to brighten someone's day. I can still fix some mistakes. Yes, it sounds sappy. I wake up each day with plenty of tasks in my head--like in an RPG game--and I am lucky if I can complete half of them. This pandemic has taught me not to be too hard on myself. I am managing this, I am surviving, and I can still help others. That's a blessing.

Since the kids are studying at home, we have more family time. They have more time to cook. They cook for the whole family three times a week, sometimes more, when my partner and I can't do it. After years of teaching them how to cook, I am glad to notice that their dishes have become tastier. This is one of the dishes that they made.
