ASEAN Hive Community Challenge Week#140 🥅Goals For 2025 👨‍💻 | I Am Positive That The Year 2025 Will Be A Rose Colored Glass Journey And Fruitful

Greetings, wonderful #Hiveians and #aseanhive community! It's been a while, but I'm back! 😊 I sincerely hope that everyone is in the pink of health and enjoying their day. I'm relieved that my bout of vertigo is over.

• A Rundown Of 2024 Life's Journey

The year 2024 is a mixture of struggles, pains, and challenges for me and my family. The battles we face are often intense times of weakness, distress, and confusion but God is no less with us during difficulties than at other times. As one article I have read before: "Live life more abundantly — that we might become more fruitful". I have discovered that when I lose that attitude of thanksgiving and gratefulness, I have gone back into the flesh somehow. Acts of selfishness begin to manifest in me. Rather than being content with all things, I begin to find a lack in my life. I also begin to try to fulfill that lack by trying to manipulate circumstances and people to fulfill those needs rather than going to God for them and waiting on Him to supply all my needs according to His riches and glory. Grumbling and fault-finding increase. God has not promised to deliver us from suffering but to make us fruitful in a way that will not destroy us as a person. All of us will pass through valleys of struggles to reach our goal in God.

God is so good! I have achieved my goals (though not all of them yet) because He guided me. He gave me the people that will help me with my craft. He is my stronghold at all times. I gather my strength from Him. My daughter and grandson are my inspirations. Come high and low waters, I will always be grateful for everything that God has given to me.

• My Goals For 2025

1. I am a silver-haired woman at 62, and I have decided to change my sleeping habits. Having a nap for an hour and a half between noon and 3 pm to relieve stress, look younger, and not age easily (to keep wrinkles away! - hahaha). Instead of three to four hours of sleep, I will follow my doctor's advice to sleep at least eight hours a day so that he will not nag me every time he checks on me. 😊 The best sleeping times, according to him, are between 9 pm and 6 am.
   
2. Resume my meditation, dancing, and swimming as my routine exercise. Meditation, dancing, or a few laps in our neighbour's resort three times a week feels great and helps to lift my spirits. Meditation and dancing every morning after waking up to perk up my day is a good start. Swimming makes me feel purified since no cold water would get in the way of a fish out of water. 😘 It gives me a good sensation to be in the water. Walking while enjoying fresh air or simple stretching helps me prevent back pains and leg cramps. Laughing and smiling are healthier than frowning.😊
   
3. Eating more healthy foods like green leafy vegetables and fruits. Salad vegetables are the best, mixing them with vinegar and lemon and avoiding seasoned foods. Drinking more fresh fruit juices like apple carrot or strawberry is more like it than preserving juices in cans. Lessening oils and fats to avoid problems with my lone kidney and acid reflux.
   
4. Crafting more designs for shirts, pants, bags, caps, and more for my hobby of fabric painting. One of my goals is to design and create various floral calligraphy and fresh blossom artwork for picture frame printing and sell them online. As an aging woman, I want to devote my time to something that will benefit my daughter and grandson's schooling while also making me feel valuable.
   
5. Heading back to Davao, my hometown, is an overdue plan due to some unavoidable circumstances, but this year is the best time to realize my plan to have a healthy environment and peaceful living.
   
   I am sure that the goals that I am aiming for this year, 2025, will continuously pour out and overflow.
