My family and I went to the small Christmas event presented by my husband’s workplace. In the small park, there were several vendors selling holiday gifts, ornaments, and some snacks. They even had a small ice skate link. We could not try the ice skate, because the very tiny link was already occupied by some families with small children. We instead went for a small hill for hiking. We enjoyed the nice view from the top of the hill and our small hiking.

In the evening at 6 p.m., I had an appointment with my husband’s cousin to chat via Zoom, but she didn’t show up. Later on, she sent a sincere apology. She said she completely lost tracking time while she and her mom were busy shopping for holiday season. I told her not to worry, and we decided to reschedule our get together after the hectic busy holiday season. I am looking forward to getting to know her.

In the night at 8 p.m., I chatted with my lifelong friend via LINE. The conversation with her was beneficial for me. I really appreciate her friendship. During I had a tough time in my 20s and 30s, I had lost contact with lots of my close friends. Because I was not happy with my situation, I could not fully be happy for my friends’ happiness such as their marriages and baby births. At that time, I constantly compare myself with others and felt myself as the most miserable person. Now I fully understand that I don’t need to compare myself with others. I can compare the current myself with the past myself. As long as I have improved than the past, I am satisfied. I would like to cherish the friendship with my life-long friend.
