Good Friday

Jumat Agung kali ini, seperti biasanya aku lewati di Jogja. Tadi pagi aku ikut jalan salib, tumben2an lho ... hehehe ... Ada pengantar yang bagus dari narator ...

"Mengapa lari dari sepi ..."
"Mengapa lari dari sakit hati ... "
"Tuhan juga mengalami nya ... "
"Tapi ia tak lari, tak turun dari salib ... "

Mengapa aku harus lari dari kenyataan bahwa ada rasa sepi dan sakit di hati ini? Aku sudah muak dengan diri ku sendiri, yang meratapi keadaan yang sungguh di luar jangkauanku, sesuatu yang tidak bisa kuubah. Mengapa kamu tidak bersikap positif terhadap hidupmu? Berapa banyak kemurahan Tuhan yang selama ini sudah kamu rasakan ... Iya, aku hidup dengan segala kelimpahan, tapi jarang aku mengucap syukur atas semuanya. Lebih sering aku merasa tidak cukup, dan merasa bahwa Ia tidak pernah mendengar doaku ...

Kalau lagi bisa mikir seperti ini ... hatiku jadi agak tenang ... Everything seems better ... Tapi gimana ya caranya biar selalu tenang dan gak mikir aneh2? Aku belum menemukan jawabannya, tapi aku akan mencoba terus ... buat menjadikan hidupku ini lebih positif dari sebelumnya.

The emotional toll that we have been experiencing since March is real. Everything that we used to take for granted, like meeting up with friends, birthday parties, kids activities, traveling, the convenience of doing grocery shopping anytime we want, a lot of them have been taken away from us, from my family. No more parties, no more lunch or dinner with friends, no more invitation for birthday parties, no more traveling. Perhaps my life had become too easy before the pandemic. We had to switch Nathaniel from a brick and mortar school to a cyber school. I tried to plan my grocery trips ahead of time to avoid crowds. We had to wear masks everywhere. But at least we are healthy. At least I am facing this together with my husband and kids as a family. At least I am at home that is fu...
All of a sudden my thoughts fly to my old friends tonight. How are they all doing? I miss the good old days. I am here, content and happy, but somehow I still miss them. People come and go in your life, but true friends remain in the heart, no matter where they are now, right :) ?
