Rekoleksi

Sekian lama gak rekoleksi, retret, atau menarik diri sejenak dari kesibukan - sadar gak sadar bikin aku terjebak dalam rutinitas, segala aktivitas - terutama pekerjaan, tanpa pernah memaknainya lebih dalam.

Kemaren aku rekoleksi, diajak teman yang kerja di Permata Bank. I found something missing. Kesempatan buat berefleksi, melihat benang merah dari kejadian sehari2 yang aku alami, dan mencoba melihat kehendak Dia terhadap hidupku itu apa seh.

Segala protesku terhadap Tuhan selama ini - makin parah setahun belakangan actually - pelan2 mendapatkan jawabannya. It's not an instant event - bukan pencerahan yang aku dapat tiba2 waktu rekoleksi kemaren. It's a long process for more than 1 years.

Pengalaman gagal, ditolak, gak diinginkan, tentu menyakitkan buat tiap orang. For me, it is really ruined me inside. Proses buat menyembuhkannya, really takes a long time. Starting with losing a person that means a lot to me, denial with the facts that he'd rather be with someone else than me, my rejection to continue being friends with him, my rejection to accept his apologize, getting along as friends with him again, ahhh ... a lot lah ....

Till it comes to a point that I can not do anything but accept it. Trying to move on, meet somebody else, hanging around with my friends ... It is pretty hard, but finally I can make it, although - still - I don't understand with it's all about.
Just trying to believe that there must be some reason behind ...

Kemaren, Romo pembimbingnya dengan cantik memaparkan sebuah perikop dari Kitab Suci. I am not a prayer, yet not a bible reader :) ... Tapi pemaparannya 'mempesonakan' huehehe ... bahasanya. And again, it helped me to see ... that from the worst thing, something good could come :)

Thanksgiving 2020

What a crazy ride we have been riding in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has pretty much put our life on hold, if not going on a slower pace. I feel that we are running a marathon, and it's not over yet. 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 :) ?
