"Each Day I Am Thankful For nights that turned into mornings, friends that turned into family, dreams that turned into reality, likes that turned into love and SCIENTISTS AND LAB TECHS working to discover cures."

We are mailing everyone so you can feel a bit more connected, rather than isolated right now. When you think about all that's happening, please remember to be grateful for those on the front lines of this war who work tirelessly for the benefit for mankind.

Today, be sure to #ThankAScientist

Our Something Extra for today is an article about Holding Onto Hope by Ding Chui Yee. Though written years ago, the essence and message is still so relevant today.

This is a personal story I'd like to share on your site. I hope it inspires others to be strong in times of difficulty.

I was desperate to find my way out of my current stifling situation; desperate to leave, drop everything I'm doing, pack my bags and never come back again. My state of mind then was perhaps the worst it's been. I was beyond being angry with myself because I couldn't blame other people, things or whatever happened, couldn't possibly assume it was anybody's fault even except my own. I was helpless and I hate feeling helpless, not that I think anybody would enjoy being that poor little kitty stranded in the monsoon drain.

I was that poor little kitty. Fresh out of U, graduated with a degree. Within the first year of joining the work force, I broke down depressed. The job was not what I wanted to do and I took the offer out of desperation because I wasn't able to find an entry-level journalist position.

Recently I started to go on interviews again, but the situation hasn't changed. I wondered what was wrong. Maybe it's me. Then I started doubting myself, my ability to write, and I build upon this assumption that I wouldn't be able to do anything for a living besides writing. My life is devastated, my hopes of becoming an aspiring writer dashed into scattering dust.

So what happens next? Keep reading :
