When I was a new member of this club, I benefitted a lot from the support and advice given by the 'senior members'.Now it is amazing that my role has gradually changed when occasionally I could be the supporter and advisor to young ones here. I feel so happy that I can contribute. To those who are so lucky/unlucky to have joined us, I can assure you that the rainbow after the thunderstorm is really beautiful. To me, the 'new normal' is even better than my old normal. When I first registered on the OCF, I just put reading as my only hobby thinking that I wouldn't have any energy to do other things but recently I have added swimming, hiking and shopping and I plan to include more like going to concerts and movies, etc. Life has never been so colorful and I treasure every moment I spend with my family and friends. Going back to my full time job after 7 months of sick leave has been a wise choice for me and for those who do not plan to work any more, they should pick up the old hobbies or develop new ones. I believe that the more we move, the more energy we generate.
