Saturday, May 8, was a really special and beautiful day: it was my birthday, which was filled with surprises at the end of the afternoon. We all reach a point in life, where we reflect on our walk through this world that God has created for us, here are some of my facts and thoughts:
A special breakfast
On Saturday, I wake up very early, my husband had to leave early in the morning to get gas, because this flexible week, we had to fulfill work and medical commitments, both in Caracas, the capital of my country.
Because it was my birthday, my husband made me my respective coffee and did not allow me to accompany him as most of the times, besides, my dear neighbors Chucho and Cecilia, had extended me an invitation to breakfast; they are from Los Andes, so when the time came, I enjoyed an Andean breakfast: with pizca andina (a delicious light soup), arepitas and cheese, accompanied by a delicious coffee with milk. I enjoyed it very much, especially because they are the closest thing to my family, who by the way live in another city and for reasons that we all know, it was not possible for them to come to my house.
After being with them for a while, I went back home, I wanted to answer several congratulation messages and have some time for myself.
Meditating
I put my phone on charge for a while and I decided to put on some nice music, light an incense and sit on my favorite piece of furniture there, after thanking God for giving me life, I could feel several things:
We did not choose to come into the world, we are a Divine creation and our parents are the most wonderful beings in the universe, because they allowed us to be born; no matter what happened in the process of life. I only wish that wherever they are, they are well, healthy and that they lack nothing; and if God allows us to meet again at some point, let's heal the wounds in the most loving and patient way, without mentioning the mistakes of the past: clean slate and new account.
It often happens that the true friends we meet throughout our lives, have different categories and historical moments, but what we cannot deny, is that regardless of the distance, they all have a special place in my heart; sometimes we will not talk every moment, but I know that we also share joys, sorrows and glories; we will always be together.
Whoever wants to be in your life, simply is; sometimes, not everything is rosy, you can always find small inconveniences or mistakes in the people around you; you can always find someone who criticizes your way of being, living or acting, pretending that we should change our way of being. Unfortunately, those differences can cause deeper distancing from people that you may really care about, but that you cannot accept because they cause damage to our essence, destabilizing our thoughts and sometimes our health.
Life is a miracle and it is not necessary to wait for a specific date to celebrate it, being happy and grateful allows us to reach goals that we did not even imagine and I am not talking about the material aspect, but about that intangible and imperceptible feeling that we feel when we are in pleasant company or in solitude.
We are the only ones who live with ourselves and it is not necessary to fill ourselves with activities to feel that we have done or acted as it should be, the important thing is that you feel calm and feel the music in you.
We are not perfect, we must admit our faults and channel the way to be better people, but from the conscience, not because they impose it.
The most beautiful surprise
In the evening, my husband had returned, he had been able to fill the gas tank and told me to get ready, we were going to go to a neighbor to buy some candy; we sell soft drinks; I felt the doorbell ring several times, as I did not hear anything else, I thought they had gone to buy and that was it.
After a while, I was ready, I went downstairs and as I didn't see anything different, I was going to the kitchen to get some water, when I crossed to the center of the house, I found the surprise that everyone was hiding at the ends and they gave me a big scare... a very nice scare: I cried with emotion, my faint makeup faded among the drops of happiness that came out of my eyes; I saw my table with two cakes, a quesillo, decorated jelly, flowers, a bottle of wine and a bottle of almond liqueur, among other things; I thanked everyone for the unexpected and spontaneous gesture of love and we prepared to spend a different, happy time, full of friendship and harmony.
