My beginnings in writing. It seems so unreal to me everything that has been happening for a few years now, I never thought I would like writing so much. I started on another platform for the first time writing about plants and then I did a contest about nature stuff in a community, but I ended it even though the contest was liked by many. And then I got here by recommendation... writing about everything that catches my attention, about my plants that I love so much, also…

I am really impressed with what has happened these days to my publications. I never thought that someone would come and read my previous publications and reward them to such a magnitude. My thanks go to the user @Telesfor. I am in a kind of obnubilation with mixed excitement and surprise. For your rewards I am very flattered and very grateful to you. May God repay you in a thousand ways of abundance what you are doing with me today. This can only happen here at read.cash.…

Junior's family. It was a beautiful house where they lived, its outer walls covered with evergreen ivy. With tall windows, except for those in the attic that were small squares all around the house. The house is a bit distant from the others because they chose it that way. They live in a small town but with very happy people and very well established families who invite everyone who visits to stay. Inside the house is Junior's family of four; his parents Joan and John and…

Company in solitude. For some time I have wanted to share a thought that I am pleased to explain, the fact that we are not alone, neither physically nor spiritually will we ever be alone. There are people who declare that they are alone, that they came alone into the world and that they will leave it alone. You know? I’m convinced that none of these statements are really true. Even when we are born we are not alone. I don't know why anyone would think of saying that they…

My habits. There are habits that we acquire during our lives, either because we were taught them at home or during our daily life. In my childhood life at school and as a teenager in high school I was always criticized by my classmates because they didn’t understand my customs. My parents were Europeans who migrated to this country where I have lived all my life. Here they, my parents, taught us their customs, that is, the customs of the country where they came from. And…

Guilt. Guilt is a feeling that destroys us very deeply, looking for the causes of our defeats in others is not healthy for our organism. Every time we waste our time blaming others instead of introspecting and truly looking for our failures, it’s a mistake that leads to more frustrations and more mistakes, therefore you will continue to blame anyone or anything that you believe was the reason for your failure. There is no such guilt in others, everything is in our best or…

A convenient change. It happened many years ago, back when I was a young adult in my early 20s. I was working as a nurse in a local hospital, I was a children's emergency room nurse and loved my job. I was born to serve and care for others. It was my calling and my passion. It happened one day while I was working my afternoon shift, a colleague's husband came to work and told me that his wife was having health problems, they had recently had a child and her left breast was…

Archimedes, inventor of siege weapons. Archimedes was quite a character in his native Syracuse, where he was born and died long before the time of Christ. Archimedes was of great importance not because he was a great mathematician but because he was the great inventor of many weapons of war that protected Syracuse from invasion by the Romans. He lived on a very prosperous island called Syracuse, with abundant wheat the Romans wanted to have in order to fight the hunger of…

My birthday!!. This coming Saturday is my birthday. My hair is not yet covered with gray but soon it will be. If the gray hairs appear because of the work time we do I should have a full head of gray hair by now. I started working while studying to be a nurse practitioner at the age of 16 and since then I never stopped working. After spending a few years working as a nurse I wanted to continue studying and decided to go to medical school but while I was studying to become a…

Life in peace. Life is simpler than we think and at the same time it’s very easy to complicate it. We live thinking that our way of thinking is the true and the only way and then we allow ourselves to try and control the lives of others with our arguments. Why do we always want to be right to be in peace? Or is it that we just want to be in control? Peace is a feeling that means to be at peace with yourself, without trying to be right in everything you do or say, when we…

The friends of life. Having friends is a gift that cannot be despised. They are the family we want to have, although it’s different to be friends than to be family. The family in which we were born is also a beautiful gift, that’s where many times we don't agree on the arguments and thoughts of each of our siblings, but it so happens that they are our blood and there is a very big bond that unites us, so we end up consenting and accepting their ways of being and their…

Do you know how to forgive? Forgiveness is something you learn. If you think you can't forgive, it's because you simply don't want to. It’s a very strong feeling and it carries a heavy burden. Forgiving doesn’t mean that you forget the person and the offense he/she gave you, it’s about turning the page so that you can heal from the pain caused and at the same time you let go of the frustrating feeling of having the pain caused by the offense and the offender. You won’t be…

The meditations of Marcus Aurelius or the Word of God. Marcus Aurelius was one of the Roman emperors with more transcendence for the fact that he left a book where he wrote day by day about his thoughts in how to live better. With his writings he tried to teach those who in the future could read about his life the proper way to live in a better life. Reading about the written words of Marcus Aurelius I can only accept his meditations in the way that every day we encounter…

Are you a grateful person? The path to a life of complete happiness does not exist, because life is full of many moments of different emotional intensity and it all depends on how we focus on walking our path. Living life being grateful for what you have is a happy way to live. When we go through life doing good without expecting anything in return we travel a happy path. First we do the good we want to do and secondly, when we do good we must expect that this good returns…

Respect. Respecting other people does not mean that I agree with a person's way of being, expressing or living. What respect means to me is that I can see or hear them and give them the attention they deserve, without showing my authority or wanting to modify their way of being because they think, feel, say or show characteristics that are different from mine. Are we different? Yes, we are all different in many ways. We have different ways of looking at life, we have…

A different day. He left home as he did every day, bringing home bread was a daily chore. Tim was the oldest of five siblings. He used to roam the forest every day in search of fruit, hunting or fishing and after spending a good part of the morning picking fruits and berries he decided to spend some time by the pond and do some fishing, after all his activities fishing, besides being an art he liked to practice, were also very good to bring some food home. After picking the…

My big surprise. I was walking alone, it was a sad afternoon, at least that's how it felt to me. Seeing the dry leaves of the trees fall to the ground after the breeze whips them several times in the air made me feel my loneliness even more, they fall because of the breeze and I fall because of my feeling of loneliness. I don't understand why today I feel as if life is hitting me, really life is giving me a lot of blows today. I left the office early, after the news I was…

Some thoughts to share. I remember when I was young and started driving and I always got lost on the roads, but instead of making me angry that made me excited. I used to pass the warnings of how close I was to a town or a street. As time went by, it became a habit for me. I would drive for many hours and for many kilometers, alone in my car and I loved to do it because my mind would get lost in a world of infinite thoughts. That's why I always lost track of the road and the…

The fight between my inner child and my adult self. Just because you walk with thieves doesn't mean you are one of them. Just because you talk to people who are rude and have bad habits doesn't mean you are rude or have bad habits. I don't understand why it is customary to label people by the way you look at them. We have very bad habits and jump to conclusions about people very quickly. Sometimes it’s better to keep the idea you have about a person to yourself until you are…

Tolerance and envy. We learn by listening to what people have to say, sometimes we tend to think that people can't teach us anything because we consider them to have a low level of culture or because we consider them to have very little knowledge of the subject. But compared to *what* do we think that person can't teach us? Wouldn't it be better to listen to what they tell us and then try to understand? Two things can happen, the first thing that can happen is that we…

The song of an angel. Have you ever heard an angel sing? I believe I have. According to what I have read, some angels sing in a sound that is not appreciated by man, it’s so involved in the musical tones and there their voice is hidden, appreciated only by God. But the sound I’ll tell you about today is that of a singer who does get noticed by all who listen to him. His impressive voice does not go unnoticed by anyone who hears him for the first time. I had a long time…
