The promised story. On a day like yesterday my son turns 21 years old. At 8:45 a.m. on the morning of July 31, my son was born in the operating room of a clinic in my city during 2000. When my obstetrician took him out of my uterus the baby did not want to cry. The anesthesia had made him very depressed. I was about to turn 40 years old and my termination of pregnancy was by surgical method. After a short period of time, which at the time didn’t seem so short, and with some…
Are they guests or residents? I have three pets at home, two cats and a tortoise, I think I have told you about them before. They are my son's pets but they know who provides their food. My Copito is a large cat with predominantly white fur with yellow as a second color. On one side of his body he is totally white and on the other side he has a big yellow heart, his tail and head are yellow. He is an 8 years old cat but he looks older. He has too many scars on his face and…
A complex personality. Human beings are very complex beings, we say some things and then we may not do what our lips say. It’s like when we are upset in a relationship, we say no to the questions we are asked or we just say "no or yes" according to the moment to generate more pressure. When we are upset, we always say what we don't want to say, because at that moment we seek to hurt the other person. But it happens that when we think about it better, we manage to hurt…
Hello to all my friends who read me. This user is my sister, @rodriguezpct. Like many in my country she also has a lot of problems with her internet connection. She is trying to integrate into our great read.cash family. Please welcome her. She has very good content in her posts, you can see her last post here: https://read.cash/@rodriguezpct/earthquakes-at-home-ee16c919 Thank you all very much! (I had some errors on the last post so I had to delete it in order to fix it,…
A sincere friend? It occurs to me to talk about friendship since we are in an environment where we know many people. Some know each other from before entering this site and others know each other from here but have already formed strong bonds. Others are very friendly and become friends with everyone. Some of us even like to use the word friend, and it's not wrong to do so, it's just that there are many types of friends. In psychology you can find definitions for the word…
Loneliness. Who has never felt lonely? I really don't know where I will get to while writing this post but I assure you that I’ll write what is inside my heart. Many years ago I felt loneliness as something sad, I felt trapped inside myself with no one to tell why I was lonely. I was accompanied and yet inside I could not find company to fill that empty feeling. I love being alone, I enjoy being alone, but I also enjoy company. What I mean is that I felt for so many years…
Strange emotional days. Today is a day charged with many emotions, sometimes I wake up with a different outlook on life. It does not mean that on other days I am negative, no, that is not what I am trying to say but that there are days when I feel happier than other days. And today is a day where I feel immensely happy. I was thinking that it must be because yesterday I ate a lot of *arequipe*. I found it delicious, after some months of not eating to my liking as I did…
Memories are food for the soul. As a teenager, and for as long as I can remember since my childhood, I always liked children. When I was about 16 years old I learned that I had a newborn niece and her mother brought her home for us, my mother and siblings, to meet her. It so happened that my older brother had an argument with my father and didn't want to hear from him anymore, so he stopped visiting us for a long time and that's why we didn't meet the baby girl until she…
Do you believe in ghosts? I was told this by a roommate in one of the dorms I lived in when I was in college. It so happened that the girls, my roommates, didn’t stay alone in the apartment. When one of them went out she would tell the others and when the second to last one was left then she would be accompanied by the last one. In short, they never were alone in the apartment. I was the new tenant. They had known each other much longer, several of them were even from the…
A day out of the ordinary. Fellow bloggers today I bring you an account of the day my son and I spent yesterday. I hope you don't get tired of reading it. It so happened that the day before yesterday, in the afternoon, my son received a call to inform him that he had been selected for an online interview. This was due to a job application to which my son sent his resume. Of course, they had already contacted him and gotten their first impressions and their respective online…
A tree from my childhood. Today I greet you my friends and write to you about nature. This plant that I will refer to today was found while I was visiting a friend's house. The cab took to a blind street and had to back up and make a turn in a wider part of this street and as it was doing so I was able to observe the fruits of the plant. Suddenly my mind went back to my childhood and I could identify this fruit, I recognized its name immediately, *Cautaro*. I was able to…
I like the countryside. Yesterday was a very special day, I went to visit my brother with my son. It’s an odyssey to leave my house and go to another place. Yesterday was Sunday. After going out to buy some cat food so as not to leave our pets without any substenance, we had to separate on the way. Cat food is a little hard to get at the nearest supermarkets and we had to walk a very long way to get it. After walking for something like 40 minutes, we found the…
From my consumption of liquor. I have been reading many articles about people who like to consume alcoholic beverages. I can tell you that I was never a lover of alcoholic beverages but then you grow up and end up going to places with friends where everyone consumes alcohol and you end up trying to please your friends. When I was a teenager in my house the only one who could drink liquor was my father. In fact, he would do it on the weekends and he usually came home very…
My virtual walk. I read a story from my friend @jane, it was about a virtual walk. Don't know her? Well, it's time you did. She is a young, beautiful, hardworking and enterprising girl. She is a Filipino national but she is currently in Japan. Her boss has taken her there on an employment contract that is about to expire, or has it already? The truth is that she is preparing to return to her country. It’s a great privilege for me to be invited to such a prestigious trip with…
Continue to travel the country. Hello again my dear fellow readers. Some of you have asked to come on this trip with my friend Jane, my son and me. By the way! Let me tell you that I had a little mistake in the previous post… My dear Jane is in Hong Kong and not in Japan as I pointed out in last time... From time to time my circuits get crossed and I make these kinds of mistakes. All I can ask is that you please forgive me for this one and the ones to come. But now I must…
Healing is from God. On another kind of thought I just remembered that my son, when he was 3 years old, went through a time of discomfort in his body that was unexplainable to medical science. Every day he was irritable, he cried for no reason. He had no fever, he was just hot to the touch, he ate almost no food and drank very little liquid. I was getting more and more worried. My baby's pediatrician was my colleague and friend and I talked to her because my son had been…
A little more is what you need. Not all the time we can do what we would like to do. In some opportunities during our life we want to do things that are difficult to do. At present, and thanks to the confinement due to social distancing, the fact of not being able to do what used to be routine is repeated over and over again. I like the tranquility of my home but sometimes I had strong desires to go out to the countryside, to the beach, to the river, to the mountains, to the…
Do you know the betrayal of a friend? Do you know when to let go of a friendship? I learned a long time ago that friends are the family we choose to be part of our life. This means that we try in every way to make soul friends. It's not that we are in the business of seeing which person next to you has the same ideas as you or shares the same tastes as you. Friendship is not about that. We may be totally different people but a very strong bond is born in us because your way…
Something else to write about. I used to be very busy. I spent my whole day between one job and another and although they really gave me satisfaction, they were occupations after all. I was involved in gardening, baking and writing. All the activities I did I recorded with photos that I then published on a platform and then wrote for the other and so I was in several. Eventually I stopped writing in several and I am dedicated to only two platforms, Steemit and this recent…
The Red Case. I was getting ready to rest and put my phone next to me. I connect to youtube and let the word spread somewhere, but I let it automatically play the next video while I try to fall asleep. I set the volume so that when I fall asleep I don't wake up with the sounds that keep repeating. But this time I could not sleep and I will tell you why... I could hear a story. That is what I am going to tell you now. It so happens that a family of Latinos, a family a little…
I apologize to all my readers. I have two days without internet connection. It has been raining a bit and with thunderstorms. I think that has caused damage to the wifi connections. I am connecting again today. I have posted and look forward to continuing to read your posts. A virtual hug to all of you.
He is here. Dear virtual friends, today I want to tell you one of those stories that make our hearts small thanks to the emotion they cause. There’s a lot of evil in the world but you know what? Evil doesn’t overcome the goodness of the human being. It’s impossible for us to say that we can no longer have faith in man when every day we see and hear heroic acts of God's children. But first let me say to those of you who are coming today to read my post that I am from…
