The story that never came Everything we fear so far is what we have learned in life from both triumphs and failures. I dare say that we learn more from failures because they force us to keep on learning to start all over again. On many occasions we are wrong when we dare to insinuate that someone's triumph is just because they were lucky... but have we stopped to see what their path to success has been like? I have known many people who have spent a lifetime struggling…

Slavery in the mind. Today I am writing to you because I believe that there are people who think that I go through life smiling and singing all the time because I am happy or at least I feel that I am. No, I am a common woman of those that you see every day in the streets, but when I speak you can tell the difference, because wherever I go without knowing anyone, I say good morning, and I smile at them. Because if I need something from somewhere I ask for permission and when…

The garden I went out to take pictures of my garden of some plants that are growing very well. Once again a squash plant has hatched. It has done so in the spot where I have my little 2-year-old land tortoise, Tromkin. There my pumpkin plant was born and the tortoise was feeding on the small leaves but there came a time when the leaves overtook in quantity and managed to spread a lot. Now there are enough flowers and the little pumpkins are growing. My old spinach plant…

A memory, a life. When I am close to death I feel such a strange sensation in my mind. Why is it that when someone dies I see myself in that reality? Because life is ethereal we don't live forever but that's how I feel almost all the time as if I am going to live forever and then I have to open my eyes and see that there is another reality different from the one I am living now. There is death all around me. Friends die, neighbors die, family members die, and even my pets…

If we want to, we can Sometimes we are not satisfied with the life we have because we think that the life of others is better. We see the smiles of others, we see how they walk through life and because we do not know what their true reality is, we dare to think that they are very lucky and we are not. Sometimes by not being grateful for the things we have we end up losing everything, by daring to leave our life with the little and try to reach something that is far from…

To study yes or no? In some places, I have read writings where people say that it is not necessary to study because, in the long run, it does not bring them the certainty that they will be successful people. I want to give my personal opinion without wanting to belittle other people's thoughts, I just want to say or express my feelings about it. When I became aware that I was studying to educate myself and not others, I was already 15 years old. Just at that time, I decided…

A happy birthday My niece had a birthday on Saturday, her 12th birthday. She was very happy, either because of the presents she had or because of the outfit her mom gave her of an anime actor. The truth is that she was extremely happy and her joy was contagious. Those bulging eyes and that happy smile are not very often seen in her and I wanted to capture in my photos this beautiful memory of her happiness that was also a little bit mine. She is the daughter of my niece,…

Zinnias are blooming I would like to have this flower in my garden again but I have not planted it. I like the varied flowers, having to wake up and see through the window that the flowers are open and giving me their many colors. The Zinnias Elegans as its scientific name also receive as popular name paper flower or mystic rose. The Zinnias are plants of Mexican origin but are distributed in tropical or warm climate zones. They are perennial plants whose flowers remain…

Ginger plant. This plant belongs to the Zingiberaceae family. Its scientific name is Zingiber Officinalis. It has a time for its harvest. It obtained its rhizome, which is not the root that is well known in all culinary arts. In Asian food, it is never missing in the dishes. And in my kitchen, it is not missing either. This spice together with turmeric makes an infallible duo in my dishes. Ginger as a rhizome is widely used in meat dishes, marinades, sauces, cookies, and…

The storm of my torment. My dear readers, it is a pleasure to be here again after 4 days of absence. I tell you that in my country the season of hurricane winds and tropical storms has arrived. Last Tuesday there was a storm that surprised us all because it was not reported by the disaster media, but it happened that it did not stay for long but for about an hour between the strong breeze and the rain. Ah but the thing did not stay there and the damage occurred in the…

Do you think evil has an ugly face and horns? I have been reading in the last few days stories about very evil people. I also read a comment from someone who says that you should be wary of people who say they are very happy in their families and that everything is going well. Many of them have been found to have personality disorders and are psychopaths. I immediately thought of myself and said to myself, God, but I always affirm that things should not be taken to death,…

The disease of greed Greed is a vile feeling. In some people, it is a pathology. Some people can present it and they do not realize the harm they are doing to themselves. Do you remember the character in the story of the man who gave nothing to his family, had no friends, and did not pay his employees a fair wage? Yes, I am talking about the famous Ebenezer Scrooge. I also know that there have been many variants of the movie that try to highlight the great flaw of these…

The evil continues Continuing with the evil, there are several movies in the cinema where it is shown how people affected by great contamination by companies have fought to the death for having been infected. The big companies, the multi-million dollar ones, have so much money that they have the luxury of sending out studies to verify that they are the pollutants of water for the use of entire populations, and after having discovered the total responsibility of the fact they…

Words have weight Many of us are quite sure what it means when we say that the "word has power" and I am not referring to the biblical content but to the true significance of it. How can it be that a simple word has weight so that it can become a reality? From my point of view, I can tell you that we are made up of pure energy. Our body is made up of millions of atoms that have anions and cations capable of generating the energy of the world. You have not noticed that when…

My son has covid Five days ago he started with difficulty swallowing. This was followed by muscle pain and then continued with fever. On the second day of discomfort, I bought him the treatment for covid. In my country, all respiratory inflammatory processes must be treated in covid patients. Today, Friday, she has been treated for 4 days to improve her most important problem, which is the burning in the pharynx that causes pain when she swallows. So the diet consists of all…

Difficult days. It is very difficult for a person when he is ill to bear mentally that he is limited to external factors to perform daily labors. Every rule has an exception which is the so-called hypochondriac. This is the person who will never be free from illness. Any day you ask him how the person is he will only say a series of symptoms that keep him a slave to his thoughts. In the end, he has no illness but it is his mind that creates all the unimaginable situations to…

Flowers and more flowers With the rains have come to bloom Zephyranthes plants, this is the scientific name of the rain lilies. These flowers come in a variety of pink, yellow, and white. I once had the pink flower in my garden but it has sadly disappeared. This plant lives up to its common name of rain lily because it is when it is soaked by the continuous rains that it makes its triumphant reappearance with its beautiful white petals and its beautiful yellow pistils in the…

An unimaginable world When I ventured into the world of platforms I never imagined that it was not only about writing posts and interacting with other users, it was more than that. As the days went by I realized the underworld that is hidden here. You learn new skills. As I was learning I found a multitude of experiences that I know from other regions, from countries that in my mind I imagined to know, now I know a little more. The experiences that each user publishes serve…
