My Enemy He is not gone yet. He is still among us and has grown stronger as an aggressor. Since he began his invasion he was seen and treated as a bitter enemy. I tried to stay as far away from him as I could. There comes a time when even if we run away from him he knows how to enter our lives. I was vigilant, keeping all the necessary measures to avoid him and so I taught my son and family members. We should not leave home without maintaining a certain minimum of rules to…

Sometimes I become pensive. As the years go by, life becomes different. Things happen in other ways. And if there is an illness involved, we realize that what happens to us is even more arbitrary. When we are young we surround ourselves with so many people we call friends and we have so many family members around us, but then life takes care of sifting through them and leaving only what works for us and what doesn't, is left behind. Having friends is a blessed blessing from…
Evil in real life Evil exists everywhere and it is unusual to see that in real life there are these cases of parents murdering their children and children murdering their parents. I remembered a movie I saw many years ago about a boy who was so evil that he killed his little sister by drowning her in a pool or something like that. Years went by and then he killed animals and no one noticed until a boy came along who was his cousin. He had been orphaned and the aunt wanted to…
Getting lost in nature. People throughout history have proven to be resilient. To have great survival power of their own, alone or in groups. The same I have read of people who have been alone and have fought for their life until they made it and others who have given up and the findings of what they lived through in their last hours have shown what they went through. I read about a lady over 65 who wanted to go hiking. She took one trail and her husband took another. After…
Shopping This morning I went shopping with my son after spending almost a month without going out due to the evil virus that attacked us. The first thing I saw was a fridge that looks very nice but costs 1500$ so I looked at it and passed by, then I looked at this Mabe washing machine. It is automatic and its price is almost half that of a refrigerator. It costs about $600. On my birthday I had asked for a dry fryer and today I was looking at various prices and found them to…
Visiting the beaches At present, I am a bit withdrawn from visiting the outdoors. I can go out to my garden and inhale the fragrance that plants, flowers, and fruits give me but beyond going to another space it is risky because I am still in isolation. I have always been a strong woman who is strengthened by adversity. I feel neither hopeless nor lacking God in my mind nor in my heart but not being able to go out to see the beauties of the places near my home makes me evoke…
My spoiled cats Greetings to all cat friends. My kitties don't look happy, I don't know why they are so spoiled with my son and me. They know how to make us listen to them and rule us. Look how my Copito is, he is the oldest cat. Although he has been through so many adversities he is a fighter cat and he imposes his will on what he wants. And my Meme, these eyes are not round. He is upset about something and I don't know why. When he is happy he follows me everywhere with…
Feeling lonely or being alone I read a post about being alone in the world and how it would be our way of acting. I really felt a sense of hopelessness knowing that I could be alone in the world. The truth is that I can never imagine being alone in the world. Trying to think about that without living it is very difficult. We never know how we will react to a situation without living it. We can imagine many things but when we are facing the situation itself, that is another…
Character and temperament Every day we learn new things, for me it is a pleasure to read certain articles that lead me to reflect on what I have thought about a point so far. Today I want to share with those who are willing to read my publication, it is something about character and temperament. According to what I have heard, they are two different things that I have been handling all my life as badly as many others have done. It is then that I went to find out about the…
Don't let your left hand know. These days I am watching some videos that bring me certain questions. Money is indispensable in life to cover our needs but the point is when we become greedy and want to get money through any ruse. In some videos that I have seen, I realize that people get followers to invent many lies. They make believe that they are family-loving people, pet-loving people, people-loving people, and many other things. I have seen many videos where people…
Do you like to fix your bed? What is the first thing you do in the morning when you get up? I go straight to the bathroom, then go back to my room, make my bed and then go to the kitchen to make a tasty coffee. It's been a habit for many years now, making my bed is something I can't help but do before I start my day. And IF for some circumstance in my life, I can't make my bed, rest assured I feel bad. I can stop making my bed when I have a bad spine, I suffer from low back…
I forget What can happen after the death of the human body? Many people have studied this aspect and each scholar gives his version of it. There is a medium that claims to talk to people who have died. Many claims that death does not exist because we are transformed into other evolutionary species. They are the ones who believe in reincarnation. So we go around the world and the studies continue, the proofs of the existence of life after life. There are those of us who read…
Strengthen your body. Age is just a number because age does not define us. I still have a youthful mentality but my physical condition has already taken its toll on me because of the abuse of my body over the years. I am obese, I have been obese for most of my life. I have always tried to diet but then I go back to being just as much of a problem with eating. I like to eat and usually what I like is what makes me fat. I like ice cream, pizzas, hamburgers, foods with sauces,…
Life is a constant confrontation The way to withstand the onslaughts that life brings us every day is not to worry about what we cannot control. Over the years I have learned that it is useless to torment ourselves to solve the negative situations that come our way if the solution is not in our hands. Worrying unduly is exhausting for the mind and for the organism. Then we should try to do our best to solve what is in our hands without putting too much effort into trying to…
We live to enjoy Life is the way it is, we don't need to change it for our satisfaction. We do not need to pretend to change it to make us feel better. The same happens with people, sometimes we feel overwhelmed and we want people to change the way they are. What happens with us is that we want to change the world and only the world is the way it is. We don't need to change anything to live in it. What we need is to adapt to all the changes. The beauty of the world is in its…
Speaking of scarcity. "When the poor get poorer." This is the title of the post I read from my friend @Ruffa you can go through and read it and you will have another idea of why I decided to write about this today. I have always thought that poverty comes from oneself, from a mind that cannot create, from someone who can only complain in the face of life situations. Life is hard and you have to fight very hard and constantly to get ahead. If you have in your mind an infinite…
