Don't look back, move forward! Today the month begins and we start with new goals. Before I write down the goals I plan to accomplish in September, first I want to give thanks. I thank God for every breath I take every day, every wake up and every night I have peace. I thank the two months on read.cash. To my dear sister @gertu13 , for her support and constant enthusiasm, her insistence to continue on this wonderful platform, despite all the difficulties I still have. Thank…
May a Bolt of Lightning Split Me in Two We have had a lot of rain in the last few days. And last night's rain was lightning and thunder. Lightning rain. From the window of my room, the sky is illuminated and I watch for a moment the lightning splitting in two at every instant. I like to watch the sky. I do it from my bed, every night before going to sleep, I watch the sky and make my prayer of gratitude to God. It is relaxing when it is starry. When you can see the stars.…
The world in miniature, a whole landscaping. In these times where we have to stay at home, we have to develop some passion in order not to go into total madness. I have a passion inherited from my mother. And it is the love for plants. And in times of pandemic I have dedicated more time to them. They have given me peace of mind and a job at home. Because thanks to them, I am at home in good mental health. To be honest, I have many years of dedication to plants. I give them…
Daniel and the Rubik's Revenge. Daniel is a guest of our house. He will spend a month of vacation here, sharing with us. It is not the first time he stays here. He has done it before, but for a short time, when he has to hand in school activities he comes for a few days, and my son guides him to get them done. Especially in English homework. He finished his first year of high school with very good grades, so since he is preparing himself in some activities to successfully…
Closing a Door and Opening New Paths. This is a true story... Last Saturday, I was comforting a friend who was telling me very sad, that she got her divorce decree. She did not want to get divorced. She tried many times to reconcile, but her partner was willing to separate. Four years went by, until she herself finally started the legal divorce proceedings to close the cycle once and for all. A divorce is never easy. But if there is no other way out, you have to close the…
Pilgrimage through Barinas Today I am going to tell you about the 6 residences where I have had to live since my arrival in Barinas state, Venezuela. I arrived in Barinas in July 2010, for a work matter. And since that year to date, I have had to move 6 times, I hope that the Sixth will be the last one! Let me tell you: Residence Number 1 (Hotel Alto Barinas): My first month in Barinas was in a hotel. The company that hired me to work in Barinas reserved my payment for a…
An Angel from Heaven here on Earth. Before I begin to develop my post today, I want to thank that I woke up with a new sponsor, who joins my great team of sponsors who support me. This is @carolinacardoza, my friend of "blessed and creative hands". If you have read her posts you already know why she named her that. Thanks to all my sponsors and to all the people who stop to read what I write. I do it with love and respect for you. Writing in reas.cash is an honor for me.…
Harvesting Fruits on Dry Land. Those who have followed my posts know that the house where I live is not my own, that is, it is rented. I pay monthly rent. I will be five years living here in December. So today I will tell you about the yard. The backyard of the house has no perimeter walls. It has no walls built to keep out strangers, that is, animals and people. The soil in the backyard was dry and sandy. It had only brush and weeds that covered its entire length. Since I…
Celebrating my Forties... Five Times! I believe that every stage of life has its charm. Each year is marked by a happy or sad event in life, which will always remind us of it. Looking back on my birthday celebrations, I don't remember many. There are a few that come to my mind that left their mark on me. For example, when I was a child, my birthday was celebrated with another child who also had the same date as mine and whose parents were my parents' best friends. A few days…
When I met the Chinak-Meru Falls. Have you ever in your life been provoked to get out of your routine, but not with a simple activity, but with your own adventure, to go to a place where the memory of that moment will last a lifetime. Well, I did it. It was the month of August, but not in 2021. It has been 8 years ago, but it is one of those memories that you never forget. I was going through a very difficult time in my life. Of tribulation and sadness. But one morning, one…
My Desire to Fly in Paragliding When I was a child, one of the family trips I remember was when my father would take us to El Morro Hill, in Lecheria. I remember he would take us all in his car and drive to Cerro El Morro. It was not far from home, about 20 minutes. At that time I was terrified just thinking about going to El Morro. Going to that place made me nervous. I didn't enjoy at all when my father drove his car and went up the hill. Turning around as if the hill was…
Allergy to Chemical Odors. I love being in nature, breathing fresh air, away from those smells that with time one can avoid. For many years certain chemical odors have caused symptoms in my person, even on two occasions I have had to go to a hospital emergency. After those health events, after a medical evaluation, I was diagnosed with allergic rhinitis, caused by some chemical products. When I am exposed to the smell of some chemicals, my nose starts to itch instantly, with…
I Welcome my son @RDMoy to the read.cash commnuty. He has a lot os interesting things to tell, I recommend you all to follow his posts. From now, Welcome!
And... I had to Push the Car! Since September 15 I had to go for the second dose of the covid 19 vaccine. My daughter-in-law's mother came yesterday, Friday 17th, for us. Everything went very fast this second time, the queue flowed so fast that we spent less than an hour. The injection didn't even hurt. We were given instructions on how to take care of ourselves after the vaccination, and among the recommendations was to rest without physical effort for at least two days and…
Travel with your return ticket. For a long time, people have been using the Internet to find a friendship and maintain a long-distance love relationship with a person. Years ago, a recently divorced colleague of mine signed up on one of these dating sites. Soon after, she made contact with a man who lived in France. They liked each other, fell in love. He came to our country Venezuela for a month and after they spent the month getting to know each other, they both went to…
The Versatile Venezuelan Arepas. People say that in Venezuela when a child is born, he or she comes with an arepa under his/her arm. It is a popular saying that refers to the popularity of the arepa as a Venezuelan food. It is consumed all over the country. To comment on the arepa I have to tell the readers of read.cash, who are from distant lands and have no idea, I apologize if I am wrong, what the arepa is. I will give you a brief description of the Venezuelan's daily…
Jaspe, God's jewel in the Gran Sabana. I remember that when we arrived that night, we were all tired from the long trip we had made since early in the morning, to see the fullness of the Gran Sabana jungle and to see the Chinak-Meru waterfall. All of us who were on the tour, at that time, went straight to our rooms in the hotel where we were staying, in the city of Santa Elena de Uairen. I remind you that I did the tour in August 2013. If you want to read my experience when…
Let's Change the Way We Live Our Lives. Many people have remained under a mental pattern that they are not going to change their life, in certain negative behaviors, which damage their interpersonal relationships. I especially hear this a lot with couples in conflict. They maintain their position of not changing, at least one of them says: "you knew me like this", have you heard it before? Reflecting on this topic of mental patterns, I can tell you that those mental patterns…
Do I know Myself? There are people who don't know how to live. Ok, I put it another way, it is not enough to breathe, you also have to know how to live. But are we aware of the way we live our lives so that we can assume 100% of our responsibility to live? Not all people are aware of how they are living their life. They go through life just breathing. I know people I have stopped seeing for years and when we meet again it is as if only one day has passed since I last saw…
Everyone Builds their Own Crises Today I am going to tell you a story, it can be taken from real facts or it can be a product of the imagination. It follows: *Ana lives in a beautiful country house. A humble and hard-working woman. A single mother of a son who is studying economics at the university in the city. As a means of producing income, she tries her hand at making homemade jams from the fruit she buys at the village market. And she begins to promote her jam among her…
The Anchoring of Rejection Yesterday I did some activities at home. Taking advantage of a bright sun, I put clothes in the washing machine. And then I hung it out on the patio. I noticed that my passion fruit plants are drying out. Most of their leaves have fallen off. I think the passion fruit plants are closing their life cycle. I thought their life cycle was longer, they are barely a year and a few months old. After hanging the clothes in the sun, I did some reading on…
They will lift you up in their hands When I received the sad news of my father's passing, I was 17 hours away from where my family was reunited with my father. I could not go by plane. I decided to travel by road, if I traveled by bus it would be about 17 hours, if there were no problems on the roads, or 9 hours if I hired an executive cab service. I received the news in the early afternoon. Already that day I could not leave by bus because they only leave in the mornings…
Eliminating Zeros.. Only one day left to say goodbye to September. In a few hours, we enter the last quarter of the year 2021. Always thinking about time. We love to remember past times and envision the future. In the present time, we live with those thoughts. In my remote past time in July, when I started writing in reas.cash, I proposed to investigate the dynamics of the platform, with the guidance of my sister @gertu13 I understood that I had to draw a routine for…
