I Miss the Gym. I am doing much better from the painful tooth extraction. As you may remember, those of you who have followed me in my last posts, last Friday when I went to the dentist's office for the extraction, the anesthesia did not have the desired effect and the tooth was extracted with a lot of pain by the doctor. If you want to know what happened that day you can read "a scream of terror" movie. https://read.cash/@rodriguezpct/a-scream-of-terror-919553ce Now I am…
I Connect with Real Life. There was a time when I worked in two universities where I had to have two cell phones. I had a cell phone number that was exclusively for students and the other number was private, only family and very close friends had it, although over time I also gave it as references in banks and other government agencies. And I still keep that same number. Why two cell phone numbers? I had the need for privacy, to get away from undergraduate and graduate…
Academic Avatar. One of the stages of my life that I remember with great emotion, because they were moments of teaching and learning for me, were my moments lived as a university professor in the chair of the research methodology and as a jury in the defense of undergraduate papers to qualify for a university degree. At that time I interacted with many students, both undergraduate and graduate. In the article, **I Connect with Real Life.** I had told you something about that…
A Habit that Seems Crazy. When we see a person talking to himself, it seems strange to us, we even think that this person might have a mental disorder, because talking to himself has always been associated with being crazy. But if you think about it, even we, who do not have any mental disorder, have sometimes talked to ourselves when we believe that no one is watching us. The act of talking to oneself, or private speech is a type of talking called by psychologists as…
It is True Joy. If I were given the choice of which basic emotional state I would like to be in every moment of my life I would choose to be always joyful without hesitation. In fact, most of the day I am cheerful, although I have not yet mastered being cheerful when I am very hot or when I am very hungry... hahaha. When I go to a meeting I make my friends laugh with my jocularity, so being always cheerful has helped me to socialize and have better receptivity and contact…
Live your Emotions. If you are the type of person who constantly complains about everything that happens in your day to day life, for things that are beyond our control, that even if we disagree we cannot change, if you are one of those people who complain about the traffic when driving your car, you complain about the rain, the heat or any other circumstance that occurs in your life and those circumstances only keep you stressed, in a bad mood, well, today I thought of you…
Happy Frog Day. One of my favorite activities or hobbies are plants, but as I have neglected them lately I feel guilty because many of them have dried up due to the sunny days we have spent these months, poor plants. Yesterday afternoon, after an exhortation from my son regarding my plants, I decided to take up again the decoration of pots with plants and activate again my creativity with them. One of the things I have to keep in mind when I am checking the plants in my yard…
I Jump with Excitement when I See You. It really catches my attention to see pictures of decorated cakes. Although I don't know anything about cake decorating I detail them when I look at them. I admire people who have that ability to make the decoration so accurate to reality, with the smallest details. I like to see the cakes that are to celebrate marriages, birthdays and especially those that have details with flowers. It has become popular to make cakes personalized to…
Decorating with Cacti and Succulents, Another Way of Landscaping. I have several days dedicating time to my plants. If the poor things could talk they would be shouting. "Finally, you had us in oblivion". Besides removing the weeds I took the opportunity to do damage control of the many plants I had, since many of the cacti and succulents, due to my carelessness, dried out. Today I could not continue removing the remaining weeds because of a rainy weather that prevented me…
Mother of Thousands Today I am going to tell you about one of my favorite plants to make my arrangements. It is the versatile succulent called mother of thousands, or bad mother. Its scientific name is **Kalanchoe Laetivirens**. It is native to southern Madagascar. When I saw it for the first time five years ago it was in Barcelona, Anzoátegui state, Venezuela, in the nursery that my sister gertu13 has there at home. besides being sisters, we also have in common the passion…
