The Stone that wanted to be a Potato. Part 1 Soon I will be ten months in read.cash, I don't remember very well which was the day I started, but I'm keeping an eye on the date that says in my profile, it still says 9 months. The first few months when I started reading articles, I realized that on the last day of the month and the first day of the following month, most of the articles I read were about achievements. So I started to plan goals and during my first three months,…
The Stone that became a Beautiful Country House. Part 2 Today we got up early and after breakfast I got ready to finish fixing the country stone that I started to paint yesterday and other smaller stones, to give it the resemblance of little birds and red ladybugs. I also had pending the stone that my granddaughter had painted yesterday totally brown, giving it the resemblance of a potato. If you have not yet read the first part of this story I invite you to read the part…
Look what I Do with the Mother-in-Law's Tongue. This weekend I was quite busy. First I attended my granddaughter's weekend visit, then on Sunday, April 3rd, it was my oldest son's birthday. He's 37 years now and it seems like yesterday. Time goes by so fast. Early Sunday morning, I set out to make the cake with my neighbor. She offered to make the cake but at her house, so I spent the morning at my neighbor's house preparing the cake. In the evening we sang "Happy Birthday",…
What to Say to Break the Silence... We have been in front of our computers many times, thinking about what topic to develop in order to publish interesting content. We sit for a while thinking about what to write. At that moment there is silence in our minds. No interesting thought comes to us, or has it only happened to me? I don't know, it's just a thought for everyone. I only know that many call it writer's block. I was in that moment of mental silence, thinking about…
Flexibility: The Key to Successful Planning Sometimes you come across people who are so strict in their planning that they do not accept last-minute changes. They cling so tightly to what they have on the agenda that they get stressed if there is a last minute change, even a small one. I have dealt with this type of personality on many occasions, and this past Saturday is a recent case in point. I had to arm myself with a lot of patience, applying self-control to be able to…
With a Lot of Love and Patience. My first steps as a professional were in special education. They were years of working life that I dedicated my time with commitment and vocation to education. Little by little, as time went by, they turned into a total of 25 years dedicated with heart and care in the special education modality, where I was armed with a lot of patience, tolerance, empathy and love. These are qualities that over time I polished, or rather, transformed my…
Resting is a Good Routine for the Body. I have months of training in a gym near my house, just two blocks away. I don't have to leave the neighborhood or take any transportation. The monthly payment for going from Monday to Friday is very economical, you can pay without generating alterations in the household budget, also attending the gym is something important to me, since I do not consider it an expense but an investment I make for my physical and emotional health. The…
Giving the Gift of a Plant. These last few days the weather in my city has been rainy. On several occasions it rained at dawn, sometimes it is very lazy to leave the house when it rains, and in the afternoon it is something else, the sun is so strong that it seems that it has not rained. The only thing that gives evidence that it rained is the wet soil and the greenness of the plants. We continue to have power outages every day for several hours and repeatedly on the same…
Falling on a wet Floor Hurts. Last Monday was a normal day like any other day, it is normal for the energy to go out for several hours. And Monday was no exception. This time it left at 8 pm and returned at 11 pm. I am now in the habit of unplugging the desktop computer and the refrigerator. In December last year, my refrigerator was damaged and after the refrigeration technician fixed it he recommended that I unplug the refrigerator when the power goes out as a…
