Let’s face it; I might never blog
every week, so here I go… This MONTH:
Something awkward:
Sitting with people you do not know. (Quite
challenging to break the ice… it’s like a speed
dating!)
Something
embarrassing:
The
food may not always be fantastic. (brrrr.. fish again? _)
Something
stupid;
I
spent a LOT of time to put on my makeup. Such a waste of time cause I lately look
totally overdressed. Keep thinking is time to go all natural. (That would save
more time, effort and electricity… nahhh “antes muerta que sencilla”!)
Something
Happy:
Hot
chocolate! Yum!
Something
useful:
Do leg lifts to strengthen
your stomach, which, in turn, supports your lower back
Something
I was reminded of:
Self-awareness
leads to self-control
Something
true:
Sometimes
not getting what you want is the best thing for you
Something cool:

One day you are 19 and you are planning for some day, without any idea of how life will come along. Someday is today. Today you are looking at her blue blue eyes, staring at you, just connecting, talking through her sight. She smiles. That cute smile that makes something on your inside move. For a moment she forgets her surroundings and she drags herself to the nearest chair grabbing the seat, she tries to pull herself up. She finally, after much effort, stands up and realizes she is standing up by herself! She smiles but suddenly tips backwards and hits the floor. She cries, looking for you to comfort her. A minute later she is sitting on your lap and decides to try again, and again, and again.
I actually probably never planned for this day. But this day is today. Today I admire how many times she tried. It is something so common, yet today I observed and admired her. Babies don’t quit. They keep trying. That’s how they learn. It amused me the thirst of discovering, of experiencing. Today I understood a little bit more about God's love. Today I understood the miracle life is. One day there’s nothing and the next there’s someone, depending on you, someone growing, thinking, and feeling. Today for the first time since she was born I got mad at her after she slapped the food from my hands. Yet today I feel a little wiser, a little happier. Today I love her and admire her a little more.
