Random Thought

I don't think some people realize how wonderful they are. I met a wonderful woman today where I work. I was so touched by how wonderful she is and the sacrifice that she is making for her children. When I told her "You are a wonderful person" and "It's not everyone that sacrifices themselves like that", she said thank you and mumbled that nobody tells her such things. A part of me (being that I'm so sensitive) got teary and wanted to cry. When I see wonderful people it warms my heart and makes me feel like there is still hope in this world and not everything is bad. I think we tend to focus so much on the negativity and we don't think about the wonderful people and the wonderful opportunities that we are given just by living one more day. And I'm glad that there are people like her in this world who go out there every day and work hard to change the lives of others. I'm really thankful that I got to meet someone like her. I probably won't see her again after I leave this job or she goes back to her birthplace as she plans to do. But since I'm crying as I write this, she already made a difference in my life and that's what counts. I wish her nothing but good and I hope that her children won't be blind and will love and appreciate her, most importantly be thankful. I just wanted to add on, I'm also blessed with a wonderful mother and she is the reason why we are so hardworking. She is the best example of what a real woman should be. I love her.

Los cerebros que se van y el corazon que se queda

El ensayo: “Los cerebros que se van y el corazón que se queda”, de Magali Garcia Rami es magnifico. Me hizo pensar mucho en mí misma porque mi familia inmigró a los Estados Unidos cuando yo apenas tenia 4 años. Lloraba todos los días, extrañando como nadie se imagina a mi país. Especialmente a mi madre que aún seguía allá. A los 22 años que tengo ahora, ya estoy acostumbrada a vivir aquí. Pero no hay día que no piense o hable de mi país y de esa vida cotidiana y tranquila que se vive allá. García Rami menciona en su ensayo que los inmigrantes o cerebros tienden a reunirse hablar de el país que tratan de no añorar y esa es la realidad.               Cada vez que viajo a la Republica me toma unas semanas adaptarme. Ya adaptada, no quisiera regresar a esta país al menos que no sea de visita. Las reuniones entres vecinos, la confianza, y ese precioso mar que nos rodea, me convierte en una persona tranquila y en una persona ...

I Let Go

 When I commit to something, I like to see it through.  I work hard to see it through.   I ignore the signs and I keep pushing even when there's nothing worth fighting for. This year though, I am learning to let go of everything; I mean people, I mean situations, feelings, and anything that doesn't serve me. And I grieve all of this but in a healthy way.  I allow time to be my friend. I give myself words of encouragement. I give my body, food, vitamins, and exercise. I give my brain meditation and therapy. I read. I cry, I talk to my sister, and my friends. I Let Go. It's the best thing I could've done for myself. At the end of the day, is it really worth forcing something that's not meant to be for you?

A Lost Story #NationalNovelWritingMonth2024

 I watched a love story, a telenovela, many years ago.  I was maybe between the ages of 5-7 when they played it on TV. Something about that telenovela has lived forever in my mind. I thought that maybe with technology advancing we could see the story again. After years of waiting, I found the director (I love the power of the internet) and he gave me the terrible news that...unfortunately, the story was lost forever.  I may not be able to watch it again, but I would like to write it down in my own words. This is my project for the rest of 2024 and part of NANO WRIMO 2024. What are you writing about for the month of November?
