Little Moments

Episode 2




Having a dog is hard work so imagine what it's like to have two.
It just happens that September of 2014, I was home with two dogs and they were driving me absolutely crazy. I had two puppies running around growling since 5 Am and chewing everything they saw in sight (particularly the boy).
And so, John comes downstairs and he told me a story about cheese. 
I keep that block of cheese in the freezer and it lasts me a long time. Now, Albert brings me another block of cheese and now I have two blocks of cheese/
Oh, how much we laughed!
I felt overwhelmed with two dogs and he was overwhelmed about two blocks of cheese. See, he didn't like throwing away food and the block of cheese Albert had bought for him would soon expire. What to do with so much cheese?
I had a magnificent idea!
We loved lasagna and as a matter of fact t was John's favorite food. John worked on the cheese and I worked on the beef and later that night a delicious lasagna was ready in the oven. I invited a few friends over and we had a great meal.

Now that John is gone, I look back and I think about little moments like this. It really meant a lot to have him around. This dinner was on September 11 just a few days before he past away.

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?
