It's Just Another New Years Eve...

For those of you who are spending New Year's Eve alone at home,




"Don't look so sad, it's not so bad you know.
It's just another night, that's all it is,
It's not the first, it's not the worst you know,
We've come through all the rest, we'll get through this.

We've made mistakes, but we've made good friends too.
Remember all the nights we spent with them?
And all our plans, who says they can't come true?
Tonight's another chance to start again.

It's just another New Year's Eve,
Another night like all the rest.
It's just another New Year's Eve,
Let's make it the best.
It's just another New Year's Eve,
It's just another Auld Lang Syne,
But when we're through this New Year
You'll see, WE'LL be just fine.

We're not alone, we've got the world you know.
And it won't let us down, just wait and see.
And we'll grow old, but think how wise we'll grow.
There's more you know, it's only New Year's Eve. 

It's just another New Year's Eve,
Another night like all the rest.
It's just another New Year's Eve,
Let's make it the best.
It's just another New Year's Eve,
It's just another Auld Lang Syne,
But when we're through this New Year
You'll see, WE'LL be just fine.

Happy New Year everyone, I'm rooting for you ;)

Re-inventing my life every day...

I was asked to translate my last post so for those of you who requested it here it is with a few minor changes...

Every morning when I wake up after doing various things that have become a lovely routine like sharing some ‘mates’ and ‘tostadas con manteca’ which is the way he refers to buttered toast with a great friend of mine and walk my little Dieguito, I begin to review and feel an enormous sense of gratitude for what I accomplished, created, lived, experienced, learned, taught, helped, asked for help, won, lost, gave and received the day before, making sure that way that all my efforts to live a full day weren’t in vain, and then I proceed to re-invent my day again. 

Taking responsibility for my own happiness and not wanting to stagnate is not a simple task, since it requires motivation, discipline, mental, emotional and physical work constantly, while trying to maintain at all costs a balanced life.

We are beginning a “New Era” so much has been said about this for so many years, speculations about what will happen, but in reality none of us knows what awaits us until it actually happens, I made so many plans and speculations of what I would be doing on this day and reality was very different. I decided to go at the last moment to a relatively remote area surrounded by nature where there is a Geyser that spits out  intensely hot water with a huge amount of minerals  that have relaxing and curative properties.

What will happen to me next year, or in a decade? How could I possibly know that if I don’t know what I will be doing in the next ten minutes.

The 21st of December was a very important date for all humanity and I was alone, secluded at a hot mineral water pool resort, ate mexican food, shared some time with strangers who became friends, watched a movie on my computer, wrote and read a bit and then the 22nd came along and I was re-inventing my day all over again.

May your days be filled with hope, love, balance and harmony.

Happy New Year 2013 everyone! I'm rooting for y'all! 

Hugs with  x p

Re-inventando mi vida cada día...

Cada mañana cuando me despierto, después de hacer varias cosas que se han convertido en una linda rutina como compartir unos mates y 'tostadas con manteca' como les llama él al pan tostado con mantequilla con un gran amigo y sacar a caminar a mi Dieguito, me pongo a repasar y sentir un enorme agradecimiento por lo que logré crear, vivir, aprender, enseñar, ayudar, pedir ayuda, ganar, perder, dar y recibir el día anterior, asegurando así que todos mis esfuerzos por vivir un día pleno no fueron en vano y después prosigo a re-inventar nuevamente mi día.

El tomar la responsabilidad por mi propia felicidad y el no querer estancarme no es una tarea sencilla, ya que requiere de motivación, disciplina y de trabajo mental, emocional y físico constante, mientras trato de mantener a como de lugar un balance en mi vida.

Estamos a punto de entrar en una 'Nueva Era' por muchos años se ha hablado y especulado acerca de éste día, pero la realidad es que ninguno sabremos que nos espera hasta que suceda, yo hice muchos planes y especulaciones de lo que estaría haciendo y la realidad es muy distinta. Decidí al último momento venirme por unos días a un lugar relativamente remoto rodeado de naturaleza en el que se encuentra un Geiser con aguas con propiedades relajantes y curativas.

Que será de mi el año que entra, o en una década? como saberlo si ni siquiera se lo que haré en 10 mins. como ayer en la noche que decidí levantarme de la cama calientita después de ver una película, ponerme el traje de baño a pesar de que hacía bastante frío e irme a una de las muchas albercas que hay aquí, subí una pequeña colina a una alberca en la que no había estado antes y noté a un grupo de jóvenes, a pesar de que mi deseo era el de estar sola decidí entrar con ellos y después de varias horas de una conversación y una compañía que verdaderamente gocé con esos chicos y a quienes prometí mencionar en mi artículo =) regresé a mi cuarto con la enorme satisfacción de haberlos conocido.

Mañana es una fecha importante para la humanidad, 21 de Diciembre del 2012, y yo estaré en alguna de las albercas con agua calientita, o comiendo algún platillo mexicano, tomandome unos mates o recibiendo un masaje, viendo una película, escribiendo o leyendo y llegará el 22 de Diciembre y nuevamente volveré a re-inventar mi día.

Que sus días estén siempre llenos de enseñanza, aprendizaje, amor, de balance y de armonía.

Felices Fiestas a TODOS!

Un abrazo con amor xoxo
