Hello everyone,
As you can see I am still working from home but getting fully dressed nonetheless. Obviously most of you also know that this green is my favorite color so not surprising I am wearing it yet again.
I am trying to always see the positive side in things this year so that it can be a little easier to live on. However, there are still bad things happening. Last week, in the midst of all that was going on in the country I received an email that reminded me once again that I am a Latina immigrant to this country and that some white Americans will always make sure to remind me of that and I just have to get used to living with prejudice since I chose to live here. I am not writing all this because I want pity from anyone. I am saying this to make people aware of what goes on because it is easy to think that these things only happen on TV.
Here comes my positive takes on the last few days… Yesterday we were without power for 24 hours, my positive take was that I was happy it was a sunny day so that the house was illuminated and not dark. Another positive from the last few days is that something I was expecting arrived a few days early which made me happy. The positive I could take from the situation I mentioned above is that it is always good to know where the people around you stand as far as those issues go, so now I know better and will protect myself. That is a positive thing too.
I think if we look for the positive side of things, we can always find something that makes us smile. I know it is hard to do this on those dark days in our lives but it is my New Year’s resolution. So far so good!!!
Thank you for reading,
