It took me a long time, maybe too long to choose my silver name for this silver community, but here it is, I have decided to call myself Silver Orchid although the name is similar to the award given to some singers in the Villa del Mar festival, it was the one I liked and that's it.
At the moment, it is difficult for me to take the afternoon tea to chat on the discord channel, since the situation of power rationing in the city is random with total ignorance of how long the service will be suspended, so I have decided to make the most of the time when I have the much-appreciated service to write.
In the first year of the rationing that was as severe as these I was not in Barquisimeto, so for me this experience was alien, I only knew about them through the news or when I talked to my sisters, but now I have to live it in first person, however I have learned that there is very little I can control, so I am ready to enjoy what I have in the present. As I mention in the post the pauses of life.
Sometimes I go for walks around the city so I don't stay locked up in the cave, I also try to distract my mind since it takes advantage of the moments in which I have a lot of free time to start sending me every thought that mother of mine... it is better to take it for a walk to observe the new things that are around me.
Free time is what we have plenty of for those of us who are enjoying our indefinite vacations, that's what I decided to call this stage of my retirement, then I take advantage of enjoying activities that before I did not have much chance to do because of the multiple occupations I had in the past.
Although I am still very active the difference is that I look for activities that I enjoy, that bring me new knowledge such as writing blogs, besides pleasing me, I am getting the benefit of learning every day in this blockchain community and despite sometimes feeling overwhelmed by so much new information to which I am exposed that I find it difficult to assimilate, but I know it is a process and as any process is a step at a time, at that pace I am moving.
