Greetings dear readers, today I give life and love to my blog with one of the many proposals of @galenkp, for this weekend, where I review an uncommon dynamic for me, but from which I took a nice satisfaction despite the convulsive times that push us to seek alternatives for well-being.
You can stay at home with a small group of friends, have a barbecue, eat snacks and play board games or go clubbing. Which one do you choose and why?
This weekend I wanted to stay at home as usual, creating content for my blog or resting in my little bed, since I had a very eventful week, but I was presented with a nice invitation to share and enjoy another air. It turns out that my brother number three had his birthday on November 28th, and he wanted to have a get-together at his house this weekend to celebrate his life.
He was out of Venezuela for 4 years and when he returned in 2022, together with his wife, with much effort they managed to find a very nice apartment for rent in a wooded area of the city of Caracas. My brother had invited me many times to visit his home, but due to multiple commitments I had not been able to go, therefore, at this time due to his birthday, I felt it was appropriate to go to see his home to entertain him.
So I was filled with enthusiasm along with my siblings, my niece and my mother and we went to visit him. The journey was very cumbersome, since the road up to the urbanization "La Enchanted" is deteriorated due to lack of lighting and good paving. In spite of this, with the favor of God we arrived at the place, a beautiful and well cared urbanism comprised by several towers, my brother received us very happy and grateful for our presence, asking me to bless his home, with love I did so from my sense desire of well-being for him and his wife.
I confess that I am a little Grich when it comes to attending family and friends gatherings, it is not really one of my favorite activities, before these meetings I talk less and listen more, always looking for a moment to focus the meeting on other things that amuse me, such as dancing or singing in a group. This time my family and I shared space with my sister-in-law's family, who had already been eating, drinking and talking for a while, which makes the get-togethers more extensive.
When we arrived the topics were expanded, where despite having a very good semi-professional sound system with lights and music that belongs to my brother, with which you can spend a different time, those present decided to talk, talk and talk.
In my case when there is music and food in a family reunion I am happy and my desire to dance is exalted, luckily my brothers also like it, so I can have dancing partner for a while, inviting others also to join the flavor, but that lasts a short time, because once, they with a few drinks on top gives them to talk more and laugh out loud at their stories, choosing me to flee to enjoy something else to distract me.
I am not really a drinker of alcoholic beverages, rarely to accompany an evening, I accept a drink with a very low alcohol content. Therefore, on this occasion I could not join the club of drinkers and talkers, and less when tempers are heated by political discussions such as the one currently happening in our country.
Due to this effect, the meeting to celebrate the life of my brother became a continuous conversation where two sides were created, the talkative ones and the sleepy ones, in my case I was the character of the vigil and logistical support for the cleaning.
Until dawn arrived, which I was curious to see how the sun woke up in this mountainous area of Caracas, resulting in a beautiful morning show that I enjoyed with my beloved niece with whom during the early morning I had fun moments between dances, games and taking pictures.
Today, Sunday, December 3, 2023, I am late at night, but with a beautiful feeling of joy and tranquility for having been able to visit my little brother's home, whom I saw and felt satisfied and happy with our presence.
