The real danger of having a birthday is not that we run out of time, but that we run out of the desire to discover what more life can offer us.
Sometimes what we need is not to change, to give up work, to change partners. or to completely turn our existence around. Sometimes what we need is to meet again with that person who, among so many responsibilities, was leaving his own passions for later.
Get yourself a lover!, a co-worker once told me, and no, don't get all worked up about it, that I'm not promoting infidelity. I'm talking about something that many people have stopped doing for years: falling in love with our own life, and the funny thing is that that "after” can turn into twenty or thirty years without us realizing
Personally, I can tell you that reading is like a good lover.
For a long time we got used to being necessary for others. But we rarely ask ourselves what we need to feel alive. I think one of the most wonderful gifts of having a birthday is discovering that we can still be surprised by ourselves. That we have not exhausted our curiosity, our talents, or our ability to fall in love with life. And that after a certain age in the third age, not everything has to have a purpose, produce money, benefit the family or serve for something.We also have the right to do things simply because they make us happy.
So, my dear passionate readers, let's look for a passion that awakens the desire to get up in the morning, that takes us out of the routine and reminds us that we still have a lot to discover.
And if the husband or wife gets jealous, invite them to participate. Who can stop the two of them ending, just as it has happened to me and my husband, discovering a shared passion! to have the nervous system regulated.
When I understood that family is also chosen I felt happier. The bonds are not only biological, family are also those with whom we build love, because there are bonds that are not inherited, they are built.
To many these dates for thanksgiving, Christmas, new year, which are approaching, confront our day to day with a harmony and joy that was obligatory, something like we should all be tucked into a corset, in which we all think and feel the same always, when as I always say if there is any constant in Life, it is Change. Therefore, it is better to decide with whom and how to spend these days that in our Hispanic American culture is what predominates.
And even if it is the predominant thing, there are always those who do not believe the same thing that we believe in, who are atheists, agnostics, and people who do not even wonder what they believe or not, simply the flock goes one way and let's go!!! we're all going there. There are dark nights, but there is also sunrise, and there are moments of Undefeated Sunshine. And with all the differences in thinking, feeling and ways of living, I wish YOU ALL the best for your lives, that you are very happy and that you are brave to face difficulties with Faith and Determination.
