...or fat (at least that's how we say it here in DR "lo que no mata engorda"). It's a wonderful and quiet Saturday night, just came home from a party and I thought it would be nice to write a few lines.
I have realized that everything that happens in life is for good. Sometimes we can't know it at the moment, but as Steve Jobs once said "you can't connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards". I came back to Santo Domingo, found a wonderful job...and my life is as I like it to be: full of activities.
Let's go back a few weeks ago when I started looking for a job. I applied to a few before I had a call from one of them. Though I did have the interview, they never called back. I'm not sure if it was because I forgot one of my former supervisor's name and came up with the first one I thought or because my niece suddenly started crying like crazy.
But ok...life goes one, I thought, so I continued my job hunting. And I found one. Very fast. I really can't complain. One Saturday I was working at a clothes store with no hope to get a new job and a week later I was flying to Mexico to get my training on the new position. The company is really cool, and though I work a lot, sometimes at home, I really enjoy what I do.
These days I've been exercising quite a lot. I'm doing Zumba on the weekends and training on weekdays, sometimes at home and sometimes at the park. My energy has increased and I'm very happy (well, I'm usually very happy). It has increased so, that little by little I'm going back to cover all the activities I used to cover, like the blog, working/studying (starting German classes on Monday), going out.....(well, I still don't go out that much, but I'm getting used to live in DR).
One interesting thing that happened recently was a high voltage at home and both TV and Radio were damaged, between other things. Since then we spend the weekends aftenoon in family playing board games, specially Rummy. So, as you can see "no hay mal que por bien no venga".
This week I learn something very important about life. On Tuesday we celebrated my mom's birthday and also, my cousin Ofelia gave birth a beautiful girl. So that night we quite good reasons to celebrate. On the other hand, that same day, one of my colleagues had to face the death of his grandmother. It seemed to me very curious that while one celebrate life, other have to struggle the loss of a dear one. What did I learn? Life is really short and time goes by really fast. There is no time to loose so is very important to live as much as you can, we have to "sacar el jugo a cada día" (do as much as you can in a day).
Well my friends, that's it for now. I hope your lives are as well as mine. Remember that everyday is a new opportunity to create, to get closer of those things we want in life. Have a nice week everyone!
