Excerpts of my life in this city:

Family time
The days are shorter, and the lights of the city brighten our
apartment view. I am making dinner while my kids are playing and drawing in the dinner table. Music is playing in the background. My little boy approach me in the kitchen and ask me to put a song for him.
He puts his slippers on and the music star playing. He starts
dancing in the middle of the living room and asks me to join him.
We have had this beautiful moment a lot of times. Every time seems better than the last one. I dropped everything I was doing and start dancing with him.

It is a song from a movie which has a tap dance portion and that is the reason he is wearing his slippers as they pretend to be tap shoes. My daughter joins us.

Things, people, all appear so different when your mind is free. The seawall seems so different, the ocean’s water, the reflection of the sun into the water, the boats, the birds, the air. Everything seems so new for me. It is like I have never seen them before. It is like the first time in those spots of the city. I smell a different air. I see a different sun

Moments in life makes you realize how fragile you can be. Being strong most if my life from the outside does not mean that you are strong from the inside. You can see yourself in a mirror to see how fragile your soul is. Life has changed a lot lately. One day you realize that some of the things that you have worked for fell apart. Having the feeling of the rain over your head every day is a sensation of sadness. Sometimes it is so wet over your head that those drops of water block your vision. Born to be blue is playing in the back ground. Chet Baker one of the best Jazz musicians of all times. Well at least for me. Blue is the color of sadness. Blue is how you draw drops of water. Having the feeling of rain over your head. Sometimes is so wet that is just impossible look ahead. How can you get so wet in that rain and continue? How can you force yourself to see the sunlight even if is cloudy and rainy?

Hopeful Days

In the kitchen floor a curly woman with a lot of laughs starts her day. She never worked in a professional kitchen before although she loves to cook. When life gives you lemons you squeeze them and create
