Tratando de poner mis cosas en orden , recorde que tuve una amiga... Una Amiga de años  que en las buenas y en las malas siempre estubo ahi. Una Amiga a la cual le conte mis alegrias y mis tristezas , mis fuerzas y debilidades en la vida . A pesar que estubo conmigo tantos años sin estarlo , su paso fue muy corto por mi vida. Reimos .... Cuanto nos reimos !!! De las cosas buenas que nos pasaron y de las malas tambien.
Gracias a ella volvi a creer en la a mistad , fue mi ayuda cuando mas la necesite ; fue mi fuerza cuando pense que jamas la volveria  a tener...
Si , esa es mi amiga ... fuerte como un roble , pero fragil como la hoja . Yo con tan solo decir que algo me hacia falta y ella sin pensarlo estaba ahi , buscando la manera para poderme resolver mi problema sin poder ; brindandome siempre su apoyo. Aunque yo pense que me podia entender , no fue asi. Aunque supe que la soledad era mala amiga y mala compañera ; no se lo adverti. Ella... Mi Amiga ; se dio cuenta sola... Ella vio que de tantos amigos que tenia , no tenia ninguno y fui yo quien pague. Ella sin pensar y sin querer , ya hoy no es mi Amiga.
Ella ; Mi Amiga ; algun dia entendera que la menos que debio pagar fui yo . Que aunque la Cenicienta solo exista en un cuento de Hadas ; ella se equivoco... Yo no pude entender , que tener prioridades en la vida , afectaria a los demas.
-Pero si... Un dia tuve una amiga , una Amiga a la cual siempre extrañare y le deseo lo mejor. Yo se que ella sabe que se equivoco , pero como en la vida tu eres esclavo de lo que dices y dueño de lo que callas ; lamentablemente hablo sin el corazon. Ella se dara cuenta ; mi amistad hacia ella fue siempre sincera , sin esconderle nada ; jamas hubiera sacado provecho de ella y de nuestra bonita amistad ; con el tiempo lo vera.
Ay de quienes dicen que un amigo es un peso en el bolsillo  ; en cambio ella jamas lo fue...


Mucha suerte en tu camino ; siempre mis buenos pensamientos para ti . Gracias le doy a Dios por haberte puesto en mi camino y por haber sido una gran Amiga . Gracias por hacerme recordar en tu ausencia de que esa amiga a la cual una vez tuve y la llame Mi Amiga ... Fuistes Tu.

From My Backyard

The Caterpillars ... eating the tree

Today I was in the yard of my house ; I had big desires to enjoy the sun ; it was so wonderful today , after it has been raining all week. To my surprise, I noticed that my favorite tree had been invaded by caterpillars and worst of all ... had eaten must of the leafs and the beautiful white flowers. I began to think and understand that those caterpillars with dark colors and bright yellows details, which later will be converted into beautiful butterflies needs to eat and to be prepared to next step in their life. The tree leafs' will grow again and the caterpillars will become free butterflies. 
This reminded me , that is just like in life as I compared them like the colon cancer that my mother suffers from that today and throughout this recovery process, thanks to chemotherapy. To my understanding the cancer is so, once it arrives is like eating you ; goes on and on until you realize that something is wrong in your body or the Doctor gives you the awfull news. This is why I compares the cancer with them , and the caterpillars have already been fought and the beautifull butterflies have taken a big step in life. They later fly aimlessly and are free in life ...

This is a Beautifull Orchid

This is the way My Mother feels today ... free , with increasing difficulty that gives the chemoterapy , but rather positive because this process soon be over. Perhaps , they don't have nothing in common (caterpillar & cancer) but , I do it in a symbolic way. She had her chemoterapy today and is the number five and are 12 in total. She is strong, and today came with a little discomfort, but she said that she feels blessed, because the chemoterapy has given her a big hungry and I take it as fairly positive.




The caterpillars can be like that I think , a cancer that is eating you inside, but the butterflies, make me think that this is how is this cancer in my Mother ;in process of change to make her free! Not to make her life difficult during this difficult process ; Is the way to let her live 60 years more.
Mother I love you and thank you for the gift that you give me everyday of having you next to me.

The Benefit To Please A Guest

Here... thinking in my corner, I began to remember good things about being a waitress and the good things about  working in a restaurant. But like everything ... has its pros and cons ... The Pros are more than cons, and I love to be working with customers and the hospitality industry ; that is the factor to be helpful or to please a guest. The Cons ... for me , everything is fine until we reached the tip ... this is just my opinion, I think that tipping is a kind of appreciation which the client gives to the waiter for having served satisfactorily. Consider the 15% ... is only a starting point, a bad service would be deducted on the way to zero if necessary, while the excellent service of high quality can be always higher.

To me good service should be rewarded and poor service should be punished. This always involves the Manager, Assistant Manager and Coach of the waiters, which is responsible to train them. But I always wondered: Why do you want to work in the service industry if you don't like to serve the guests? I really do not know. They are those who want to be waiters and complain when they have tables or do not want to attend and to top it complain that they don't receive the 15% tip or more. I really do not know, are people who can not provide excellent service and are always complaining ... It feels so good when you give a high quality service to your customer, and every time that they visit your workplace they will still ask you.

The 15% gratuity is and has become a sort of cultural tradition, that's not everybody follow, either because it's more money that has to leave to the restaurant or because they never worked in the service industry which can not recognize the work of a waiter to satisfying all your customer needs before serving. I always give the benefit of the doubt to the waiter, if food is not satisfactory or if it is, but their service is good, at least get 15%. Sometimes the waiter thinks, from their point of view: that a tip should be mandatory "But where would the service if this be so? Will miss the excellent service and high service if tipping is compulsory? It's a very difficult question to answer, because those who beneficial were the waiter and not the restaurant.

Finally, the most important thing to see and make me happy was always to see my client that always asking for me to serve them and it always made me feel great! The tip, while important, is the least confident thing that the waiter have to worry when the service is always excellent. As a waiter in the food & beverage industry , you always have to think positive, not for selling or sell them because it is most expensive on the menu, but always listen to your client. Please him always, because at the end , you are the one who's going receive a good reward ...

A New Beginning in My Life

Today I wanted to start my day in a different way ... I cut my hair after 7 years of not cutting, I feel free, new and willing to keep cutting. I thought it would hurt to do it, but it was not so, I did it myself and I have no regrets.
Everyone at some point in our life need a change, but often not dare to do, not by fear but fail. But through all these years of triumphs and failures in my life, I am not afraid to take the first step. Many new things arise when you take the first step and that's what happened to me ... I'm new!
Although I lack many things, but this year is just beginning, my list is long. It is sad that every time we end a year, we defer to think of all those resolutions that you did and not accomplish ... is a question of believing. I know...It's hard, maybe I'm not the best example, but this year Will Be! Finally, New Year .... New Life!

If I see You Again...

Today I woke with a desire to learn, eager to understand ... To live without you, miss you not more in my absence ...

Even if you forget and you no longer want to see, even strange yesterday, although I do not want to have ... A thousand words are what you would say, but only I will tell ... I do not want to see you again ...

Another year passed without see you again... but you think you can even tell me ... and while I die here in the spring, summer, in autumn or winter ... You will not know I exist, to live no more inside of you ...

Think that you passed around here, brings me back to you, without you in my life without you in my sleep ... I saw you from my dreams without ever suffer for you ... dreaming that I loved you ... dreaming that one day I will have you again ...

Living Happy ... But Lonely ...

Yeah… Happy but Lonely … when you stay with someone for many years , this is what happen next . You need to understand to be alone , love yourself and learn to be only with yourself. Happiness…I never meet that Guy ; I only met problems . Many years of understanding why a person can say I love you , but never loyal to you. You say faithfull and he is thinking to be unfaithfull … Always alone waiting for a word , but the word never came up , but the loneliness always there.


I learned that you can’t be happy until you accept yourself in the lonliness ; no matter what , no matter how many years ; you need to love yourself first .

A Memory Left In Oblivion...

Remember, forgotten memories ... What happened? I still do not know. You smell ... Where is it? ... These are things that happened and never return. How I forgot, if I only offered him my love? Why did not I think if I went the most important thing in your life? ... Sad bitterness Where does? ... If, today left me in oblivion.

I remember more, no happiness and you think about it ... Who made you forget who taught you to dream? ... They're just illusions that gladden the heart are bypassed love, without going into the reason ... Could it be that you lack love? No ... my mind remembers the love, but yours recoincide in the illusion of new love ...

I can say you forgot, you do not remember any more ... The heart does not lie, it knows the truth. Conscience betrays and hurts the feelings with reason. In contrast, the heart helps to remember with love ...

See? Today you can not remember, I remember you hand every moment, every minute, every second ... Time changes, but as usual, but instead you changed it, leaving all they had in you ... My memories, I thought were unforgettable for you, but it was so dead inside you, so leave me, sinking into oblivion ... ..
