general.


I also happen to be happy when I see my dogs well. They’re both a little old and have had grave sicknesses. One, the girl, is taking medication because of a problem, maybe on the spine, that interferes with walking, but in general both her and the little white male (who almost died because of stone in the ureter at around the pandemic) are today good, and I’m grateful seeing them in this state. And I suffer when they suffer.

The hot weather is also more comfortable for them, so, even though we are having too much hot weeks here in Curitiba [Brazil], it’s a soft, nice, weather.

Generally I take a cup of coffee on the early morning. Sometimes I give a little run, or go cycling to my duties, without coffee and even without bread. Only then, hours later, I take the coffee and maybe eat something, hours after awake. The exercise, the bath with nothing on the stomach, and, oh, the coffee after (specially the espresso, or american, my current favourite, espresso with hot water), does good, it’s a good feeling outside of the routine.

I learned to like to share things. I like to share what I judge important. As much as I appreciate doing that, they feel as a burden; an account, or a published content, are like something I’m constantly carrying, that may condemn what I come to be, or may create expectations on others that I can’t fulfil, or are “me in the world”, in a manner that I feel so unsecure. So I feel good, and safe, in erasing everything under my control some time after having created an account or published something.

I feel well, and it makes me happy, to have a night of sleep in which I don’t wake up more than once. If I wake up early spontaneously, and rested, better yet, good sensation, makes me happy.

To be true, when I spend the first time on the morning reading the Bible, with prayer, even when I’m not keen on doing that, man, my head and my body end up being marvellous. Martin Luther, the one of the reform, is said to having said: “I have so much to do that I will spend the first three hours praying”.

A piece of opinion, unasked, if you’re constantly doing something you think it’s too easy, you may not be doing it right, or you’re not doing the right thing. Let’s see what’s wrong and do the right thing.

One last thing that makes me happy is when my swimming pool is clean. It’s been for years now. As with the other facts, it’s good by itself, yeah, but has more meaning as I had many dirty problems with its water, to the point that the neighbours called sanitary authorities. I don’t want to have any more problems in this area, or in any other area of living, but I know now, and have to guide my heart to feel accordingly to what I know, that any problems that arise are to result in my good and good to other people and other living creatures too. So the difficulties, even the hardest ones, can be faced with peace, because I know the future, and being in a bad state will not help in hiking up and overcoming whatever there is here now or right ahead.

Our posture, our internal condition in doing something, counts much together with the external things, visible or invisible, that we do.

I thank you for listening [reading]. Bye.
