Hello dear community of #Family-Friends, I hope that everyone has had a great end of the year surrounded by the warmth and love of their family and friends, although my children were not present at our table, niece and the third of my brothers, We know they are fine and we set out to celebrate this last day of the year.

*This day I woke up very early, at 4:00 a.m. I was already washing my dirty clothes, to receive the year with clean clothes, advancing the cleaning of the patio, since I had an appointment with my mother to go to the mass at the end of year in the church where my mother attends, since Father Juan would perform a healing mass, release and anointing oil so we would walk out of there refreshed 🙌🏽🙏🏽

The homily was very consistent with the word, I also received my message, because although the year that we are going to receive is another, new, if we do not change our bad deeds and continue acting without correcting what is wrong with us as a person, We will repeat centuries and we will not see change, that to see positive changes we have to change our mentality, when this is harmful to us.

At the end of the mass I met an old co-worker, my friend José, with whom I have not lost contact, they have been friends for 13 years now, he was with his wife and they are an example of a couple to follow, I really appreciate them a lot . From there I went home to roast the pig that my mother had previously given me, since we have direct gas and in Venezuela the gas supply problem is still present, I am not sharing photos of this because I completely forgot. since it was after 7:00 pm my brother was looking for me since at that time there was no transportation and our houses were withdrawn.

When the women of the house arrived, they were still getting ready, so I took a photo with my nephew and sister Carolina, she hadn't gotten ready yet either, but she was presentable, she had three costume changes, the rich and their stuff 😅😂

Although we do not have all the foods that always accompany us at the end of the year, due to budgetary situation, we thank God that this year we did not lack our typical dish, hallacas, chicken salad, roast pork, lentils and yellow rice that my mom likes to do, to attract prosperity and wealth, In the absence of ham bread, I touch peasant bread, and the fruit basket was summed up to the bananas of no harvest and a few guavas that my sister Katiusca bought, and although I felt a little melancholy when I saw the table with little, afterwards I was grateful for what that we have, since I know that in many houses in Venezuela they do not have this, so the regrets are unnecessary.

After eating, I went to rest in my mom's room and I confess that fatigue overcame me and I fell asleep until 15 minutes before 12:00am,I brushed my hair, fixed my hair, painted my lips and went out to take some pictures and we got ready to listen to the announcement on television that it was already a new year, which was so noisy on the block that we later realized that it was time to receive the new year.

After receiving the year, hugging my mother, sisters, brother, my niece and nephew, the closest neighbors, I communicated through messages with my partner @alinares to wish him a happy new year and to ask him how our dog daughter was doing because of the sounds of the fireworks and I also wrote to my children, where I received answers from everyone, although my youngest son did not write to me, my name is 😍

I was able to show in a photo that I send my love that our furry children were somewhat scared by the sounds of the fireworks, which I am very sorry, since this is the only thing that I do not enjoy this season and now that I know how this affects them to them, less.

Then we went to the house of my mother Gladys, my mother's older sister, since she lives several blocks away, to give us a New Year's hug and share a moment with her, there we took advantage of updating the New Year's photo.

We went to the house where I prepared to rest, since the first day of the month would begin as the last, in the presence of God,At 9:00a.m. we arrived at the church to be present at the rosary, and at 10:00 a.m. at the mass which they visualize a large amount of white clothing, since the Father summoned that this would be the color that we would use now It was the mass of peace, which ended almost at 12:00 pm, from there I accompanied my mother to her house.

After taking my belongings, I got ready to go home, to finally be with my love, I tell you that there was no transportation and I had to walk quite a few kilometers, but it helped me to do a kind of meditation on everything I want to do in this new year and what positive changes I want to give to my personality and character, To achieve a better environment and a better coexistence, when I got home they were waiting for me to have lunch.

I conclude by understanding that we can change the year, but if we do not change our bad habits, we will continue repeating centuries, that having a family is one of our greatest wealth, and that we must be grateful for everything we have, be it a little or a lot, we always have to be grateful, just as I appreciate your company and support for my publication. God bless you greatly and this 2023 fill us with great wisdom. 🤗🙌🏽🙏🏽💖
