What activity will you participate in this "Surprise" weekend?
9 comments
Greetings dear readers today I give life and love to my blog with a recent anecdote, as we say in Venezuela, "fresh out of the oven" and it is just what punctually invites us to respond @galenkp in his WE187, then I pleasantly make my post a nice end of the week account.
Well, improvisations or invitations from one day to another sometimes paralyze me, because I am a bit planned, therefore, it is what I am not used to, but nevertheless when I need to let go and flow with the surprises that life offers me as I feel right now, I open my arms to receive.
That's why on Friday afternoon I surprisingly received an invitation from my friend @miriannalis to go to the beach again, which I immediately accepted, I really did not expect to go out this weekend, to focus on the return to work and receive the children at school with new year and new planning of the 2nd moment, which I did not manage to capture, but I will still go with some ideas up my sleeve.
I also accepted the invitation to get out of the routine and breathe new air, and thus dissipate a series of toxic situations and personal commitments that in recent days had me a little tense, so I accepted. At first I thought it was a round trip, but the trip turned into an adventure tourism since my friend wanted to go to beaches farther away from the usual ones and if it was possible to stay it would be the most convenient because of the distance.
The day before my friend had contacted an inn where she was not given security for lodging because it was high season and it was very difficult to find a room, but there was still the motivation of wanting to walk and see other beaches. So, I organized a mini luggage, I gathered some money, I asked my friend if she would allow me to take my beloved niece, because of the availability in her vehicle, she gladly agreed, and with the permission of her parents I had the chance to pamper her a lot, feel her closer and give her my blessing, since I had not seen her for days.
On our way, my friend received the notification that they had vacated a room... Congratulations! her dream of knowing another place and another beach in her vacation time came true. My niece and I were happy to share the trip with my friend's other baby and another beautiful woman @aguamiel who also accepted to join us in this adventure, in which we shared expenses, making between all of us a package of very simple provisions for the overnight stay and food for the time we spent in that wonderful place called "La Sabana", a small picturesque town 3 hours away from Caracas where time seems to stop for its tranquility and tropical landscape between beaches and mountains, I fell in love with it and wanted to accept another invitation like this one.
Upon arrival we stayed in the beautiful house where the owners had already been contacted for the rental of a room, there we left our belongings, to go for a walk and not miss the beach and its surroundings during the day.
In the evening after dinner I was invited to play dominoes, this being a board game that had always seemed boring to me, but this time when I went up and after several explanations I surprisingly started to get the hang of it and I was able to win some games without much understanding it even though I was given some guidance, it was really very funny this episode of the tour.
It was definitely a surprising walk, but renewing and above all affective because I shared with my niece, and with three wonderful women, each one with a different personality that nourished me with their stories and wisdom. It also activated my gentilicio or ancestral sense, because connecting with the air of this town and its warm people, gave me more reasons to continue honoring and valuing my roots and customs. More when we were so beautifully guided by @care1869 a common friend of hive who is a native of this town, causally she was at her parents' house and kindly guided us to discover the majesty of its landscapes.
The return was on Saturday afternoon arriving in Caracas late at night, in my case a little exhausted, but with immense joy in my whole being, for all that I could release, clean, letting the sea and the river purify my soul, in that sand I left behind the traces of what I had to release helping me my dear sea to erase what I no longer need to carry.
Today, Sunday, January 7, 2024, I feel renewed and ready to approach my routine with a new impetus and an absolute desire to be and to be in total harmony. May nothing and no one interrupt my state of Grace!
