The reason I’ve been gone from blogging. I’m recovering from a joint knee replacement surgery on my right knee. The recovery has been hard and painful, however, at the end of the road the results will be great for me. I will try to keep reading a few blogs, hoping I can restart writing in my blog.

For the first time in my life, I went to a meditation session. I was nervous I didn’t know what to expect. I felt relaxed after the session. I’m interested in keep going.

“A negative mind will never give you a positive life”. – Anonymous
This is a nice prompt and perfect for Mother’s Day weekend.
I remember in Puerto Rico my mother would have phrases that sometimes didn’t make any sense; however, they were powerful. Funny thing at the I didn’t understand it until I started using it on my kids. My mother has to deal with six kids, she uses those phrases to keep us in shape. She would say “don’t make me get up”, that was the warning.
Also, my mother uses the famous chancla (flip flops). She would throw that chancla to us and never miss. She was an expert.
-A few of her phrases I still remember:
-I’m telling you for your own good
-Put on some VapoRub
-When you have your own children, you will remember me.
-I don’t care about the rest; I care about you.
-My house is not a hotel or a restaurant
-While you live in this house…
-When I give you permission?
-This hurts me more than it hurts you
-And if your friend throws themselves out of the window so, would you?
-Because I said so!
Funny phrases coming from this Puerto Rican family. I miss you, mami.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there.

Two weeks ago, I was flying to Puerto Rico on vacation. It was my mother-in-law’s birthday she was turning 80. For her birthday party, she wants as her gift all her children. It was an emotional event and fun seeing the family together. I was needing to get out of my routine and take a break.
Meanwhile, I was in Puerto Rico having a good time a snowstorm hit North Dakota with 30 inches of snow. The schools and businesses closed for two days. By the time we were back some of the streets were cleared up. My son has to shovel a small trail so we can get into the house.
It took my husband the entire week to clear up the driveway. After all that work, it’s snowing again and expecting 6 inches for the weekend. It’s cold and windy and hoping by tomorrow afternoon the snow has stopped. My husband would be shoveling snow again.
I’m ready for summer.
One of my favorite memories was playing jumping rope with my friends. Is one of my favorite games. I was great except when we had to jump faster. Every Saturday afternoon we would be outside playing until dinner time. The memories of my childhood bring me joy.
These days are a little different. In my neighborhood, it’s rare to watch any kid playing outside. The children these days spend more time in their computer games or watching TV.
As soon our weather begins warming up, I’ll take my grandkids outside and play. That will give them a break from the TV or computer games. I can’t jump rope anymore, however; the memories of all of us playing outside are precious.
