The Universe intervenes, Working hard and Christmas wishes

So, here’s the thing – I was supposed to go back to my beloved Mexico for a month before Christmas, when the night before the flight I started to feel unwell as I boarded the plane reluctantly, I was facing the onset of flu – not wanting to be walking across New Mexico being ill – I aborted the trip and then I had 2 weeks of severe flu. Then one week ago my mom wakes up talking in a bizarre manner – I thought she’d slept wrongly but then I noticed her left side of her face was dropping. I immediately rushed her to the local hospital and all I could think of was the advert that said ‘the quicker you react, the more of the person you save.’ The hospital confirmed – it was a stroke. The family were so grateful that I was here to intervene and I can now stay with her and help her. However, I was so sad not to see my friends in Mexico, my heart is heavy when I think of them, I yearn to be in the sun again but cannot deny that if I had not been here it could’ve been fatal.

I now have to work as many hours as possible, I have a job waiting tables in a lovely Italian café, the food is lovely, much better than supply teaching. I have to save money for my future, getting stable and looking forward. Still on course to for my Masters, as well.

I would like to also use December as a time for reflection over the year and I would like to wish everyone who reads my blog the best wishes for a wonderful December.

However, let us celebrate being in the present, that is why it is called the present because it is a gift, don’t regret the past or be anxious about the future but cherish the current moment, the present, a gift to you.

Best
