hello.

is this really me talking? I have no idea where I am going with this. I just know I have to start somewhere. Instead of wasting time figuring out that perfect topic to start with... I'm simply going to start with hello.


Soo here is goes again...

hello.

Strange on how I'm not sure which direction to go. I have so many different topics to talk about and yet i cannot bring myself to narrow it down to a generalized idea.
I am a mother.
I am a wife.
I am a daughter.
I am a granddaughter.
I am a sister.
I am a friend.
I am what I am.... and then some.....
I am ME.....with a shot of coquito.



Coquito is an eggnog-like alcoholic beverage that is traditionally served in Puerto Rico. Coquito is made with rum, eggs, coconut milk, coconut cream, sweet condensed milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. The drink is commonly associated with the Christmas holidays, where it is traditionally served along other holiday food.


Now... you prob wanna know why I put this here...... Its a tribute to my Spanish heritage. I live the American Life and little bits and pieces of Spanish culture pop up here and there. Its part of me. My upbringing. My family and my culture. So this is why I have this as the title of my blog. Kept popping up and stuck in my head... so here it is. ( yes for those alnon'ers... I know..I know.....BUT its who I am... so I ain't worried.)


I learned this past summer.... "one day at at time". This quote should apply to everything in life. Every goal and dream we have..... should begin with "one day at a time" I like quotes. I live for them. They pop up in the oddest places at the oddest times. I get inspiration from quotes. You will see lots of quotes in my blogs. Its a thing of mine. Get used to it. Its my mantra lately.... I see if everywhere!.......

I could go into a lengthy explanation of myself and who I am...but I don't want to. Not tonight. I guess I will do it bit by bit. Its easier and more fun and I'm in no rush.... nor should you be. I don't know who I am entirely... I have a generalized idea. I have 34 years of information so far....yet I'm not done. I have more to discover. More to learn and more to teach. I have a journey in front of me. I'm looking forward to it. At the present moment yes..... Some days I don't feel much like getting outta bed....but I have to .... the world keeps moving whether I get up or not.......so I may as well get going with it and make life interesting along the way.

Like I said earlier... I like quotes... and I also like poems, songs and sayings. Things pop up every so often that will set off a train of thoughts.... and my thoughts sure do take off with them. Some days them make sense .....some days they don't. That's fine with me. We're not supposed to understand everything that happens in life... some things are far beyond our understanding....yet I agree to let it go and enjoy it. Somehow. I hope you'll come along for the ride. I never know where we're going....but as long as we're going forward..... we should be a'ight.
