Happy 59th Cumples BB! #FBF @conexionflorida Sept. 2021

From the September 2021 Edition of Conexion this post is a Cumples Copy. 

Hope you enjoy it as much as BB has enjoyed the last 59 years...

 

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

59 and feeling fine! Telling BB’s Angels, it’s not quite her time… Si, another Cumples, and Babushka couldn’t be más feliz. Matter of fact, healthwise, besides the COVID chacha, this is the best shape BB’s been in hace tiempo.  Gracias to Dancing with Diabetes, la dieta is healthier and life, not my food, is sweeter.  Oh si, a wonderful ejemplo how saying Life- JU SO FONII helps you rethink “negatives”. Being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes made la vida more precious and priorities rechoreographed.  Not that Babushka would want any of you to get this preventable disease, pero to stress a point.  “A lo malo, buena cara.”  Wake up points come at any time, many times in our vidas. Age doesn’t stop this , es más, BB would say it becomes more evident the older we get.

We get so many prods, that turn into pushes, that are precious possibilities if we allow them to be.  How many have you gotten Beautifuls? How many have you ignored? That small voice beckoning betterment isn’t yours, lamentablemente the doubt is. The more you follow your corazon’s calling, the more you appreciate la vida, porque the heart knows. And deep down, so do you.

If you speak to people “getting on in years” you’ll find some common threads. There are regrets for things they coulda/shoulda done, chances missed for not following that inner voice. And there are those who have come to the conclusion that life is not for  regrets and are going after that voice, embracing it at any cost. These are the ones that know life is for living, loving life and all it’s posibilidades. Ganando con Las Ganas. This is how BB plans to live the rest of her years. Here’s hoping they’ll be many more, pero si no, she knows the daily dance will be with every cell of her soul. To quote the great musical, The King and I, “Shall we dance?”

Hola Otoño Hello October in @ConexionFlorida

This is the article Babushka wrote for the October edition in  Conexion, the bilingual newspaper in N.Florida , Alabama and Georgia. Hope you follow the above link to the online edition to see all the eventos and wonderful info shared monthly.

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Last month Babushka took a breakesito to celebrate her 57th  cumples. Now, when BB says break, she means from writing here, porque Septiembre definitely was not calm in any sense of the word, except for the acceptance of another year of life. With luck it is inevitable ,with acknowledgement, full of grace. Getting older definitivamente has its’ challenges, pero it has its’ momentous momentos too. “Less being more” becomes a manifesting life lesson, sabiduria en lo sencillo, siempre and in todo.  

Looking for a good description of this, a Twofer was found.

An excerpt from a post, “The Autumn of Our Own Existence”  by Omid Safi -

“As I enter this autumn season — and the autumn of my own existence — I am growing slowly more
comfortable with the becoming less and less, so that more and more can be revealed.

Bring on this Autumn of the soul.

Welcome these colors shining through.”

The colores of fall, the changing from bright greens to rich yellows and gold, perfecto metaphor for growing older, the Autumn of our Lives. It can be a time of reflection, of beauty. Como todo en la vida, with gratitude the belleza of the present season makes the colors richer and their presence more precious. 

Look for the beauty in each season Beautifuls, they are there and they are bountiful and plenty. Mull over your daily moments, hay bastante blessings in each day if your take the time to look. For her parte, Babushka loves the symbolism, cider and sabiduria of this season and is grateful for its’ beauty and tastes. Drink up, indulge, ingest it all! 

The taste of Fall, enjoying it with all her senses.

Babushka Besos a todos.

Cuidensen.
