I actually sat on a swing and swung today. It was so different than I remembered. But, after a few minutes it was on! Had to see how far up I could swing.
Did I jump? Heck no.
But this lil beauty had no fear of flight and landing.
She’s ahhmazing. Takes after her grandma. Ok, her grandma when she was young. 😆
It’s the little things.
Much love

Lately I’ve seen, read and even written things in Spanglish. While it’s been around a long time, rarely do you see it written on blogs and such.
I just have to say me encanta. It’s our way.
Gonna start the weekend with a great workout and music!
Dance with me to this lil Spanglish tune.
Living la Vida!

May life forgive me all the times I didn’t live it.
That’s quite a bit of forgiveness I’m asking for. But like a lover who’s been neglectful I’m hoping to have a chance to remedy what I have done.
Voy a vivir, voy a gozar.
Every single day.
I hope you do as well. Life is to be enjoyed to the fullest.
Love to you,

The Christmas season!
So here we go, Christmas songs to listen to while we get ready for the holiday.
My most favorite is,
Maybe next year I’ll be better 🙄
My other favorite 😂
ok and…
And afterwards it’s like any other Christmas song!
What’s your favorite Christmas song?

So nice to see your face again
Tell me how long has it been
Since you’ve been here
(since you’ve been here)
You look so different than before
But still the person I adore
Frozen with fear
I’m out of love but I’ll take it from the past
I’ll let out words cause I’m sure It’ll never last
And I’ve been saving
These last words for one last miracle
But now I’m not sure
I can’t save you if
You don’t let me
You just get me like I never
Been gotten before
Maybe it’s the bitter wind
A chill from the Pacific rim
That brought you this way
(that brought you my way)
Do not make me think of him
The way he touch your fragile skin
That hunts me everyday
I’m out of love but I can’t forget the past
I’m out of words but I’m sure it’ll never last
My song of the day.
Much love

Well I gotta eat!
Out in another little NM city. I googled veggie places to eat. This came up nice and close, so here I go.
I was there a few minutes after they opened and ok, I was first. I love this because I can check it all out. 🙂
There were a few people putting up Christmas decorations and carols are playing. Nice.
I was seated by a nice young man and given menus.
Pacific Rim is a beautiful place. My favorite color is everywhere. Really like the hanging parasols.
The owner came over and asked if I had been here before which of course I hadn’t, so we went over the veggie eats and how lovely the place is. I like this personal touch.
A so, very young waitress came over and took the drink order.
Tea, hot tea. Ummm there’s no emoji for omg so yummy. This is Japan Genmaicha Yamasaki. The owners favorite tea from Japan 💕.
Then ordered stir fry, you get to choose the veggies you want as well as the sauce and kind of rice. I just had the steamed rice. Rice is life! Lol
The miso soup is good and I love my miso. To be honest though I like more seaweed and tofu in it. No matter on this cold windy day it was delish.
The stir fry was really good too.
I can’t wait til I can find my beat up woks and make my own again.
This place is really pretty and the customer service is great. The food is just as amazing. I’ll be back whenever I’m in town 🙂
They finished the tree in the time I had my meal too.
Sorry for the glare.

Did you know that you were my all?
El amor de mi vida?
El respiro de mi alma?
I waited…. just knew we were destined.
Did you know I waited for you to ask?
I was ready.
Would have gone against everything I ever was.
Now I know there is no question.
Never was one
I do know that no matter what
El amor siempre gana
Time for me to fly
Oh, I’ve got to set myself free
(Time for me to fly)
And that’s just how it’s got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it’s time for me to fly
Raq ✌️
Thanksgiving was amazing.
Spending time with friends and relatives I had not been with in years.
We rented the Knights of Columbus building and it was nice and roomy for what we had planned.
Everyone brought their designated dishes and more.
Tables of food went along the wall and on the other side deserts of all kinds.
Later in the evening it was just close family, ok still quite a few of us. Talking about the day and eats. Then someone brings up the 2 guys that walked in a couple of hours in then another 3. Who were they? Did you invite them? Nope not me. No one knew them 😆 I love that. They were nice had their meal and left. They did say hello but if you’re Latino, no prob. Mi casa es tu casa.
This made my heart swell, my family is all love. We were all glad they came in and made themselves at home we actually wished more had come. There was still so much we had to put up.
Blessed, so very blessed.

So much to be thankful for.
This is the first Thanksgiving with my family in 17 years. It’s already so emotional.
We’ve had to rent a place since there will be a few more than usual.
Along with my family are my friends, both in the real world as well as my internet ones.
You.. I am very grateful for you…
I am truly blessed.
So much love and so many blessings to you.
Raq 😘
