Life in Brazil and Perserverence!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 22oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. This morning, I walked about 7 km but did not exercise. I am still feeling some effects of the cold, and returning to normal is a little tricky because I had broke my routine. However, it is essential not to stop completely. Even walking without any exercise is better than […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 22oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. Monday is the beginning of the working week, the new month, and the year’s second half. Now, it is less thinking, more doing, and the need for much distraction control. If we allow it, life will easily drag or entice us away from our goals and dreams. We need to […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warmish, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Sunday, and I do not want to do much today. I need time for myself and to think about everything happening in my life. It is the second day of the new semester, and this semester, I want to focus on the changes I have already made. I […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 23oC, warmish and overcast. Thank God it is Friday, even though it has been a good week. I resolved my Brazilian ID and will receive my new glasses tomorrow. I am tired and have not spent enough time developing the sites. At least I have decided my priorities for the next six months: my teeth, the […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hottish, sunny and with a bright sky. It is Sunday, and it is a beautiful day, but I am still a little down with a lingering cold. The plan is to get up early, work out in the park, have coffee at the Portuguese baker’s, and then maybe walk to Urca. Urca is my church, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, hottish, sunny and with a bright sky. My intention for this Saturday is to do a heavy exercise routine even though I am still recovering from a cold and need to relax. On Monday, I have an appointment with the Federal Police and must take some documents. Yesterday, I sorted them, including which needed to […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hottish and sunny. Thursday, and I am still with a cold, and it seems to have stuck. Even so, up and out early for a light exercise session in the park. Back and washed by ten to seven and working with my first class at seven. Classes are direct until two pm, and then I […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. My cold is getting worse, and I think I am going to die. I am taking medicine, which is a question of weathering the storm out: an early walk, no exercise, and some photos. When I had the dogs, I would love to go on long walks with them, drinking […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 22oC, cool and overcast. It is Sunday, a day that I normally reserve a part of to myself, if I were living alone, or more likely the whole day. I needed to change Rogerio’s shirt, a present I had taken to his birthday barbecue party the Sunday before. Surprisingly, it was too large for him, as […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot and sunny. It is Saturday, and today will be a full house. Yasmin’s aunts, Nalva’s sisters, and one of Yasmin’s cousins, Caio, will be coming to commemorate her birthday. I got up at 7 am and worked out for about an hour and a half at the park. On the way back, I had […]
