Life, Brazil and Resilience!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warm, sunny and slightly overcast. So it’s Friday again, the end of the work week, and the weekend’s eve once more. Has it been a good week? It certainly hasn’t been bad. I’m starting to put everything into place, and I am dealing with my fear of being successful. I’ve concluded that deep down, I’m […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot and sunny with a cloudless sky. It has been a productive week so far. I have a clear understanding of what I need to do professionally in the future, what actions I need to take, and what I desire. We need to set goals, not just dreams. Goals have specific dates, deadlines, or a […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 23oC, warm and sunny. I am studying more about building websites on the Internet. I started a course before Yasmin’s school holidays and stopped due to holiday stress, but now I am back and enjoying it. I woke up early for a walk and some exercise. It is a new month, and I am feeling enthusiastic! […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warm, sunny and overcast. Another intense and invigorating workout in the morning: 45 minutes of skipping with intervals of other aerobic exercises totalling nine thousand steps. Not bad for a man who is almost sixty. Two coffees in the Portuguese Bakery on the way home, and everything is good. A shower and a change of […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 22oC, cool, grey and overcast. It is Sunday again, and tomorrow is my brother’s birthday. He did not send me a message or call me on my birthday in April, but I will still try to wish him a happy birthday. I woke up early, walked, exercised, had coffee, and took time to reflect. Yesterday, Katia’s […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 22oC, rainy, grey and overcast. Thank God it is Saturday! Dealing with Yasmin and the end-of-month anxiety has been a long, stressful week. I am looking forward to a new month and new goals! I woke up early and did a tough workout, mixing skipping with exercise repetitions. Skipping quickly raised my body temperature and heart […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, hottish, sunny and clear skies. I’ve noticed that it really affects me when I’m not feeling well. If I’m exhausted, it’s hard for me to perform at my best. I feel completely exhausted, both mentally and physically, so I can’t do much. The mental exhaustion prevents me from performing well in my classes. I’m not […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot, sunny, clear skies. I do not want to dwell on negativity by constantly talking about my problems. Instead, I want to demonstrate to others that they are not alone. We all experience difficulties and doubts and often feel isolated in our struggles, believing that no one else is going through similar tough times or […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hottish and sunny. It is Tuesday, almost the end of the month, and I am feeling extremely frustrated, unsociable, and angry. I do not know if it is only now, at 57 years old, that I am beginning to see things in a different light. It feels like I have been wearing blinders for the […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, hottish and a clear sky. Sunday is always a special day. Especially when you have something special to do, you are at peace, and it is a beautiful day. It is a day where you can do whatever you want with whoever you want, or even just with yourself. I got up and went […]
