Last 2010 Post..

Hello my big family....

 Well, Christmas is already over.. Thank you Lord! I bet everyone got a big kiss and a huge hug from someone they love, family, friends and many good and positive energy all around you. That, for me is the idea of a Great Christmas, since I am not a child anymore and gifts (which for me ) are an obligation or a "marketing strategy" that TV makes us feel bad that we did not get something for anybody this year (that was me!!) hahah.. But I decided that my presence would be enough.. hahahah
 In general Christmas is just a day we all have to do, period. 
 When I was a kid it was just amazing waiting to get the presents Santa had decided to leave me under the tree.. It all depended if I had behaved well that year or not. I did most of the time.. Yeah right..
 This year I spend Christmas night with my family, at mum's house and it was great as always.. Mom played the guitar at the end singing her Beatles songs the wine bottles where opening one after the other and faster as time went by. 

All and all new years is coming. A new year approaching and I send all my blessings -since I was canonized by the church- and they let me do that.. ahhahah.. Hope this 2011 brings you happiness, peace, joy, love health and winning the lottery (share the wealth) and not much anxiety. Life is too short to complain about anything, really.. It's a wonderful gift (life) we have received and we need to make the best out of it, whatever it is we want to do, but always getting better at it. Let's try to be nicer to others, let's not be so "chismosos" or talk bad about other people, let's be NICE. Let's give something back, something in return for all the great blessings we have received throughout the years.... Good is the NEW, UBER COOl.. for me it has always been.

Year "2011" sounds great, I enjoy the uneven numbers for some reason so this is going to be a great one for all.

Much Love my friends.. Be cool, do not change for what others tell you or want you to be like, look like, sound like etc.. The great thing is that we are all UNIQUE!.... Isn't that just BRILLIANT! ??? I know it is..
See you next year.... :)
