The Reason Why


Today I want to tell you the reason why I have chosen the name of my blog. As we know, inspiration could be really evasive sometimes... while I was looking for an amazing, outstanding, creative phrase for my blog I thought: There should be so many blogs in  English already 😕...mine is going to be the number...and suddenly the name came. It was not a matter of creativity. The number, as anyone can guess, is my date of birth (Yes! I´m that old 😳) However, there is a positive thing regarding the 26th Octubre 1985, does that day ring any bell? Well, I´m one of those in that select group of people who can say that their date of birth is included in a film and not any film...in a trilogy (nope...it is not The Lord of the Rings😒)
It´s Back to the Future (by the way, I LOVE the trilogy - such a modern word for an old film...¨trilogy¨) 






So, now you know what is behind the name of my blog. 
I wonder if you google your date of birth, what are the results...Had something interesting happened that day? (apart from your birth of course 😝)
This is for those of you who had not watched the most fantastic trilogy ever

Waiting in Vain (?

Hi, there! 
On this rainy day I am listening to´Waiting in Vain´ (Bob Marley´s song - shame on you if you don´t know that -) and suddenly I thoughtWhy do we always wait for things to come to us and knock at our door saying: "Here I am, finally I have arrived"! Well, as we are all grown-ups, we know that nothing in this world works in that way. 
Going back to the matter of ´waiting´, please do not misunderstand me, I know that sometimes we have to wait for certain things to happen but...Have you ever had that feeling of being waiting in vain for something? Do you think that waiting is useful? I think that we spend half of your lives waiting...waiting for the right moment, for a person to change, for our retirement to travel (and what if when we get retired our body is no longer able to carry us where we want to go, if our mind is no longer able to enjoy life, and what if there is not retirement, if the end hit us earlier than we expect it?)
Well, I get too pessimistic and that is not me. So, I will leave you with our friend Bob.  =) 
Ps: I´m eager to read your comments.
