I didn't really have a plan for the weekend, but the truth is that I deserved to have one...after several days without being able to move forward on other projects - due to the unfortunate power outages - I got fed up with everything and went shopping to treat myself to some treats and replace several "kitchen utensils",that it could also have been a few more things...😇...; What if my mother was looking at me through a little crack in the firmament? He was mockingly mocking me, I know...kisses for you mom, every day we become a little more alike...❤️...😅

Believe me, after being stressed for three weeks, and now to top it all off with the big seasonal cold (which I don't know if it's the same one that came from the bat that the Chinese ate, because my nose doesn't distinguish between a cup of milk and a cup of coffee), the best way to free myself from all that was to go to a store and spend a few dollars, and I enjoyed it so much because I'm alive and happy and long live consumerism¡with discretion of course!

I assure you that this energetic Pharrell Williams, Because Im Happy song was playing in my headphones for every step I took among the people, and I wanted to dance even if they thought I was crazy.

Not only was I happy for spending a little money, but for being on the street, mixing with people and seeing how the world does not stop even though yours has its own direction, and several setbacks...whether you are there or not, life will be an eternal wandering of its protagonists: man.

I also noticed that in previous years the shops closed later and you could walk until dark looking merchandise, ceramics and paintings by provincial people with incredible quality. I really missed browsing the bookstores where I unearthed books that no one knew existed there, and I forgot to buy my shoes because I preferred to waste the money by spending on a few extra books because the smell of their new pages is the prodigious elixir that the human mind falls in love with....what a beautiful time!

Bookstores with empty shelves.

I remembered with great nostalgia a song by Soraya,Suddenly that inevitably led me to the years of the best friendships, and some innocent loves that still live in the distance, and that are felt when I walk through those same streets where we whispered in each other's ears and died of laughter just by looking into the depth of our gazes...sometimes memory hits you for no reason and you wonder: why do I have to remember this now...is it the music that activates forgotten areas of your memories?

We are a town founded during the Spanish colony, our architecture has stopped in time.

Do you know that I always use an umbrella?
However, not today, today I enjoyed the sun warming my skin, my hair tangled in the wind, my arm wrapped in the warmth of his arm, and the footsteps of equals in one direction... there was so much peace and good vibes.

And between one song and another that I have saved among my favorite lists, I have this from by Melendi, The Promise that I can't lie I loved so much because it is the same antithesis of unrequited love that is carried in the soul with the sole objective of keeping it and cuddling it so that it sleeps and doesn't wake up again, because there are things that are respected far beyond friendship...

If you know about plants you can observe the so-called Desert Flower... incredibly beautiful among the other species.

That's how it is one day, you wake up and the music marks you in a corridor of one - two - three, the memories, the experiences, and the smells that your smooth and delicate journey through life.

My tips for today.

  • Don't stop worrying about those who truly love you.
  • Don't let it affect you that others can judge you.
  • Don't go where they don't welcome you.
  • Explain to yourself every day wherever you come from, your life is worth as much as that of any human being.
  • Understand that life will never stop being worth living, much less when you listen to good music.

This is my Saturday walk and my songs for you today.


Always very grateful for your reading.

Sort:  

The tag is meant to be #saturdayselections,just saying. Also, you say #8 but I think this is only your first time??

The label will be changed.

I put number 8 following the order in which it has been used. If not, I change it to number 1, which corresponds to my first time.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

No inconvenience at all. I was just letting you know, count it as your first and count up from there, or don't put a count on it at all (which is what I do).

I hope that you feel better soon. However, sometimes a little retail therapy is all we need. At least you have beautiful surrounding nature to help you through the cooler season, and I hope you'll be able to smell the coffee soon.
Happy Sunday!

I really rebelled, I told my body that I was tired of opportunistic diseases and I went to sunbathe and live a moment of ephemeral happiness like when children receive a new toy, only in this case I only acquired necessary objects to make better use of the small spaces in my kitchen...and it felt very good...if you had seen me I couldn't stop looking at how everything looked after the new order. And the walk was also incredible, relaxing and purifying...I felt so much better afterwards. Thank you, you are very kind.

Happy Sunday for you to.

Music definitely relates to memories as if it is tied to them and when you listen to it again those memories come back. What a beautiful selection and I love to join you on the shopping and ride!!!! Lovely Sunday!🤗

Music is capable of making you remember details lost in time. Sometimes a melody or even a phrase comes to me and a look suddenly returns without expecting it, not even being prepared for it. Could it be that love and friendship were always supported by shared songs or those that best expressed our feelings. How powerful is the mind! Nice Sunday friend, maybe one day we will go partying and shopping...hahaha.

Well, .... I'm not a party person but I do go for walks!!! hahahahahaha

Having a coffee, a beer, a tea is already a party, especially when it is shared with good friends.

🌞❤️🌹

I totally agree!🤗

How good, enjoy shopping, and remember pleasant moments through songs, you have to live life without stressing too much and really enjoy it, greetings.

That's right my friend, especially us women who love to decorate and redecorate every chance we get...😅
And about music, what to tell you, it's super powerful with our mind.

Excellent Sunday to you and your family.

I visited Pinar a long time ago, I think it was in 89 of the last century. It was on vacation, I visited several places of interest in the province. I was a recent graduate and I signed up for a vacation exchange among workers of the Pedagogical Institutes (my first job was in the Pedagogical Institute of Matanzas).

After that I have never been to your land. 🌻

Hello!!!
To tell the truth, I don't think you've missed much...everything is as you left it, some small changes but nothing significant...a shame, we continue to be the Cinderella of Cuba...
I hope you are well, publishing is very difficult for me due to the schedule of power outages, but nothing in this life is easy and so we continue like a snail with the house on our backs.
I saw that you subscribed to Apis, how happy it made me.

And didn't they say that Cinderella had become a princess? 🤔 Whatever, keeping the legend alive has its charm.

I still don't quite understand what Apis is all about, if you know, explain it to me by TG, please.

I hope you are better with your tummy, me with a cold that has left me without a voice 🤧.

I'm better with my tummy, but accompanied by your same cold...it's not clear, wow! Apis is like a minigame in which you only have to enter all the days to claim honey first of all...and meet the requirements that they demand...not do powerdown so that your HP grows and as you level up they will give you HP...something like that... I'm going to translate everything and then I'll send it to you there.TLG

Great reflection that will surely motivate many.
Congratulations!
