My dear, old Hive friend, I'm joining your New Year wishes with full power, and I wish you all the best in your personal life in all aspects the way you would want it for yourself❣️
Btw, while watching the photo you chose for this post, Pope John Paul II's first words (when he appeared on the balcony as a new Pope) popped up in my mind. "Don't be afraid!"
I think we should hold them tight throughout this year, courageously stepping forward and helping build the world at its finest the best we know and the most we can. 😊
I wish you a very nice year!
Now, this is completely off topic but... I believe you are Portuguese, right? How is your Portuguese going? Do you speak it on a daily basis or are you forgetting it?
LOL - You are checking some old messages!?! 😅
However, I'll have to disappoint you as I'm not Portuguese. And I kinda have a feeling that you must have been mixed me or something with somebody else. 😄
Unfortunately, I've never learned Portuguese, although it is on my to-do wish list.
But before that, I'll have to continue learning my Spanish because of my daughter in law (although we communicate perfectly using English), my hopefully future grandchildren, and at the moment mostly because of my daughter's in-law parents who don't speak any other language except Spanish and Catalan. So, without my son or my daughter-in-law nearby to translate, communication with them it's quite hilarious! 😁
Sorry, I thought you were. Ana Maria is a very Portuguese name. 😆
Ah, yes, I can imagine that's a challenge. Keep up with that, then. I know a little bit of Spanish and Catalan myself. 🤗
Hahaha, yeah, I have been told that many times. The funny thing is that Spanish, Italian and people from my country would say the same. 😀
However, I started to type here how I actually got my name, but my comment turned out in the size of a whole article so I posted it here (if you would be interested to read). 😊
