As we approach the end of a new year, we are tempted to make a kind of inventory of things to do and things done. Looking back, we can see how far we have come, but also how much we have changed. Fortunately, we have freed ourselves from the weight that can be toxic relationships, unwanted jobs, and exhausting routines. Freeing ourselves from that leaves us lighter, more confident, even if we have scars, even if we have left pieces of ourselves behind.
Yesterday, December 20, I had my birthday and a friend made me a video with old photos. I saw myself and I didn't recognize myself. Although in essence I am still the same flower-eating dreamer, the cracks I carry in my soul, like the bark of a tree, speak of sadness, grief, but also of maturity. I suppose that when we die, if we reach the other side intact, we are returned because living leaves cracks, fissures, changes.
Today is the spirit of Christmas and I want to wish you health, tranquility, travel, money and especially, lots of love. Receive a big hug from this Venezuelan who appreciates you. Hugs, Eric

Happy belated birthday to you my friend! I hope you enjoyed your day. Life is such a journey isn't it?! I feel like, at least on some level, our development is never really completed but there's this inner core in each person that's already absolutely perfect. Life has been a bit of a challenge the second half of this year. I'm hoping 2024 brings better things, tough times never last long. Thank you for your wishes! I echo the same back to you. Merry Christmas!
