Ya esta el 8 de enero. Necesito unas vacaciones de mis vacaciones. Purepero, Michocan, Mexico es un pueblo lindo. Ya acabe con los EEUU. Me gusta la vida en Guatemala. Mi intencion para este año nuevo es para prestar atencion a los detalles. A toda la vida. En ingles, se llama "mindfulness." Tambien, para pensar, hablar y hacer cosas y actividades con "metta" (ingles para "lovingkindness" ... como compasion en español.)
