Vaso medio lleno | Glass half full (ESP/ENG)

Desde hace unos meses para acá, hemos tenido muchos recortes en nuestros gastos, mi hija se enfermó varias veces, al igual que yo, luego nos agobiaron los gastos al punto de endeudarnos, el auto se averió, han sido tantas cosas que han llegado juntas, que muchas veces he sentido que colapso, pero hay momentos en los que debemos olvidarnos de todo lo malo, y liberar nuestra mente de tanta carga, sentarnos y disfrutar de un momento.

Since a few months ago, we have had many cutbacks in our expenses, my daughter got sick several times, as did I, then we were overwhelmed with expenses to the point of getting into debt, the car broke down, there have been so many things that have come together, that many times I have felt like collapsing, but there are times when we must forget about all the bad, and free our mind of so much burden, sit back and enjoy a moment.

Ayer, 11 de mayo cumplí 35 años de vida, siempre he sido una persona que no le da importancia a este día, no lo celebro, para mí es un día anormal, que no representa un cambio en mi vida, más que un número más para mis días de vida, me levante igual que todos los días, ocupándome de mis deberes como siempre, recibí una llamada de una sobrina para felicitarme, unos lindos mensajes de mi cuñada, deseándome lo mejor y mi mejor amigo tampoco lo olvido, son más que suficientes para mí, mientras las personas que me importan me valoren lo demás me da igual, mi esposa e hija me dieron un abrazo y beso, esto para mí es más que suficiente para sentirme agradecido por un día más de vida.

Yesterday, May 11 I turned 35 years old, I have always been a person who does not give importance to this day, I do not celebrate it, for me it is an abnormal day, which does not represent a change in my life, more than a number more for my days of life, I got up like every day, taking care of my duties as usual, I received a call from a niece to congratulate me, some nice messages from my sister-in-law, wishing me the best and my best friend I do not forget it either, they are more than enough for me, as long as people I care about value me the rest does not matter to me, my wife and my best friend are not forgotten either, they are more than enough for me, Some nice messages from my sister in law, wishing me the best and my best friend I don't forget him either, they are more than enough for me, as long as the people I care about value me the rest doesn't matter, my wife and daughter gave me a hug and kiss, this is more than enough for me to feel grateful for one more day of life.

Como mencione, un día simple, como siempre, luego de pasar todo el día dando vueltas, llegamos a casa, preparamos el almuerzo y, me sentía agotado, casi como siempre, había dormido poco, y tantas preocupaciones me dan insomnio, mi cabeza da tantas vueltas, tratando de dar soluciones a los problemas y termine con un dolor de cabeza que no soportaba, decidí dormir un poco para aliviar mi mente mientras mi esposa terminaba unos pedidos de su negocio que tenía pendiente.

As I mentioned, a simple day, as usual, after spending the whole day walking around, we got home, prepared lunch and, I felt exhausted, almost as usual, I had slept little, and so many worries give me insomnia, my head spins so much, trying to give solutions to the problems and I ended up with a headache that I could not stand, I decided to sleep a little to ease my mind while my wife finished some orders of her business that she had pending.

Al llegar la tarde salimos a comprar cena, llegamos en un sitio y cuando fui a pagar busco en mi billetera porque debía cancelar en dólares cuando por sorpresa voy a buscar el dinero y no estaba, me regrese al carro buscando por si los había dejado en la guantera, por casualidad, pero no fue así, nos tocó regresar a casa, esperando que, con mi descuido lo hubiera puesto en mi escritorio o en algún estante, buscamos hasta el cansancio, ya que era el dinero que tenía para solventar unos gastos de esta semana, pero nunca aparecieron, mi mente estaba por estallar.

When the afternoon arrived we went out to buy dinner, we arrived at a place and when I went to pay I looked in my wallet because I had to cancel in dollars when by surprise I go to look for the money and it was not there, I went back to the car looking in case I had left it in the glove compartment, by chance, but it was not so, we had to return home, hoping that, with my carelessness I had put it on my desk or on a shelf, we searched until exhaustion, since it was the money I had to pay some expenses for this week, but it never appeared, my mind was about to explode.

Luego de tanto pensar, intentando recordar, por si había colocado el dinero en algún sitio que no recordaba, me sentí abrumado, pero en ese momento se acercó mi esposa, con un pequeño pastel de chocolate su especialidad, junto a mi hija, se sentaron a mi lado y con un beso de ambas mi mente se liberó, me cantaron cumpleaños, y pensé en ese momento, de que aun con todo lo que pasaba, las tenía a ellas, y eso siempre me da ánimos a seguir, decidí dejar todo a un lado y disfrutar ese momento, que aunque no era mucho, para mí era perfecto, siempre he apreciado las pequeñas cosas, porque su valor es infinito.

After so much thinking, trying to remember, in case I had placed the money somewhere I did not remember, I felt overwhelmed, but at that moment my wife approached, with a small chocolate cake, her specialty, with my daughter, they sat next to me and with a kiss from both of them my mind was released, They sang birthday to me, and I thought at that moment, that even with everything that was happening, I had them, and that always gives me encouragement to continue, I decided to leave everything aside and enjoy that moment, although it was not much, for me it was perfect, I have always appreciated the little things, because their value is infinite.

Las abrace, sople la vela, y le dije a mi esposa, no me preocuparé más por el dinero, más se perdió en la guerra y siempre se sale adelante, comimos torta con coca cola y nos fuimos a la habitación a jugar con la beba, reímos con las ocurrencias de alissandra, al punto que se agotó y se quedó dormida, conversamos un poco y ella se puso a atender los pendientes del trabajo mientras yo prendí el TV y me puse a ver unos capítulos de una de mis series favoritas "Two And a Half Men".

I hugged them, blew out the candle, and told my wife, I will not worry about money anymore, more was lost in the war and you always get ahead, we ate cake with coke and went to the room to play with the baby, we laughed with the witticisms of alissandra, to the point that she was exhausted and fell asleep, we talked a little and she began to attend the pending work while I turned on the TV and I started watching a few episodes of one of my favorite series "Two And a Half Men".

No podemos pretender que todo en la vida nos salga como queremos siempre, los altos y bajos siempre están, el problema no son ellos, somos nosotros cuando nos dejamos agobiar por estos momentos y cuando llegan las adversidades solo debemos ponernos los pantalones y seguir adelante, porque siempre habrá una solución, y los días de tormenta siempre llegan a su fin, permitiéndonos mirar un rayo de sol, y cuando todo este proceso termina solo queda como un mal recuerdo de un mal momento que simplemente se terminara borrando de nuestra mente.

We can not pretend that everything in life goes as we always want, the highs and lows are always there, the problem is not them, it is us when we let ourselves be overwhelmed by these moments and when adversity comes we just have to put on our pants and move forward, because there will always be a solution, and the stormy days always come to an end, allowing us to see a ray of sunshine, and when this whole process ends only remains as a bad memory of a bad time that simply end up erasing from our mind.
