Que bonito es no hacer nada y después descansar.
-Spanish saying
“How lovely is it to do nothing and rest afterward.”
In my real-world life, early January typically involves a long flight home, painfully early mornings at work under harsh florescent lighting, hurriedly buying my textbooks for the impending semester, restocking the fridge and paying all the bills that arrived while we were away for the holidays. Often Brad and I have a cold from all the traveling.
This year, I got a cold from traveling. But, it didn’t really hit me until we were leaving Prague to come home. And, I was able to simply descansar (rest) at home while getting well – for the first time since my childhood. A gift from God.
Even better, mis suegros (my in-laws) are arriving at Madrid Barajas airport on Sunday! I get to be with them when they experience Europe for this first time.
I hope all of you are enjoying the fresh start of the New Year. If you’re like me, you’ve taken this time to “revise” those resolutions that were a bit too lofty. As the Spaniards say, Feliz Año! (“Happy year!”)
