Gifts

   This year I did not have that Christmas spirit, everything died in me. We didn't give many gifts, receive many gifts, and did not celebrate Christmas as we usually do. This year, I want that to change. My goal is to buy my cousins all a special gift because I want to show them that I care and I love seeing people getting gifts. Usually my family buys gifts its just that I've never paid for it, considering that I have around 15 cousins. That's why this is special. I have been saving money and trying to find out secretly what they want. I hope I can achieve this goal and surprise them with these gifts to fulfill our Christmas spirit.

Mia's Motivational Mondays

   I know this is not Monday, but here we go.

REASON

   Everything happens for a reason and I forget that sometimes. About two weeks ago we lost our chance to be in the championship, which I'm still upset about because I was looking forward to that day since the year before, but then I realized that everything happens for a reason and it made me think on positive things like maybe I need to work harder or maybe there will be even another chance to redeem myself or maybe this somehow connects in the future. Thinking about reasons, I thought about fairy tales and how they always got a "happily ever after." But that made me think, maybe if we did win maybe I would have stop playing basketball because I would have fulfilled my goal or maybe that eventually I would get that satisfying moment later in life when it is more worth it. That made me realize that if your life is not happy, your story is not over. That made me go into a state of motivation again and made ready to get back on track. My story is not over yet and I have a plentiful to learn in life. 

   Next time you feel down think about the positive things in life, everything happens for a reason and is setting you up for something great in your future.

Updates

   One of my main problems is doing what I say I am going to do when it is new or I don't have much of a passion for, for example ...

     1. Motivational Mondays

     2. Story time Saturdays

 and that is one of my new years resolution to do, do something right away.

   I am so sorry that I haven't been posting much, but I have been very busy and sometimes not motivated, but no excuses! So for now on I will be uploading more often and that is a promise. Look forward to it.

The Perfect Gift

    I've always thought about the "perfect gift" but I never could actually think of one. Most of the things I really want are things that I would have to earn because most of those will have a real sentimental impact in my life, but besides that, most gifts I get are the perfect gift because I am grateful that I get a gift in the first place.
