Gratitude and Graciousness

Berkeley, Sunday, June 1, 2025 12:32 AM Everyday one needs to pray and to reflect, read write, have a quiet moment, to receive all the energy that is available. But also one needs to push hard to get the work done. Hopefully, then one is awake to graciously accept one comes. Also, fully aware to […]

Discipline

Berkeley, Sunday, June 1, 2025 12:27 Am I bought a meal plan at I-House. Probably convenient. But the extra time I have for not cooking on a daily basis, does not mean I can use on for instance watching the Giro of Italia. I do need to keep my fight against screens, consuming, videos, etc. […]

Shyness

Berkeley, Saturday, May 31, 2025 1:30 AM I did something for a group I was collaborating with. I committed to send a document. I did. But I sent it to one person. I should have sent it to everyone. I probably evaluate the reason that was not show off. I think that is good. But […]

Connections

Berkeley, Saturday May 31, 2025 1:25 am Things are a bit all over the place. That is of course a terrible thing. I need to find a way to get done my grading, submit an exam I need to take by mid-week next week, apply for jobs, and finish my own writing. Challenges and applications […]

Think

Berkeley, Friday, May 30, 2025 5:50 Pm I still need to turn in one or two applications today, grade 7 or 8 papers. The big question is why do I choose to delay things at times. I do admire athletes. Of course, I sometimes think on the training life from Richard Carapaz for instance, and […]

Promises Kept

Berkeley, Tuesday, May 27, 2025 Why did I missed a deadline last Wednesday. After missing it things become tougher. It is easy to find excuses, but I will remain. I set myself some promises to fix things now. I will write those on my own time.

Afraid

Berkeley, Monday, May 26, 2025 10:51 Pm The lack of confidence in a few aspects is of course embarrassing and worrisome. Trust is more than human. But it builds up with discipline, moderation, focus.

Pride and vanity

Berkeley, Sunday, May 25, 2025 11:38 PM One of the worst situations one can encounter is believing that one should be acknowledged and non acknowledging others. Envy might come from pride and vanity. OK to make errors, and to keep those in the heart and make corrections. One solution I believe is to remind oneself […]

Uplifted

Berkeley, Sunday, May 25, 2025 11:30 PM The good forces are healing and uplifting. We can embody those in spirit if we allow. Evil forces, of course, are present all the time. We life close to them. We interact with them. One just need more discernment about giving time to them and to be led […]

Distractions and Wake up

Berkeley, Sunday, May 25, 2025 11:25 Pm I understand that several events have happened recently. I have been in survival mode. I must declutter my place, and keep my things organized. It is unfair to say that others might push for distractions, if one focuses in other stuff in the own time. But I will […]
