Today is the 5 year anniversary of waking up from a coma. As I try to think back to the moment I woke up, I have nothing.

The … Continue reading I try to think about the moment I woke up
My puppies, who are close to being 7 months old are growing up too fast. Last week we took them to the Humane Society to be sterilized.

Today I went to the movies with one of the strongest women I know, my mom, to watch Wonder Woman.

The movie did not disappoint, it told the story of the amazon … Continue reading Wonder Woman
WOW! Things have changed from 2012, including my writing. These are my memories, just like I wrote them in 2012.
Here are my last memories from 2012. I still am very proud of all of this as I read it again and I still remember how tired I was after taking just a few steps, but it was all worth it.

Yesterday was a long day for me, and now I'm paying for that. I started the day at the gym at 8 am, that was the gym without air conditioner in the summer, near desert heat we're living with in Puerto Rico right now. (The power was out.) After the gym I came home, changed … Continue reading This morning I woke up feeling like I had a hangover

There is something you can't have enough of in your life and that's good friends, those who are always there. I have talked about this before but I'm lucky enough to have more than a few of those.

May 17... another birthday!!!! Today didn't begin like any other birthday, at least not any I've had.

I want to … Continue reading Happy Birthday!

Today, before finishing my Mother's Day shopping, had an appointment with the optometrist. I had no idea but the last time I had my eyes checked was two years ago. In my defense, with so many doctor's appointments, it's hard to keep track of that. I wasn't seeing things that clearly but I thought that … Continue reading The world got brighter with new eyes
My dogs need attention, they've always had it because there is always someone with them. I'm always here with them on weekdays, not having a job works in my dog's favor and we, very rarely, leave them all alone here for a long time. They know that when I'm the only one here, they are … Continue reading Can’t imagine life without them
