No expectations
I can’t tell you how many times I have gone out to Carmen Bajo with a long to-do list and then have come home disappointed at getting nothing accomplished. Yesterday was the opposite. I went with no agenda and no expectations and I had one of my favourite days. I learned how to make a scarf out of yarn and then made one while chatting about nothing in particular with the ladies in the office. I had a delicious lunch with great friends. I received many hugs from the kids. I got to feel very useful while helping a couple of high school kids with their english homework. I hung out with a couple of girls from my small group. And, to top it off, on the way home I enjoyed an amazing “guagua de pan” (bread in the shape of a baby – a traditional food for the holiday on Nov 2nd ) filled with nutella with 2 of my favourite people. Oh how I’m going to miss days like this!
