1️⃣ What was your greatest joy of 2022...?
2️⃣ What was your greatest sorrow of 2022...?
Bittersweet 2022
To discover how I want to reach old age, I am in my 60s. I have built with a lot of effort a life project that is learned, breathed, matured, and transcended every day with love and for that, I am grateful because I have grown and been consistent with myself this year 2022 which has been golden for me to live.
The only thing I can say is that this effort is a personal decision and a lifelong work, and if I don't do it consciously it will never happen automatically. If I can show what has worked for me and how I do it and apply it in my life I will be happy (my state of mind) until my last breath, so the only thing I ask of life is to always have the ENJOYMENT to keep trying.
What for?
So that is the greatest gift because I feel it in my soul "Self-love through limits" "time for me" "give me gifts", and "have me as a priority" is already happening, and do not let me take only one way because in the variety is the taste. I can only say that my goal is freedom, I am aware that every time my heart grows with immense gratitude.
Another reason to be happy is to see my family, my elderly parents of 83 and 86 years, united despite all adversities, they are alive and healthy.

Today December 30, 2022, I embrace my affections, I make peace with the past, life is about love, anything contrary to love, takes me away from my true self, with joy for life, I wish that my day begins with a smile and that it stays forever on my face.
The Sad Thing
With this testimony I am not making value judgments, I am just observing for sure because there are more things happening, which are silenced but not forgotten.
How rough the socioeconomic situation is in my country, where normality does not exist, and I am aware that things will always happen (changes) to improve the social and economic structure because without it everything collapses.
We are living in a chaotic moment, to accept and assimilate into our daily life the dose of reality is very complex where it is difficult to set limits without paying a price, for example in Latin America... to see how we continue to get worse and worse with the economy, brings a lot of anguish, everyone demands us in our daily life, and everyone wants us to fulfill their demands and expectations without caring if we can or not. ... family members, partners, classmates or co-workers, bosses, superiors, and even civil servants of all kinds, civil and military or police... almost everyone always goes a little beyond what is legal, permitted or common sense.
Many times, setting a limit exposes us to be offended, disobeyed, and responding with some retaliation, from the tears of a partner, mother, or child, ta dismissal or arrest, in the most drastic cases.
The hard part of all this is that happiness is a state of mind (lifestyle) that everyone has to create in a personal and 100% responsible way, without affecting anyone else, without making it public, and being very discreet.
I am pleased that private enterprise continues to focus on its areas of action, for growth and evolution. The negotiation, (dialogue) more than government and opposition, has to be with the faith in each one of the citizens, and the desire we have for this country so that the new arrives in ease, joy, and glory, I am sure that there is something expansive for 2023!.
