✦ A small photographic compilation of part of my evening on the last night of 2024, with the purpose of starting a calm 2025, working hard but quietly - Collage & Edition in FotoJet, photos by @Tesmoforia

🇪🇸 ~ 2024 fue un año especialmente largo, muchas cosas estan ocurriendo en el planeta y nosotros, bueno, seguimos siendo seres humanos.

Las ultima semanas me he sentido especialmente humana, soy conciente de mi edad, de mi estado de salud, de mi estado anímico; me río cuando me duelen las rodillas y tomo mi café de la mañana mas despacio porque sé que el día tiene las horas que tiene y apurarme no harán que se multipliquen mágicamente.

He dejado demasiadas cosas de lado porque hasta ultimo momento estuve encargándome de distintos proyectos personales, y para el 30 y 31 de Diciembre ya sabía qué quería hacer y cómo quería pasarlo:

Tranquila, a gusto, sin correr, sin sobre esforzarme, y haciendo cosas simples que me gusten.

Las fiestas son geniales pero reconozco que estoy cansada y que valoro el silencio mas de lo que podrias imaginar.

🇺🇸 ~ 2024 has been an especially long year, many things are happening on the planet and we, well, we are still human.

The last few weeks I have felt particularly human, I am aware of my age, my state of health, my state of mind; I laugh when my knees hurt and I take my morning coffee slower, knowing that the day has the hours it has and rushing will not magically multiply them.

I have put too many things aside because I have been working on various personal projects until the last minute, and on December 30th and 31st I knew what I wanted to do and how I wanted to spend it:

Quiet, relaxed, not rushing, not overdoing it, and doing simple things that I enjoy.

The holidays are great, but I realize that I am tired and that I value silence more than you might imagine.

✦ In the early afternoon everything was very peaceful, the nephews were taking a nap ✦

✦ I don't really like alcohol but this was very nice ✦

✦ Later I would make some Christmas sweets and add some of this to them ✦

✦ The hallacas for dinner ✦

✦ At this time I needed to stretch my legs and went out for a while ✦

✦ It was getting dark ✦

1735838616528.jpg

✦ I was also waiting for the kitchen to clear up a bit so I could prepare a Christmas quesillo and a lemon cake ✦

1735838616430.jpg

✦ Whipping the cake was very relaxing and smelled quite good ✦

✦ But I couldn't get too far away from the oven because I had to make sure the cake didn't burn. I drank a lot of cream punch as I slowly finished editing Hive's post for the day ✦

✦ When it was ready I was able to put the laptop away and go put on my new New Year's clothes. In fact the 4th photo in this batch I'm sure you recognize from an extra in that post! ✦

Este año me relaje tanto que olvide tomar fotos, de hecho solo tome media docena de fotos familiares y luego me olvide del teléfono, también decidí ir a dormir temprano después de la cena para evitar la famosa "resaca de año nuevo", también me cuide mucho de no comer en exceso.

This year I relaxed so much that I forgot to take pictures, in fact I only took half a dozen family photos and then I forgot about the phone, I also decided to go to bed early after dinner to avoid the famous "New Year's hangover", I also made sure not to overeat.

✦ During each year's family dinner, beautiful words are said in a speech of thanksgiving for all the blessings we have enjoyed that year ✦

✦ Although it is very traditional, it was quite healthy, in my family we cook with little processed oil and little sugar. ✦

1735838616220.jpg

✦ And the midnight toast! ✦

1735838616022.jpg

✦ The next day a neighbor gave us a cake! ✦

1735838615973.jpg

✦ And in the evening, some very dear family friends invited us to dinner ✦

✦ The baked pork was glorious! ✦

✦ Let's hope that this year there will be more light in the world. ✦

Me alegra haber escogido pasar una Navidad y un Año Nuevo tranquilos.

Hasta ahora estos primeros 5 días de Enero han sido super productivos para mi porque no me quemé en Diciembre haciendo demasiados preparativos y rituales.

Me siento relajada, segura y a gusto; y aunque estamos pasando por un momento de la historia tumultuoso, la calma de esa noche me recuerda la vida privilegiada con la que he sido bendecida y por la que debo agradecer todos los días.

Porque no todos tienen paz mental o paz espiritual, son cosas que damos por sentado y no lo son. Hay que ser agradecidos aunque nuestra historia no sea perfecta y tenga sus arcos angustiosos.

Brindo por un año nuevo luminoso para todos, con posibilidades infinitas y conciencia plena 🫂 🌌 🧿

I'm glad I decided to have a quiet Christmas and New Year.

So far these first 5 days of January have been super productive for me because I didn't burn myself out in December with too many preparations and rituals.

I feel relaxed, confident and at ease; and even though we are going through a tumultuous time in history, the calm of this night reminds me of the privileged life I have been blessed with and for which I should be thankful every day.

Because not everyone has peace of mind or spiritual peace, these are things we take for granted and they are not. We need to be grateful, even though our story is not perfect and has its ups and downs.

Cheers to a bright new year for all, with infinite possibilities and full consciousness 🫂 🌌 🧿
