Really, It’s a Pet?

The love for my dog is stronger than I imagined. Sometimes, people have pets. Sometimes, people have dogs, cats and birds as friends and members of their family. When I was single, my dog came to be my perfect roommate. Each night, “Khan” (my dog) was there, waiting for me hours and hours. He listened, cried, smiled beside me.
I miss my dog every day. He gave the most genuine sentiments that I had ever felt. Completely, he offers me the most honest and unselfish affection. A man I dated only a few times told me that single people get dogs as a "replacement" for a healthy relationship with someone and that some people use children as a "replacement" for what they should have. Maybe this is true, maybe it’s false; or it could be that I dislike him.
Single people, especially, desire and need someone to love. When you need to express love and extend love, you can do so to an animal, a child, or a friend. Having my dog, I got lessons in life. Usually, we are not prepared to love, but practice, practice and more practice was an excellent exercise. Doing that with my dog was an adventure that helps to me in all my relationships.
“Khan” my German Shepard came to be an incentive for me while my fiancé appeared. I had learned to express my feelings; actually, I still working on that, but my best teacher was my pet.
I suggest not walking through a life without a dog. He or she will keep you company, possibly protect you, and make you more approachable to others for sure!

Admittedly, a coffee drinker

Coffee has been part of my life, for a long time. When I was a child, I remember the strong aroma of coffee. My mom left me at my grandmother’s home while she was working. “Magdalena” was my neighbor, and I called her Grandma. She drank a cup of coffee every afternoon at the same hour. Of course, I did the same thing at least for my first 7 years at my grandma’s house. We drank “guayoyo”; it’s more water than coffee.
Always, a cup a coffee has been in my hands in each moment of my life. I can’t imagine any other thing. The power that this beverage gives to me is incredible. I drink coffee to wake up or to help me go to sleep, to be happy or to calm my anxiety. I especially drink coffee to think; it is like a motor to my brain.
Not too hot, no too cool, brown, with whipped cream and a little bit of cinnamon on the top. This is my perfect recipe. However, when I drink coffee depends of the weather, hour or the circumstances in my life. For example, from Starbuck coffee store, in the morning I prefer a tall caramel macchiato, and in the afternoon, I like grande peppermint mocha. But after dinner, I like a café bonbon. It is strong black coffee with condensed milk.
Drinking coffee has come to be a ritual for me; I love to put my feet under the table in a public place and a cup of coffee on the table. Can you imagine, a rich and smooth café in an ultra cozy and unpretentious space? And to complete my ideal status, my PowerBook or magazine, on a quiet and rainy afternoon. Definitely, I am a coffee girl, my philosophy is “Life is good, enjoy every sip”.
