SUPERSTICIÓN / SUPERSTITION = “SUPERSTITION” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about superstitions.

Superstition is defined as: excessive credulous belief in and reverence for the supernatural.

Supernatural: attributed to some force beyond scientific.

Basically if one were superstitious they would have a belief in something that would not be a fact of science and associate the reason the thing they do or do not do with something that does not make sense outside of the superstitious influence.

For example there are athletes who wear the same socks they had on on when they won a game of significance (first game, tournament, championship etc) and continue to wear those same socks every time they play a game because they believe that the socks might have been the reason they won. Now those socks are “lucky” socks even though there is no way to say for certain that the socks were the reason they won when wearing them.

Other superstitions include knocking your knuckles on wood when somebody says something in reference to a future result that they may want or not want to occur with a belief that by “knocking on wood” it would increase the chance of their desired result.

The date on today’s post is the 13th and it is a Friday. Some people believe that the date (13th) and day of the week (Friday) when together creates something more than just the calendar showing the number of days that have gone by that month and the day of the week it currently is with the belief that negative things will happen.

I am writing this post on June 15th and nothing bad happened last Friday just in case you were wondering 😊

Another popular superstition that involves a day of the year was referenced in a previous post on our blog is St. Patrick’s Day. Those who do not wear green are pinched by those who observe the holiday and give themself permission to pinch you based on Irish Folklore referencing a pinching leprechaun.

I do not have any superstitions that I follow or practice but I am a fan of routines. Some could say doing things the same way in the same order for a specific thing can be somewhat superstitious. I think of it more an intent to be consistent.

Do you do anything that could be considered superstitious?

Today, for you, I have a post about our scheduled visit.

Unfortunately you were not feeling well and we had to postpone the day we will reconnect.

Fortunately, we will not have to wait long because we have another visit scheduled in 2 weeks!

I am still just as excited to see you (obviously)! Another two weeks does not feel like it is that different considering the amount of time since we last got to hang out but trust me, if it was up to me I would have not had such a timespan between seeing you.

It will always be something I look forward to when it comes to the idea of when I will see you next but my intention is to not have long time periods in between and also have consistency when we see one another.

I love you so much that it makes me happy just thinking about having something on the calendar and as of right now, I have a time and date we will get to have that moment I have been looking forward to so much for so long.

It has been a long time coming and without going into detail a tremendous amount of effort and patience has been apart of the reason we have these upcoming chill sessions.

I have something for you and I hope you like it, you will see soon. Until then, our daddy daughter date is just around the corner.

See ya soon!

CABALLO / CHEVAL = “HORSE” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about horses.

I do not remember the first time I was on a horse but I believe it was on the back of a pony that was attached to a pole that was apart of a “carousel” with a number of other ponies that you sometimes see at a county fair. I do remember that one of your first times on a horse was the same type of scenario.

I have gone on a few horse excursions as an adult in Michigan, Texas and my favorite time in Hawaii. It was not the horse specifically that made it my favorite time but the views while riding the horse.

I have had a horse gallop a few times but never for an extended period of time, probably less than a minute.

I like horses, they are beautiful animals and I will definitely ride a horse again in the future.

Maybe next time I am on the back of a horse I will get to experience what it feels like to ride a gallop for more than a minute 😉.

Here are some interesting facts about horses:

### 🧬 **Biological & Anatomical Facts**

1. **360° Vision (almost!)**: Horses have eyes on the sides of their heads, allowing them to see nearly 360 degrees. They do have a small blind spot directly in front and behind them.

2. **No Vomiting**: Horses can't vomit due to the structure of their digestive system. This makes colic (a digestive disorder) potentially very dangerous for them.

3. **Unique Sleep Habits**: Horses can sleep both standing up and lying down. They have a "stay apparatus" in their legs that lets them lock their legs and rest without falling over.

4. **Powerful Memory**: Horses have excellent long-term memory. They can remember people and other horses even after long periods apart.

---

### 🐎 **Behavior & Intelligence**

5. **Highly Social**: Horses are herd animals and thrive in social groups. They form strong bonds with other horses and even with humans.

6. **Complex Communication**: Horses communicate through vocalizations (whinnies, snorts), body language, and even facial expressions.

7. **Facial Recognition**: Studies have shown that horses can recognize human emotions and remember facial expressions they've seen before.

---

### 🏇 **History & Human Interaction**

8. **Domesticated \~6,000 Years Ago**: Horses were first domesticated on the steppes of Central Asia around 4,000 BCE.

9. **Cultural Importance**: Horses have been pivotal in human history—used in warfare, agriculture, transportation, and sport across almost every civilization.

10. **Horse Breeds**: There are over 350 breeds of horses, ranging from the tiny **Falabella** (about the size of a medium dog) to the giant **Shire horse**, one of the tallest and strongest.

---

### 🌍 **Record Holders**

11. **Fastest Horse**: The fastest recorded sprint by a horse was 55 mph (88.5 km/h) by a Quarter Horse.

12. **Oldest Horse**: The oldest known horse was *Old Billy*, who lived to be 62 years old in the 18th–19th century in England.

What is your favorite thing about horses?

GOOD MORNING TO THE SON AND THE SKY❕👋🏼

SUDOKU / SUDOKU = “SUDOKU” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about SUDOKU including a sudoku puzzle (you may remember these from my hand written letters).

The word “sudoku” is Japanese and roughly translates to “single number” or “number is single”.

I hope you enjoyed the puzzles I have sent to you previously and the reason today’s puzzle I will share is more easy than some of the previous puzzles I sent you is because one of you may not have seen this type of puzzle before so it is meant to be solved by someone new to sudoku.

I was trying to think of a puzzle that I could post on this blog and without redirecting with a link the thing that made the most sense that would be able to be posted was a number puzzle.

In the future I may set up a portion of my other website to be redirected to from our blog that will allow more interactive features.

From time to time I like to include words from our “word of the day” located near the top of each post to be a word that remains the same in any language to highlight the fact that a name (noun) remains the same in any language although some people will attempt to translate it in various ways but John is always John even though there may be versions of the name in another language it will still be John not Juan unless your name is Juan.

Here is the puzzle below: Enjoy❕

The puzzle below is a square with 4 squares inside (highlighted with bold lines) that each contain 4 squares. Solve puzzle by putting a 1, 2, 3 and 4 in each bold square and having each vertical and horizontal line containing 1, 2, 3 and 4. There is only one way to do it so if you notice one of the bold squares has a number used more than once or if in any up and down or left to right lines contains a duplicate number that means one or more of the numbers is not in the correct position. Good Luck!

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about getting up in the morning.

Waking up and getting up are two different things.

Sometimes when my alarm goes off in the morning I will hit “snooze” which triggers the alarm to go off again in 9 minutes. On days like this I woke up twice and got up once.

If the alarm was set for something important then even if I am tired I will get up because if I hit snooze I am putting unneeded pressure on myself to prepare with less time for something important.

I am good about getting to the place and time but working on removing the anxiety of arriving late by getting better with the planning of time management and following through with the plan.

I also think it is best to not have to “drag” myself out of bed because I did not plan ahead and or follow through with getting quality rest the night before.

In the future I will be saying get up instead of wake up when planning ahead to include the part that is important, getting up.

ENTRENAR / S’INTRAÎER = “TO TRAIN (practicing)” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about what I refer to as “Solo Assist”.

Imagine that you had another version of you. This other version we will call your shadow. Imagine that your shadow is just like you and does everything you do while you are doing it. Shadow thinks and feels the same way you do about any thing you might think about or how you would feel about something. Like a shadow Shadow moves when you do but only when you move. Your shadow will never move before you just like Shadow will never move before you do although you move first Shadow is not slower than you because like a shadow Shadow is moving the same time you move.

Now shadow is just as special, unique and amazing as you however because shadow exist as a mirror to your actions and is not always visible Shadow does not get the support you do as what is experienced however Shadow receives the same support you receive but is not addressed or interacted with because Shadow mirrors you.

If you need help with something you can ask for help but Shadow needs you to do what you want to do so Shadow can mirror that experience. So if you need support, Shadow needs support.

Every waking moment Shadow is by your side and even when you sleep Shadow is sleeping right beside you. Shadow is not lonely because Shadow has you but unfortunately Shadow never gets noticed by others until you are noticed first.

Imagine how grateful shadow would be if you were to think about this and started to include Shadow in your experiences by supporting Shadow.

The thing that is beautiful about this is although you are supporting Shadow by acknowledging Shadow and trying to include Shadow in decisions and planning your mutual daily experience, you are actually helping two people.

You are helping Shadow but because Shadow only moves when you move, the support and kindness you show to Shadow is helping you at the same time.

You could say that you are supporting yourself but in this story, you aren’t thinking about just you when going through your daily experience because you are thinking about Shadow. Imagine someone who has always been by your side but never leading the way yet mirroring your day creating two experiences with the same effort and actions.

Maybe when you are going about your day you forget shadow is with you but then you walk outside and the sun is shining bright and in the moment you notice your shadow you are reminded that Shadow was with you the whole time.

It could be kinda cool for Shadow if you asked Shadow how they were doing that day or what they might want to do next. The answer to any question you might ask Shadow is how you would answer that question if somebody asked you.

You can trust Shadow to never tell anything to anyone you would not tell yourself because shadow would never do something you will not do because shadow never leaves your side and depends on you to experience each day.

You obviously can talk to me about anything. But if you want to talk to somebody about anything big or small try running it by Shadow. It is simple to talk to Shadow you just talk out loud. To get a response listen to yourself ask the question or say what you wanted to share. When you listen to yourself say it to Shadow there is a real version of you that exist that has something to say in response to what you said or feels a certain way about what you said. You do not have to wait any longer than if you were talking to anybody else to get a response from Shadow. All you need to do is be honest with yourself when listening to your own voice say what you said out loud and your thoughts and feelings about what you said when listening to your own voice is the response of Shadow.

So the point of the story is this. You have the ability to support yourself in a way that you are not alone when listening to your voice. You are speaking out loud but you are also listening to someone. And although that “someone” is you, you know that “someone” better than anybody just like that someone knows you better than anybody and can trust completely that “someone” to respond to you honestly. Say kind things to yourself and listen to your voice say it. It is not just thinking it, it is thinking it, saying it out loud and listening as if someone else was saying these kind things to you. We can often be our own biggest critic yet we seldom are our own biggest supporter.

Solo assist.

I talk to myself all the time. I call it thinking out loud. Over the many years of doing this I can tell you that I have trust in myself in a way that when I hear my own voice say something out loud the second it leaves my lips I know if what I said is how I really feel. If I feel like there is a part of me that hears my words and does not agree with or support what I said, I know this is something I need to think about more. It does not mean I was being dishonest or wrong but it tells me that this is not something that I have thought about enough to be as confident when I say something like “I love my kids.”. There is not a single part of me that hears my voice say “I love my kids” that would challenge that statement. In fact every part of me could not agree more.

IMAGINACIÓN / IMAGINATION = “IMAGINATION” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about the imagination, specifically my imagination.

Every day, and I literally mean every day, I think about you. I have said this before but to just say “I think of you” is not doing justice to the extent that this is true.

Not only are you on my mind but I use my mind to imagine us spending time together. I never imagine anything that would result in what I believe anything you wouldn’t want.

Love, strength, fun, pride, and growth are just some of the themes often present.

I imagine future dates of events that I hope and intend on being actual experiences we have together.

I think about you as a baby and a kid, as an adult and even an old person 👵🏻👴🏻

I imagine what you might be doing in real life in the past, present and future but I also create fantastical events and worlds that we could exist in as if I was watching an adventure fantasy movie with you both as the main characters and me in a supporting role (I have seen some pretty sweet stuff 😉).

It is probably true (I am just now thinking about this and would say it is true) there are days I imagine you more than me when using my imagination.

You have given me so many memories that are only in my head but when I remember those things that I imagined, they feel like I am remembering something as real as any fond and loving memory from our past would make me feel.

I go to these “happy places” in my mind , with you the ones I love , because I miss you and to be honest it kinda feels like we are hanging out so I also go there simply because I want to and it is fun.

I can only imagine what you think of this post… until you let me know one day yourself 🐺

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about the goose.

I see geese all the time when walking around the city. You might not expect to hear someone say this but like you I live on the Grand River as it runs through each of our cities. Because of the proximity to the river there is an abundance of waterfowl to observe.

As you know geese are actually quite big especially when compared to ducks. I will often see a gaggle of goslings following there mother (group of young or baby geese) and depending on how old the young are they look more like or different than the mom.

The young geese have different types of feathers and are also a different color. Eventually the fluffy “down” feathers will be replaced with the flight feathers seen on adults. I took a picture of some geese today and I can not say for sure but I think I seen the same gaggle not long ago when the goslings were more fluffy.

Here are some interesting facts about geese and also Canadian geese specially as they are the birds in the picture I will share below:

---

🐣 Fun Facts About Baby Geese (Goslings):

1. They can walk and swim on their first day!
   Baby geese are super fast learners—they’re ready to go just hours after they hatch!
2. They follow their parents everywhere.
   When they hatch, the first thing they see becomes “mom and dad.” So they follow their real parents… or sometimes even a person!
3. They grow up really fast.
   In just 10 weeks, a gosling can grow as big as a grown-up goose!
4. They stay with their families for a long time.
   Baby geese don’t just grow up and fly away—they stay with their parents for almost a whole year!
5. They love grass!
   Their favorite food is grass, and they nibble on it all day long with their family.

---

🪿 Fun Facts About Canadian Geese:

1. They marry for life.
   Mommy and daddy goose stay together forever—like best friends who never leave each other.
2. They fly in a big V shape.
   This cool flying trick helps them go super far without getting tired. They even take turns leading!
3. They remember their favorite places.
   Every year, they go back to the same pond or field to lay eggs and raise babies.
4. They are super protectors.
   If you get too close to their babies, they might hiss or chase you to keep their family safe!
5. They live in cities too!
   Canadian geese like parks, ponds, and even golf courses. They’re not just wild—they’re great at living near people.
6. They can live a long time.
   Some geese live more than 20 years—almost like grandparents!

GOOD MORNING TO THE SON AND THE SKY❕👋🏼

DIENTES / DENTS = “TEETH” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about my teeth. Specifically, the gap or gaps between my teeth especially my front teeth.

When I was in 10th grade I got braces on my teeth. I was supposed to have them for 2-3 years however in 12th grade I wanted to join the ARMY and I was not able to go to bootcamp with braces.

I went to the orthodontist to get my braces off early and although he did not say he would not do it for me he did advise me that if I were to get the braces off early my teeth would not settle in the way that the initial plan intended them to do.

He used his hand to describe the pattern my teeth would move and I understood what he said in the moment but my desire to join the ARMY was more than my desire to have perfect teeth.

I did understand what he was saying but I did not know that the decision was not something I could make and have the ability to know how I would feel later in time when the consequences of removing my braces early was realized.

Years later and I mean many years later (over a decade) I began to develop a gap between my front teeth. Over the course of the next decade the gap became bigger and with the bigger gap it changed the appearance of my teeth and smile.

There would be a moment when I saw the gap as something that was less than desirable but it came at a point in my life when I had less of a concern with my smile and photos of me smiling so that the gap was less of a concern.

If I could go back I would have kept my braces on for the proper amount of time because I did not leave for the ARMY until after they were scheduled to be removed but due to a recruiter essentially dropping the ball my date was moved back for eligibility.

I did in fact as you are aware eventually join the ARMY and served my contract. Now that I have a gap in my teeth it comes in the form of a reminder of a few things. I rarely ever think about the gap and when I do it almost always is when someone is pointing out the gap that was not always there.

I smile more now than I ever have than I can remember and even when taking photos I still smile ear to ear without any shame or concern of my teeth.

The other reminder is over time we can make choices that do not come to bear the result of our decision until much later. These can be good or bad depending on how you look at it but in the case of my teeth it was a good thing that included some negative aspects.

Sometimes I think about getting braces again to fix my teeth but I care less about my smile than what could be the benefits of having braces again. However braces do not just fix your teeth. Braces (as you know) can also fix the alignment of your jaw and if I develop an issue with chewing while eating I would then probably get braces because it is not a matter of aesthetic but a practical decision that would fix a physical ailment.

At one point in my life it is possible the aesthetic would be the only motivation needed to want to fix my teeth but at this point in my life I am comfortable with who I am including my smile.

Cheers to smiling without concern!
