!Mira que luna! Look at that moon! Resources for learning English
Fernando Olivera: El rapto.- TEXT FROM THE NOVEL The goldfinch by Donna Tartt (...) One night we were in San Antonio, and I was having a bit of a melt-down, wanting my own room, you know, my dog, my own bed, and Daddy lifted me up on the fairgrounds and told me to look at the moon. When "you feel homesick", he said, just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go". So after he died, and I had to go to Aunt Bess -I mean, even now, in the city, when I see a full moon, it's like he's telling me not to look back or feel sad about things, that home is wherever I am. She kissed me on the nose. Or where you are, puppy. The center of my earth is you". The goldfinch Donna Tartt 4441 English edition

A YEAR AGO WE WERE TALKING ABOUT "HEALTH IN ENGLISH". 26-01-2011.


Are You Hard or Easy on Yourself?

According to new research, going easy on yourself — or having “self-compassion” — may be healthier for you. Are you hard or easy on yourself? Are you judgmental about your own flaws and inadequacies, berating yourself for not exercising more or getting better grades? Do you treat yourself as well as you treat your loved ones? Why or why not?

  1. Hi Mira. Been following your blog for a few months and this is the first time I'll comment. Love what you're sharing. Best to you in 2012.

    And yes, I think I'm too hard on myself sometimes. Self-compassion is important and yet not necessarily so easy to cultivate for those who are naturally pretty self-driven.

    Cheers, Brad

  3. Thanks a lot, Brad, for your words and for visiting the blog. I'm glad you love the information I choose daily. I agree with you: sometimes it's difficult to be tolerant with oneself. We should try to pamper ourselves frequently.
    Happy New Year to you too,
    Best wishes,
    Carmen M.
