Dos miradas en vísperas del año nuevo. (es/en) Two perspectives on the eve of the new year.

Colmado de deseos de que disfruten de un feliz y próspero año 2026, les comparto mis reflexiones sobre dos puntos de vista característicos de estos días: uno para valorar logros e insatisfacciones, y el otro para hacer una proyección futura.

Logros del 2025.
Al realizar una valoración sobre el año que termina, puedo asegurarles que me siento bendecido por varias razones:

• hemos disfrutado de salud y armonía familiar, lo cual estimo como lo más preciado.
  -Aunque nuestra hija menor emigró desde hace tres años, todos los días nos comunicamos mediante llamadas y videollamadas, lo cual mitiga la distancia.
  La mayor sorpresa la recibimos cuando nos invitó a un encuentro familiar en PUNTA CANA, pues debido a las restricciones para viajar a Cuba, ese lugar se ha convertido en la mejor opción, no solo por la extraordinaria belleza, sino tambiénpor las atencionesque se ofrecen y la privacidad para compartir en familia.

Debo confesarles que por primera vez monté en un avión, fue una experiencia inolvidable que resultó más significativa aún, porque iba acompañado de mi esposa.

El encuentro resultó estremecedor, nuestra hija y nuestros nietos no querían separarse de nosotros ni un instante. Los temas de conversación fluían con admirable facilidad, a veces nos rozaba la brisa de la nostalgia, sobre todo cuando hablábamos de nuestra hija mayor y sus pequeños, quienes no pudieron participar.
También me llena de regocijo el tiempo que compartimos co nuestra hija mayor y los dos nietos que tenemos aquí en Cuba, constantemente trato de complacerlo en todo:
• a Rosalía, que ya tiene 15 años y es muy creativa, apoyándola en sus ideas o revisando lo que escribe, pues ahora sstá escribiendo un libro, del cual les hablaré en otra oportunidad.
• a Leonardo, acompañándolo en sus juegos o reparando su bicicleta...

• otro aspecto que me resultó muy grato fue el hecho de interactuar en HIVE. Al leer las publicaciones, comentar, publicar, y disfrutar de los comentarios que amables me hacen; además de mantener la mente activa, recibo un aprendizaje de forma permanente. Todo esto, unido al beneplácito de algunas recompensas, conducen al bienestar personal.

Insatisfacciones del 2025.

El contexto en que vivimos resulta demasiado complejo, debido a una crisis económica desmenuzada, donde la inflación rebasa todos los límites. La situación se agrava aún más, con la presencia de virus, donde el chicunguya se ha entronizado, y al andar por las calles, solo se escucha hablar de sus traumatismos efectos.
En estas condiciones, esta maravillosa etapa del año ha transcurrido sin muchas emociones, y me ha llamado la atención la ausencia de los muñecos, que tradicionalmente hacen para quemarlos el 31 a las doce de la noche.

Proyecciones para el 2026.

Mis propósitos los concibo en correspondencia con el contexto en el cual vivimos, por tanto, continúo con el empeño de atender a mi familia, seguir interactuando en HIVE, y agradeciendo a Dios por todo lo bueno que nos concede.
Muchas gracias por haber leído.

ENGLISH VERSION.

Two perspectives on the eve of the new year.
With heartfelt wishes for a happy and prosperous 2026, I share my reflections on two characteristic viewpoints of this time of year: one for assessing achievements and disappointments, and the other for making future projections.

2025 Achievements. Looking back on the past year, I can assure you that I feel blessed for several reasons:

• We have enjoyed good health and family harmony, which I consider the most precious things.
• Although our youngest daughter emigrated three years ago, we communicate every day through calls and video calls, which lessens the distance. The biggest surprise came when she invited us to a family gathering in Punta Cana. Due to travel restrictions to Cuba, this place has become the best option, not only for its extraordinary beauty but also for the hospitality and privacy it offers for family time.

I must confess that it was my first time on an airplane; it was an unforgettable experience made even more meaningful by the fact that I was accompanied by my wife.

The encounter was deeply moving. Our daughter and grandchildren didn't want to leave our side for a single moment. The conversation flowed with admirable ease, and at times a touch of nostalgia touched us, especially when we spoke of our eldest daughter and her young children, who couldn't be there.
I also find great joy in the time we spend with our eldest daughter and the two grandchildren we have here in Cuba. I constantly try to please them in every way:
• Rosalía, who is now 15 and very creative, by supporting her ideas or reviewing her writing, as she is currently writing a book, which I will tell you about another time.
• Leonardo, accompanying him in his games or fixing his bicycle...

• Another aspect I found very enjoyable was interacting on HIVE. Reading posts, commenting, posting, and enjoying the kind comments I receive; besides keeping my mind active, I'm constantly learning. All of this, combined with the satisfaction of some rewards, leads to personal well-being.

Dissatisfactions of 2025.
The context in which we live is far too complex, due to a crumbling economic crisis, where inflation exceeds all limits. The situation is further aggravated by the presence of viruses, with chikungunya now rampant, and walking down the street, all one hears about is its traumatic effects. Under these conditions, this wonderful time of year has passed without much excitement, and I have noticed the absence of the effigies that are traditionally made to be burned on the 31st at midnight.

Projections for 2026.
My goals are aligned with the context in which we live; therefore, I continue to dedicate myself to my family, to remain active in HIVE, and to thank God for all the good He bestows upon us.
Thank you for reading.
