Gratitud
El jueves se celebró en Estados Unidos y Canadá el día de Acción de Gracias, una fecha en que las familias se reúnen para agradecer por las bendiciones recibidas. Es importante recordar el verdadero sentido de esta fiesta, la expresión de gratitud, antes que pensar en comida, partidos de fútbol o compras.

This past Thursday was the Thanksgiving celebration in the United States and Canada, a date where families get together to thank for the blessings received. It is important to remember the real meaning of this holiday, which is being grateful, before thinking about food, football games or shopping.

Poem of friendship, by Jorge Luis Borges
I cannot give you solutions to all life’s problems,
Nor do I have answers to your doubts or fears
But I can listen to you and share it with you
I cannot change neither your past nor your future.
But when you need me I’ll be by your side.
I cannot prevent you from stumbling
I can only offer you my hand to hold on to you so you won’t fall.
Your joys, your victories, your successes are not mine.
But I truly enjoy it when I see you happy.
I do not judge the decisions you take in life.
I constrain myself to support you, to stimulate and to help you if you ask me to.
I cannot draw limits for you within which you must act,
But I can offer you the space needed to grow.
I cannot avert your sufferings when some pain is breaking your heart.
But I can cry with you and pick up the pieces to armour it again.
I cannot tell you who you are, nor who you should be.
I can only love you as you are and be your friend.
These days, I have been thinking about my friends, amongst whom you appeared.
You were neither on top, nor at the bottom, nor in the middle.
You were not heading nor concluding the list.
You were not the first number, nor the last.
And neither do I pretend to be the first, the second, or the third on your list.
It’s enough if you want me as a friend.
Thank you for being one.
