¡Hoy es martes meditativo!     (Today is meditative Tuesday!)

La fecha es el diecinueve (19) de septiembre/setiembre del año dos mil veintitrés. (The date is September 19, 2023.)

El dicho de la semana es:  

saludar con sombrero ajeno

(The saying of the week is:     greeting with someone else’s hat)

This Bolivian phrase refers to the tradition of taking off one’s hat to greet another person. Imagine taking credit for greeting someone when another person takes off their hat. To say that a person “greets with someone else’s hat” means that a person is taking credit for someone else’s work.

Practice saying this proverb whenever you observe someone taking credit for work they didn’t do.

¡Que tengas un martes mantenido!     (May you have a maintained Tuesday!)

L. A. Feliz
