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

La fecha es el veinte (20) de agosto del año dos mil veinticuatro. (The date is August 20, 2024.)

El dicho de la semana es:  

Por defender lo suyo, hasta los mudos hablan.

(The saying of the week is:        To defend what is theirs, even the mute speak.)

As a parent, this Chilean proverb causes me to think of the lengths people go through to protect their children. What possessions would cause you to fight at any cost?

Practice saying this phrase whenever you must stand your ground.

¡Que tengas un martes mayúsculo!        (May you have a tremendous Tuesday!)

L. A. Feliz
