¡Hoy es martes meditativo! (Today is meditative Tuesday!)
La fecha es el siete (7) de enero del año dos mil veinticinco. (The date is January 7, 2025.)
El dicho de la semana es:
Oveja que bala, bocado que pierde.
(The saying of the week is: A sheep that bleats, a mouthful that it loses.)
This Spanish refrain is commonly used in Bolivia to show how one can lose out on important matters by occupying oneself with useless things. It’s often said to a person who tends to talk a lot.
Practice saying this phrase whenever you find yourself wasting time on activities without benefit.

¡Que tengas un martes mejorable! (May you have an improvable Tuesday!)
