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

La fecha es el diecinueve (19) de marzo del año dos mil veinticuatro. (The date is March 19, 2024.)

El dicho de la semana es:

A buen amigo, buen abrigo.

(The saying of the week is:     To a good friend, a good coat.)

This Ecuadorian refrain compares a good friend to a good coat. They’re both reliable and warm. Good friends provide an emotional refuge and help us feel safe.

Practice saying this phrase whenever you confide in your good friends.
