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

La fecha es el treinta y uno (31) de octubre del año dos mil veintitrés. (The date is October 31, 2023.)

El dicho de la semana es:

¿Qué es una raya más para el tigre?

(The saying of the week is:    What’s another stripe for the tiger.)

This Salvadoran saying can be used in a variety of situations. We know that tigers have several stripes, so having one more stripe won’t seem to make a big difference. If someone is asked to do something that they always have to do, this saying is appropriate. Another instance where this saying can be used is if someone has a lot of problems and a new mishap or misfortune comes along.

Practice saying this proverb whenever you observe new “stripes” in your life.

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

L. A. Feliz
