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

La fecha es el nueve (9) de abril del año dos mil veinticuatro. (The date is April 9, 2024.)

El dicho de la semana es:

La suerte no es del que la busca sino del que la encuentra.

(The saying of the week is:     Luck does not belong to the one that searches for it but to the one that finds it.)

What do you think this Guatemalan proverb means? I think it means that people who expect lucky circumstances usually wait in vain, while others who occupy themselves with meaningful activities find luck as a reward for their efforts. I think it also applies to those who take time to reflect on the blessings in their lives and feel thankful; they are sure to feel lucky.

Practice saying this phrase whenever you feel lucky.

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

L. A. Feliz
