Chelita is a grown and married woman, but because she is her mother's only daughter, she still calls her Chelita.

Greetings dear friends, once again I find myself on almost the last day of this old year. I continue to share the stories of " Chelita",** she who is the product of a Self Narrator.

It's December 31st, for Chela it's just an ordinary day, the end of the month, a month that is made special by having her family at home. She feels fortunate about this. Why? Because for many families, being at home together, in the house of the family is already a thing of the past. In conversations with neighbors and friends one always hears those long breaths called sighs, longing for the past.

Many do not admit it, no, they prefer to pretend to be well, that they do not miss that son, that brother, that husband, that friend. They prefer to tell those stories that many tell and that they are doing wonderfully. But alone they mourn that departure, they feel that great emptiness left by those who left.

But Chela knows what these people feel, she is not indolent. That is why that night before going to sleep she prays to her Almighty God:

Jehovah, omnipotent and supreme God.
Once again I turn to you loving Father
to thank you, first for life
for all the experiences of this day.

Where I had the joy of eating and doing it
In the company of my beloved family, my children and husband.
Grateful for the sun, the breeze and all the elements.
I thank you for each one of the teachings I had today.

Holy Father, another day will dawn and it will be another day, another month, another year
That will bring the same worries of today
But I am aware that you will also provide a way out of all of them.
I know that your ear is inclined to our petitions, you care for us.

Loving God, strengthen my resolve to do the right thing
To reach out to those who need it, to help those in need.
Today there are so many needs, especially emotional and spiritual needs.
Let me have the strength to make your name known.

Father, I make a special request to you, give strength and courage
To my friends, brothers, sisters and family so that they may face
The difficult situations they are going through at the present time.
Give them your guidance and protection, give them peace and harmony in their homes.

All these words blessed God I send them to you
With the being that you have arranged as mediator
Between you and mankind, namely the one and only King and leader
Our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!

After that Chela, settles into her bed and closes her eyes until she wakes up to a new day full of opportunities and new experiences that will make her a better person, a better daughter, a better mother, a better wife, a better friend, in short it will be an opportunity to better herself.
