I am not used to get up this early. It's 07:51 in the morning as I type this post. I just want to thank God that I have the privilege to live another day. Despite it is cloudly outside I hope that the sun comes out, and shows me its powerful ray of light that will light up my day. I know that all of us struggle with different situations daily, and sometimes we feel like we cannot put up with no more, nonetheless I want to tell you that you can do it, you are more powerful than you think you are, and under no cirumstances let anybody convince you that you're neither capable of nor skilled enough to achieve your goals, because they do not know you. Believe in you, I hope deep down inside that your week goes fantastic, and today leads you to accomplish what you want to. God bless you all.
Photo taken at The Avila mountain in Caracas Venezuela on May 3rd,2013. Photo above shows a little view of the city, its green environment definitely makes you feel calm and relaxed.

Absolutely Anna. I go up there when I feel like leaving the city behind and all the stress that I want to get rid of.

@jvicentevalera I am not a fan of big cities. I love to live in the countryside.

@jvicentevalera Do you have a lot of pollution in your city?

@JudyEv Yes I do. It's concerning, but now my country is facing massive economical issues, so rulers don't see pollution as something important when it actually is. I hope one day it all changes Judy. :/

Thank you so much Judy, it takes sort of like 45 minutes on foot to get there, but it's worth it once you get to see all the city, and the good air that one can breathe high up there!

Yes I do. It takes 30 minutes to get there from home. It's the biggest mountain in the city, and many people go hiking every day! Once you're up there, you can feel how good air you're breathing!

Hello José, I'm glad to know that there is another Venezuelan in myLot. I just published my personal presentation entitled "We are two Venezuelans in myLot" because yesterday I met Daniela Rangel. I found out about your stay here through @WiseGhots. Then we are three and not two as I thought. I am from Caracas, but I grew up and live in the east of the country in a small city in the state of Sucre called Rio Caribe. I went to Ávila many years ago and I have not been to Caracas for many years. Wonderful photo of a little piece of caracas. I congratulate you. GOD bless you

What a beautiful picture! We have many reasons to thank Our loving Creator who gives us this earth to live in, and like Jesus said, that we are happy, if we inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5: "Happy are the mild-tempered, since they will inherit the earth."

This picture reminds me of my adopted land of Puerto Rico in the late 60s and 70s. It had lots of beautiful mountains until progress came by. Now, it looks like little New York. Consider yourself blessed with a nice view like that and enjoy it while you can.
