\u00a1Hello Warriors!<\/p>\n

We continue the fight against GSD with more stories from our Warriors In Action, our WIA, in this occasion I would like to talk about “the meditators” mission.<\/p>\n

You know what? Those few days that I left the hospital and went to the seaside were some of the best in my life. It was the first time I saw the sea. So huge, beautiful, enchanting… you look at it and forget all the problems. I even forgot for a while about GSD! Although it was not a long break, GSD is always there, and we soon had to measure my level of glucose in blood… but it was a good disconnection anyway.<\/p>\n

During my walks along the seaside I was super excited. Plenty of new discoveries: new people, animals, trees, flowers, colours, the sunset, the sunrise, new smells… I was also touching everything I could and my parents were a bit worried about the neutropenia and the potential infections so they were cleaning my hands all the time! I would have also liked to try many new flavors. I am a bit limited in that\u00a0sense\u00a0due to my\u00a0strict diet and the fact that I cannot eat through my mouth, but I managed to try a few new things… Tasty calamari!!!<\/p>\n

So well, I was super happy, with my surprise face you can see in the picture below, trying to see everything from my NinaCar, forward, backward, upward… I needed more time and eyes to avoid missing any detail!<\/p>\n

It called my attention the fact that a lot of people were with their heads down. Walking, sitting down, even running or driving, all looking down. I was wondering why people would look down having so many beautiful things around to look at.<\/p>\n

We have this word in Spanish “cabizbajo” which could be translated as “crestfallen” or dejected. From my limited baby knowledge, I understood that “cabizbajo” was used for those people looking down because of sadness, worries…etc. However, those guys seemed to be a new type of “cabizbajo” because some of them were actually laughing. I could not understand it.<\/p>\n

Later on I realized they had something between their hands. Some kind of device with a screen they were touching with their fingers. Then, again, I wondered, what\u00a0could be so special about those devices to call so much people’s attention, specially considering how beautiful the sea, the sunset, the surroundings were. Maybe I am too young to understand all this.<\/p>\n

Anyway, back to our cause, let me tell you about the latest WIA accomplishment:<\/p>\n

While so many people rush everywhere with no much time for things that really matter – living in parallel realities through a screen – the meditating WIA took the time for introspection, for mindfulness and for solidarity with those little ones affected by GSD. They organized a meditating session and part of the money raised was donated to promote GSD 1b research.<\/p>\n

\u00a1THANK YOU SO MUCH MEDITATING WIA!<\/p>\n

Warriors, if you feel like doing a similar activity regarding any other discipline, sport, conferences…etc., please do not hesitate to contact me!<\/p>\n

Plenty of NinaHug for all of you and many kisses to my Great aunt Merce, my aunty Laura, Enrique, Isabel and all those meditators that were around \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
