#Eso Que Tú Me Das....what you give me
Estamos acostumbrados a ser escuchados, que no a escuchar. Nos gusta mucho pedir y recibir, mucho más que dar, y rara es la vez que damos sin esperar nada a cambio.
Lo que me ha pasado últimamente es justo lo contrario, he recibido mucho sin pedir ni esperar nada. Cosas buenas, muy buenas: cariño, afecto, respeto, amor, de gente a la que conocía y de gente a la que no. Muchos eran, como dice mi amigo Mikel Erentxun, amigos desconocidos que con sus palabras de aliento me hicieron superar momentos difíciles. Gente supongo que de todo tipo (amigos desconocidos) que quisieron ayudarme y que precisamente por no conocernos, no esperaban nada de mi.

We are used to being heard, not to listening. We like to ask and receive a lot, much more to give, and it is rare that we give without expecting anything in return.
What has happened to me lately is just the opposite, I have received a lot without asking or expecting anything. Good things, very good: affection, respect, love, from people he knew and from people he did not. Many were, as my friend Mikel Erentxun says, unknown friends who with their words of encouragement made me overcome difficult moments. I suppose that of all kinds (unknown friends) who wanted to help me and precisely because they did not know us, they did not expect anything from me.

I took his thanks and made it mine, finding no better words than these to thank you, Flickr friends, for your friendship. Why now? Well, between the end of a year and the beginning of a new one, you always take stock. On the "negative" scale it is better not to look, on the positive scale you are there too, and hence my thanks.
