Our best laid plans...

[silvak]

Saying goodbye wondering whether it's for the last time...Starting something new hoping it will flourish...Meeting someone new wishing they don't hurt you...Fears and insecurities that are always there.Never leaving,never ending.Some days they seem to edge away,only to come back with a strange force.Is it then that we show our strength?Is it then

Hi K.

I loved reading your thoughts and felt quite close to you while doing so. I too always have these deep questions and seldom have many answers. And by the way, I know I suck at keeping in touch regularly. Sorry, sorry.

Do we ever learn to live for now and not bother ourselves with great and glory-filled plans for a tomorrow that we never understand it has already become today?Do we ever stop waiting to live our lives and just start living them?

Living in the present is so hard. Dogs are great about living in the now. My husband reminded me of that yesterday, how dogs are like: Hey! A dirty smelly sock! Cool! Wow. An apple core for me? Walk? Did you say walk? (tail wags).

I wish I could be more like that.

Well,I haven't been better really,but what counts is that we do get in touch and when we do is beautifull ;-)

The last few years I was waiting for school to be over,so I could start my life at uni...Now,I'm thinking about finishing uni to begin my life as...an I don't know what.LOL!It's a rare feeling to be satisfied where I am and sometimes it's tiring to constantly thinking about something I don't have and I desire...And I agree dogs have much more wisdom than us in that subject...

BTW,your family's pics were really beautiful...And it was nice to put a name with a face...

Take care,

Katerina

It is hard to live in the present. Aristotle well said that humans are special because they are able (well most of them) to leave immediate pleasure behind to look forward to an ultimate goal.

Btw, I had a weird dream. I was visiting Athens and did nothing but go to a student canteen where Greek pop was playing loudly, and in my table, there were people who were speaking Greek and English.

Sometimes it's too hard!My life has some good parts and some not so good.I tend to focus to the bad ones,wishi,hoping to change them and I forget what good there is,what I have done so far,what people I have by my side...And to be honest I don't think it's so much about that "ultimate goal",more that this unsatisfied feeling.I am more with Beaudelaire who wrote that "This life is a hospital,where each patient wants to change bed".

Your dream was a bit weird indeed...But at least you were in Athens,no??;-)
