My girlfriend was on vacation in France and she sent me and another dozen of her friends her impressions by mail. I told her that she should open a blog and send the file through her blog. Then I remembered that I once opened a blog forgot all about it very fast and then remembered and then forgot about it again.
Now I'm back again with so many things on my mind and nothing particular. Politics interests me always but the more I read about global politics, the more I find that nothing exciting happens or at least things that happen are open to so many interpretations and I don't know which will survive. I have a few thumb rules that I adopted through the years such as help the most needy the weakest without thinking of the outcome or if it will help eventually. Just help and move on. This moving on business is something that I found to be very helpful in life so you carry as little traces and grudges as possible.
Also writing has something therapeutic and this comforts me somewhat. The calmer I'm, the more mindful I am, the more things I achieve. Meaning I do more things that I enjoy such as running systematically, learning Arabic sporadically, dieting not unsuccessfully, traning moderately, keeping relations with family and friends at levels that minimise conflict and gives me some joy. I also started doing some meditation and visualization and together with my efforts to be aware of mindfull actions and decisions. All these, it seems to me, ameliorates my coping with everyday life in contradistinction with the ravages of getting ahead in age. I'm already 66 and I wonder how many more years or months or weeks or days I have with, as much as possible, a well functioning mind and body...
I guess I'll stop here hoping to come back soon. If anybody, by chance, gets to read what I wrote today,please leave a comment and lets start a discussion or simply sharing of ideas. Thank you,
Miriam
