sitting here in our lounge at 17h00 and it is pitch dark outside and the temperature is rather low (how delicious) i think about life. life in general and what we as individuals actually strive for, what makes us who we are and is the universe expanding..... or contracting?
and then i pour myself another double shot of single malt, in this case Laphroaig {thinks...'where the fark did that capital come from?'}
and my mind calms down to an acceptable pace .... where the music sounds good, the whiskey is sublime ....
this is just a 'chat' post, simple life stuff. it is as described above, cold and dark... but i am sitting here listening to this amazing album of van morrison's ... astral weeks ... sipping on a double shot of abovementioned single malt... my lovely lady close by and all the important components of life in place .
my good lady sitting opposite me watching a series, comfortable under a blanket and next to the heater. simple things in life...
but something we all want... as in maslow's pyramid ... and i paraphrase... safety, food, shelter and belonging ... and i am grateful for all of that at this time
i posted a month ago about my personal goal i set myself... to do a 5km (3.1 mile) run in less than half an hour on christmas day. early this morning in rather cool temperatures i set out to test my progress...
let us just say i had to have a nap afterwards ... this body has accepted the passing of time despite the mind.
have a fantastic day, night, evening ...life...where ever you are on this beautiful mudball we all inhabit. thank you for spending precious life time on this blog.... i really hope you listened to the music!!!
stay safe, stay free...
