I awoke this morning to the chimming sounds of my alarm. It seemed louder thann usually buzzing about a constant reminder of the current hour 7:45. I rolled over towards the window and through the Spanish shades could see the frigidness of the morning creeping in. Then my eyes met the darkness of my lids as i snoozed for another 2 hours peacefully.Eventually i arose to my feet as the coldness of the marble floors in ym house shot up through my entire body and the 3 layers i produly sported. Another day here in Granada to which i began listening to Polish music which was pefrect and provoked deep thought and meditation on sucha dreary day. The coldness in Spain and the constant rain is the type that makes you want to heat a hearty bowl of thick stew or pierogi, the two sound like heaven right now :). The minutes rolled by as i reflected and looked around my new apartment. I moved in 3 days ago in the pouring rain, 2 suitcases in hand, 2 bags of groceries and 20 Euros to get me to the new desitnation. A taxi quickly rumbled around the corner as a man with a mustache carried my bags and my soaked self to my new location. 5 Euros later and 3 gospel choir songs i was at my new location. 2 hours later i was moved in, signed my new lease to my new home, it was heaven. Now sitting at my desk this dreary morning listening to " Jak anioła głos" a polish song, im smiling as i think about all the things i could do today, should do today, and want to do today. However my bones and body remind me of the hectic past month as i sink deeper into my leather chair.
I decided this morning that during my time here i want to gain complete fluency in my language and will register for a course in Spanish here while i continue the job search. Additionally i decided i wanted to gain fluency in all my languages and refuse to sacrifice my knowledge of the others just for the sake of one, which provoked the following thought and list. What do i want out of life?" I compiled a list and set it aside chuckling from time to time at the list and order to which they revealed themselves. I suggest you all do the same. Bescuase when you stop and think about it, how short is life, how precious is it? How many opportuntiies do you have to go after what you really want, without all the facades or pressure of our current culture, which blidnly states that we go to school, we get a job, we work 9-5, we collect at 60 and then we retire to beach chairs in st. barts trying to live off of the money that the government didnt steal from us in taxes. A bold statement but the truth is it not? Whatever happened to the sense of adventure, the dreams we had as children when we had immaginations, no worries, and knew what we wanted , liked and loved, our three main verbs of our vocabulary. When did we lose it and most importantly how can we get it back? So i ask all of you as i have reflected myself, make a list, write it down, store it on your fridge but in a place you can see it to remind yourself of what is important to you in this life and remember always to let the beauty of what you love, be what you do.
Un besito
życzę ci miłego dnia
Worldly Woman
Songs of the day:
Feel-Jak anioła głos
Negramaro- Un passo indietro
