Letting go or giving up?

Finally the holidays are here! Early monday morning "larnaca - now boarding" and the wonderful, sunny, happy journey with The Love of my life starts :)

This summer has been different for me in many ways. After having major age chrisis (my first one ever) and having to face the fact that my physical body is never going to be that'all mighty'one again, I feel good, strong and serene. Never felt like this before.How I this time managed to do that? - It was not easy, but I finally learned to let go....

It's so easy trying to live the buddhist lifestyle when everything is fine. And forget all as soon a chrisis hits you. BUT sooner or (like me) later you remember all you have learned and can see the 'big picture'. Everything is constantly changing..Suffering ends when craving and attachment (to thigs, thoughts, feelings, people..) ends, when one is freed from desire. "awareness to see things for what they are with clear consciousness, being aware of the present reality within oneself, without any craving or aversion" - letting go.

I also know that although I'm serene now, doesn't mean I will stay that way, because here we go again: everything is changing, nothing lasts ;)

And with 'now' I litterally mean just right now, this moment, this minute, because "For yesterday is but a dream, And tomorrow only a vision".

Because I have been so serious with you I will share with you these old, classic goodies that allways make me laugh (loud)
