expats

what makes a country your own? most of us will say the place where we were born, raised, where our family comes from or perhaps the country that has welcome us, that has given us opportunities, a sense of security, a job, social network.  We expats know well these feelings, cannot have it all can we?  do other people understand us? well who cares. The bottom line is to feel well and live in the NOW. Recently read about the NOW, now it's all we have..... scary thought isn't it? but it also gives a sense of relief.
Did you see the little rainbow at the plaza's fountain today, did you see the beautiful puffy cloud up in the sky, did you hear your son saying something sweet, cute, funny? did you express your emotions to your loved one today?
But the truth is that living in the NOW means to not think future or past, very difficult to achieve right? except when doing something very intense that requires our full attention.
What if we don't like the NOW? what if we live of the past experiences and future hope? does life sucks then? I don't know the right answer. I only know that all 3, past, now, and future are important to feel safe and loved. The NOW it's so ephemeral, such is life.

Have sweet dreams, the summer is approaching, hot, light, rest, exhaustion, fun, sun, sea, stars, kids. When is the winter coming?

good night
