I've had a day that i've not had in, well years I suppose. Sasha's and mates day in.
It was a fabulous time! I'd really missed it. We spent time cooking a delicious two course meal, cracked open a bottle of fine red spanish wine and just bonded all afternoon all.
We used to do this back in the day quite often, but the hustle and bustle of a career life has rendered us so busy that the only time we have, we just lie back and watch tv.
Nothing beats preparing and sharing a meal with loved ones. Its not so much the process, but the time spent in sharing an activity. The unwinding from the stress of every day life and for a moment, not having a care in the world. The afternoon seemed to have frozen in time.
I really need to take a break from all the cares of life and enjoy the finer things in life. As someone once said, to stop and smell a flower.

Yeah dude,
stop and smell a flower.
I knew I needed something like that, but discovered that it is so hard to do. To stop and smell a flower.
In the last few months, I have discovered it. I can. I can stop. And smell a flower. And look at the sky. And see the birds, and admire boys on the street.
A strange change. I can relax in the middle of life's hustle and bustle.
Enjoy yourself man.

Hey GUG,
I've noticed that on all your posts. You always start with an appreciation of what's around you! Its what psychologists call 'Self Actualisation'. Way to go!
Sasha is a psychologist.
I dont know what it is. All that I know is that many a time I used to see clouds when the sun was bright. Now that I am able to see the sun and the moon and the brilliancy of the light, I want to sing it always.
