siesta thoughts

Siesta time on my last full day in my little paradise, and again I don’t want to leave and I am planning on when to come back. Things are great as ever and a little bit extra is added, this time round I got to know a nice Galician guy who makes me happy and smile. He is a no fuzz person and definitely with two feet firmly on the ground. I would say just what the doctor ordered. We have had just a couple of meetings but we hit it of on the right note and I am a happy person, truly I have couldn’t expected this. Surprised but happy, and way to early to hope for much more, but you know sometimes it is nice to dream, even more when you feel so comfortable in his presence. When I am in bed at night my mind wanders, almost like every moment on the beach, but it seems that with age you want to go things to go at a faster speed even though you know haste is seldom a good way for things to go. But I am content, I try to accept things as they happen and I am happy. Trying to let go of the bad things and embracing the good things, for in the end how ever much we try we can not change destiny. Do I hear someone shout we can? Well my friend I believe in a lot but I think destiny just has to happen. I have to take control of so much in life that in this case I hand it over to Mr. Faith. For I like to be surprised sometimes, it adds flavor to my life I noticed, even though I might not like all faith has in store for me, but here I am, made off all these ingredients of life, but still happy. So tell me why should I change that? Indeed no reason to do so. 

Being back with the family is great and there is much more life in the party at the moment and I needed to adjust to that, but we are such a family that changes, adaption and all other stuff flows into this big happening and we deal with it. With my ow brothers and sisters there is a different bond, it’s the one given by my parents, this is the one that grows and keeps growing and giving. Truly blessed with my friends, my Spanish family and my own of course. A few years ago I needed an escape from life from people and I found it here with different people, with my family. Year should make you wiser and I am at a age where I could have welcomed my grandchild but instead it is handed to me to stay in a different state, don’t know if I can call it younger, for that would not be the truth, but it is like I am a break in life, where living it is the important thing, why should we be to busy with getting older if staying at a status quo is so much nicer. Indeed somethings should never change, and I wish that would be true. On the other hand I would not have met this nice guy, things can change but please at the same pace they have done lately. Retiring from my job was one of the best things that could happen to me. Never thought it would feel like this. Only 7 months ago since I left the navy but now it seems a distant memory, like my childhood, a story best told in pictures. There is nothing left to pull me back to what once was. Sure I still have friends serving but they are my friends and not the job they hold. 

When I look around here and see my family having their siesta while I put my fingers on the keyboard I realize that this is essential what it is all about. Being home and being at ease, no rush nothing to hurry about just relax and we will see what happens, and if nothing happens so be it.

Light conversation for my blog and I think that more stuff will flow once I am home, but for now I am satisfied, and spaghetti full…. I need a siesta too, so perhaps until manana……
