Some memes

so if any of you happen to be peeking at my site when i post this, be warned, for you, it is just for tomorrow. although i love my creature comforts and do not mind having some nice “things,” i have learned that any satisifaction or joy i get out of those things is short-lived and very, very fleeting. life on these two legs has evolved over the years and the thrill of getting something, has faded. don't worry, i am not about to go join a monestary on a Greek Isle and give away all my worldly posessions, but i am going down the path of having a bit less.
as i sit here on this very warm andd smoky morning in Athens, Greece, i am struck with more than a bit of awe, over where i am, physically and the cards that fell into place to bring me to this spot. i can see the Parthenon out of my apertment window and i just cannot stop going down the path of how did i get here. people like me do not deserve to get Greek vacations, much less on the kindness of others. using that feeling as a jumping off point for thhe rest of the day ahead of me, i can be certain that if i allow myself to be immersed in the grandeur of my surroundings, being a part of the family, will come to me as well. the joy i feel right here and right now is because i am clean and got to sit and listen to the sounds of the city around me. it may be true that when i got here yesterday, all i wanted to do is run and hide from the crowd.
as the sun creeps over the hills and my caffeine headache grows, i see that the time has come to put this to bed, as it were, and move on with being a part of something that may never happen again, getting the opportunity to be where much so the history that has made me who i am, started. it is a good day to be cleean and GOOGLE watch out, the coffee man cometh.
