It's been ages it seems since my last post.A lot has taken place in my life and let's not forget the financial upheaval in the country.Nothing seems to offer any hint of optimism ....not even the weather.We seemed to have warped back to November.God knows I love the rain but in winter.....not in July! Anyway,I'll make a definite effort to be more constant in my writing.I'll make a conscious effort to be true to my dream to write, in spite of everything.Nothing should have enough power to make us forfeit our dreams.So I'll keep going no matter what....and I hope my friends wil keep me accountable. Since I've put on weight as well, I'll see to it that something is done about it once and for all.No more of that.I need a healthy body for al the things that I aspire to do.Meditation is also in the works.An optimally functioning brain is also a big advantage. But apart from all those personal aspirations it is vital that we are mindfiul and aware of our surroundings and the facts that form our every day reality.Circumstances change rapidly what we once perceived to be a given.So, it is imperative that we wake up from our stupor and keep ourselves informed to have an all-round, objective view. We Greeks are called upon to decide on the future course of the country.Whether that was a wise call I will not discuss here, nor should that be the question.The issue is that we are called upon to make a responsible, mindful decision to determine the course of action our country should take.We may not be the elected government but we are the ones who elected the present administration.We spent decades accusing the previous administrations of making the wrong choices for us, but without our consent.It's cowardice then to say that it's not our call. Now that this chance has been given to us, we don't want it. It's time to make a change,though.We must take a stand and be accountable for it.So put all bickering and shifting of responsibility aside.What's done is done.The future is before us and awaits our decision.If we are indeed to be worthy descendants of our glorious ancestors, let's not restrict our actions to posting pompous statuses on Facebook or other media.More tangible action is needed.Be mindful, be aware, keep the sirens at bay and let's make a wise decision for our country- whatever that may mean for each individual. And to think that this was supposed to be a short post.Well, what can I say.......I can be quite a chatterbox!Have a fantastic day, no matter what!Talk soon..... Well, the song does seem appropriate......one of my very favourites!
