Crazier than Usual

It was crazier than usual last week — and that’s saying a whole lot. In this age where crazy is ordinary, like when the firemen rushed because somebody in our accommodation almost burned the building down. At one point, it was hard not to tremble and not to think too far ahead and not worry about too many things (most of which did not really happen anyway).

The smoke seemed blew straight into my head at a friends birthday party. And that it is far from fun, totally crazy. Sometimes you just go where the wind blows and you find yourself in places and spaces you never knew could exist for you. Come to think of it, when will I try all that? When I am old? When my knees are so wrinkle? As you retreat back into yourself you alternately allow yourself a view of the bigger picture.


We cannot always control situations we find ourselves in but we can always stop when it gets too much. Be unapologetic about what you want to do eat a bit of chocolate every day (Patchi!); drink wine (the polyphenols reduce inflammation in the artery walls and improve blood flow to veins); find the best nothing thing to do (you are not always given that chance so when it’s there, grab it); dream of your next escape after a busy workday; dance or sing even you're not good at it because you simply enjoy it; wear to nowhere something really special that makes you feel instantly beautiful. Do whatever feeds and delights you.

This crazy little pleasure are quirky glimpses into the psyche of adults in general and more than we would probably care to admit. Every day is special, every day is a reason to celebrate. Staying true to this basic reality does bring into natural order an innate happiness that will sit stoutly and solidly within our hearts, fostering a more genuine and generous appreciation for all that is around us. ❤💋
