France

Can't remember the last time I posted something. Life is a bit hectic and unfocused these days. Well, it's days away from visiting Z. It will be one of the more impulsive decisions I've made. Why not, I believe in spontaneity. Routines certainly have their place in my life. Sometimes I need the unexpected, things out of ordinary. So France, here I come.

Went to have my passport photos taken today. I knew I wasn't in my 20s anymore, still, when the pictures came out I was surprised. "Dude, I look old!" Good thing I don't have to look at my face every minute of the day. Try as I might, fighting aging is a pretty much a losing game for me. No amount of vitamins or creams will fix what's not happening or happening on my face and my head. Well, at least I still fit in my jeans.

Then, looking around, I see I have plenty. More than a lot of people. I am blessed, and I don't always appreciate what I have. Too many complaints, too focused on the negatives, often I see the problems but fail to see the blessings. I tell myself: Stay grateful, and stay positive. Be kind, and be thoughtful. Life always feels good when my mind is in the right place.
