I often struggle with my inner thoughts. Living in a country such as Greece, with all sorts of financial problems and a broken economy, -lately things are getting better,- I hardly have time to enjoy simple pleasures anymore...
A simple walk with my dogs or a dinner in a nice restaurant with my girlfriend seems like a luxury nowadays...
I don't even have time for a simple visit to my parents where they live only a few blocks away. Sad I know...
Doomed(?) to work so many hours every single day in order to make my life a little better? Is this an illusion that drawn me or just the rough reality?
A wise man aka my grandpa who is no longer with us, used to say to me that "we all come and go alone is this world...what matters is how do we choose to spend the time that was given to us in between," and the older I get, I realize that my old man was so right.
Today is a special day for my father. It is his name-day. So nothing else really mattered. We closed the coffee shop a couple of hours earlier than usual and headed straight to my father's house for a surprise visit. Yeah I know...he wasn't expecting that trust me...
He almost cried the moment we gave him his present...and I am almost crying too as I write those lines. Tears of joy actually...
Family should always come first...That's a reminder for you but also for me...
Have a great day everyone.
<3
You chose the best thing to do with your time today.
Sorry to hear the situation is that bad in Greece :-(
Things were really bad...but steps towards the right direction have been made recently...
Meh...economy might suck bad, but I wouldn't change the beauty of this country for anything in the world! Thanks for stopping by Rosa!
I follow the amazing @fotostef and his pictures take my breath away time and time again <3 It's actually his pictures that made me finally want to go to Greece 'soonish' :-)
