I also picked up my naughty, French, erotic, illustrated magazine from the post office today. He he.
After soaking up the sun I decided I wanted to go for Vietnamese food. The last time I had Vietnamese food was a few years ago with my dad when we were en route to catch the ferry to Lasqueti.
It was good. I brought my Vanity Fair mag and read up on the Bush Administration from various perspectives within and outside of the White House and I had a couple of glasses of wine and I was happy because it was exactly what I wanted to do at that particular moment.
And that's it.
What do you want to do at this particular moment? Do it. Everything else is irrelevant. It doesn't matter when my mortgage will be paid off or what I did last weekend. On my dad's shopping list was a motorcycle helmet.
This is it. This. Right now. This is it.
I felt a ridiculous amount of joy and contentedness as I walked down Lonsdale today. It is what it is, man. You can't change a lot of it, but if there is something that isn't giving you full satisfaction and you can cut it loose? Cut it loose: don't waste your time.

Wow. Just the words I needed to hear.
Well said D.... it reminds me of that line in Out of Africa when the damn breaks and she tells the farm workers "let it go... let this water go, this water lives in Mombasa."
I love cutting it loose... cleaning it out, physically, not enemas M... but closets and cupboards. And at the same time you clean and de-clutter the mind.
