acceptance is the answer

Thank you so much for your reply's :-) I'm doing good and hope everyone who reads this is doing great!! I have just been to the NSW gallery to hear a talk on the Lost Buddha's and it totally reminded me how wonderful it is to be still and together inside. I have been practicing Buddhism now for about 3 years off and on and i'm trying to get back in the routine of getting up half an hour early, reading some Dharma (Buddha's teachings) having a simple breathing meditation for just a few minutes and reading my favorite paragraph on acceptance, which starts .. Acceptance is the answer to all my problems today, when i am disturbed it is because i find some person, place thing or situation, some fact of my life unacceptable to me, and i can find no serenity until i accept that person, place, thing or situation as being exactly the way it is meant to be at this moment.. i love that it just reminds me to breath, accept and enjoy cos really whatever is happening is happening, just cos i don't like it, isn't going to change anything, but what i can change is my mind and how i look at the situation..

PS does anyone know where i can find some helium balloons in the cbd??? but if you see my partner, please don't tell her it is for a surprise!!!

Wishing you a great day!!

Settling into Sydney

So my life for the last 12 years has totally been free spirited, traveling round the world, new cultures, people, experiences and i always knew that when i found the right place i would stop and settle, and i have found it here in Sydney, but it has been a real growing experience settling down and making roots( not the Australian meaning of root, mind you!!) I find keeping an open mind,being open to new people, experiences is the way forward and just to simply 'let go' and go with it, which is definitely not that easy! in fact letting go is a concept i totally find hard yet i know that when i surrender to it, and i mean surrender in a very positive way life is ALWAYS ALWAYS better, and i find settling into a new city requires lots of acceptance, letting go and enjoying the ride, cos really life is just one big adventure, all the small stuff i find myself worrying about really isn't worth it, i always try and remember to ask myself.. How important is it really??? and 95% of the time, it is not that important at all!!

The Poetry of motion. The real way to travel. The only way to travel. Here today - next week, tomorrow! Villages skipped, towns and cities jumped - always somebody else's horizon!
