The passing of time


It's the end of July already, and I can hardly understand how fast this year has gone by. The days passed us by so quickly that I feel like I almost feel dizzy when trying to remember where they went. Or maybe that's something that comes with age? But I'm not old. Vintage perhaps, and old-fashioned, but never old. Whatever the reason, more than half of this year has gone by, and we're approaching autumn too fast for my liking.

To be perfectly honest, it is a tiny bit too quiet and peaceful in this village, at least for me, but one shouldn't complain.  I just wish there would come a few more tourists, and that there would be at least one more coffee shop ~ that are open after 6 pm ~ so that one can have a lattĂ© and relax now and then. I'm not made for a life this peaceful, I've come to understand. But as I said, one shouldn't complain. And yet we do, don't we, when things don't feel right in our heart or our souls? It's a bad habit we have, isn't it? Maybe it's time to change..? There are so many things to be grateful for, starting with our families and friends, and the little things in life. But I still want a place for people like me, who like to just pass time and watch what goes on from the chair in a cafĂ© ~ after 6 pm.
