A piece of peace

..a long time since the last post.. I can say "I haven't had time to post" or "I didn't feel like it" which are partially true, but I rather like not to waste my time looking for a reason.. :)

Many things had place in my life lately.. good and bad ones, but I feel the balance of them all is highly possitive!! so it makes me think and feel that all the bad moments where there just to learn more about this life, enjoying every moment, which led me right here, right now..

I cannot tell everything that I lived this past few months, 'cause they were so many things.. so I'll mention just some of 'em..

A great guest I had some weeks ago left Spain to continue her trip in France. Now she is in Thailand, enjoying life as she always does! Yes, I'm talking about Libby, whom I share many great moments with!!. I hope to have time next year to see her again.. she became in one of those people I would always want to spend my time with.. talking, learning, sharing experiences and perpectives and also having fun!!

More guests! (I really like that, I'm considering managing a hostel in the future..). A few weeks ago my friend Luciano came to Europe to give some tech talks, so I could enjoy some time with him here in Madrid and we made a very nice trip to Morocco! Here is the resulting photo album!. What can I say? I liked Morocco very very much!, we met great people there, we lived a bit of their culture and had a lot of fun thinking we were making a great deal while we were being "robbed" shopping!! ;)

I started learning german again!I want back the level I had once! Luckily I have a great exchange teacher, who helps me with those things I cannot learn from a book.. :P and I'm also discovering how good Spanish teacher can I be! ;)

Right now I'm trying to change some little things of my life (as usual, otherwise would be boring), but in this case, I'm living the process not as the path to reach a goal, but instead, as an enjoyable journey..! I'm mostly happy with my life how it is right now!! So that's a great time for a change, when I can take decisions with a clear mind, from a comfortable position..


Readings:
I started reading Cryptonomicon (Neal Spephenson), I'm reading now the 2nd book of the trilogy, I think it is a must-read novel for every geek.. ;)

I finished reading the book The Art of Loving (Erich Fromm) which I got for just 1€ in a used books shop while I was looking for another book.., and I think that is one (if not the) best book I've read so far. Maybe because of my position in life, my questions, my feelings.. Anyways, I highly recommend it. Everyone should read it to understand at least those concepts of love needed for this world to be better..
