My dear Tammy,
It is a nice and quite cool Saturday morning. 'Cool' for Thai standards. It is about 17, 18˚C I think. Such a pleasant change from the heat of the rest of the year. You know this season here in Thailand. Almost exactly a year ago you were here and spent some cold nights in my new place.
Now I read about your new life in Japan and all the great things you see and do and how much you enjoy, celebrate life. You are one of those people who dare to do this; dive into the unknown, taking nothing for granted, renew your life almost every day. And in this way enrich your life day after day, after day, after day. A great and beautiful adventure. And I know that you are touching the hearts of all the people you meet on this voyage of yours. And you let them touch yours. I wished I could only now and then peep around the corner and watch you in your kayak, driving a horse, looking at the smiling moon, admiring the wildlife and meeting all these amazing people who you manage to stumble upon all the time. If I weren't so happy with what I am doing myself, here in Thailand, I wished I had your life. I mean that Tammy! This is being alive, getting out of life all that it has to offer. You are an inspiration Tammy! I am so happy to know you.
I am in my favourite coffeeshop now, just about to start writing my newsletter and to share some of what I am doing with the people I know. To have read your blog and spent some time 'talking with you' first, will help me to write with more inspiration. Thanks Tammy, thanks again. Keep on sharing your life with us.
A huge hug and lots of love,
Sallo
