Ready For Anything…
I returned to England in the evening on 11th May, but this time, although I didn’t really want to be here and despite missing 
my beautiful lady enormously, I didn’t feel down-hearted.
I still don’t feel down now, sitting in the office on the night shift all by myself! Why? Well I think it’s because this truly feels like a temporary situation. Something inside of me shifted during my trip. I just have a feeling of certainty that I’ll be back there pretty soon and for a much longer period of time. I met a few very inspiring people whilst I was in the Land of Smiles and they have given me plenty of evidence that simply following your heart pays huge dividends in the area of living a joyful life. What else is there to aim for than that?
So knowing what I need to do, or rather be (after recovering from the jetlag!) is a very clear and simple matter this time. I am getting on with being what I want to be now, so that I will be totally equipped to relocate and continue being what I want to be when the time to move comes and I know that simply getting on with it now regardless of where I am or where I want to be is the key to achieving my bliss more quickly.
I feel that I owe a huge amount of thanks to someone or something. I just feel very very grateful for everything in my life right now and what I know is coming to me.
So I guess I can start by expressing my gratitude to anybody who reads this post. Thank you very much.
In order to make some sort of landmark out of this post I took a picture of the same beach in the header from the same viewpoint updated for 2007.

Thank you,
I hadn’t thought about that. It goes to show that there’s no more effective way to being in the right frame of mind than just getting into it rather than “trying” to do it or thinking about it too much.
Also I don’t have a sense that I’m running out of time either, which is something has dogged me for years and sometimes caused me to make decisions that were poorly judged and hasty.

Hi guv’ long time no comments…sorry to have missed your blog, I will go back through some posts. Just a quick check today and great to read your optimism beaming across the broadband.
Xiao Qing and I are on the up and well again. We will soon complete our apartment decoration and hope to move in next month.
We’ll need a holiday after it all so let me know when you’re back in Thailand and maybe we’ll plan a trip there.
You take care mate!

Sounds like you are on fire!
This trip must have done a lot of good for you, and I am happy to hear it. Life is an amazing journey, isn’t it?

HI Jenn.
Yes life is incredible if you allow it to teach you. The last time I returned from Thailand in October ‘06 I felt very down and lost, just missing being there and that was my experience of life at that point, just wanting a “new” or “better” life and also not knowing exactly what I was going to do with my life at that moment.
This time Thailand and everything there that is so dear to me is still on my mind most of the time, but whenever I think about it I have a very strong feeling of joy, like I am actually there and everything has worked out right instead of the feeling of longing or lacking.
The difference I believe is due to the fact that before I felt like I had no choice, but to settle for what I did not want (what kind of life is that?). Now I can see that I do have a choice, and that which I choose is in the process of becoming reality.

Funny you should mention that. I used to feel like I was on a mission. Now I do feel like I am running out of time.
If you would, please check out my new blog http://www.ruggednotebooksblog.com. These are designed for travel and extreme weather conditions. You could use it at the beach in the rain.
Please leave a comment.
Thanks
