“What’s makes you happy”?

Life moves so quickly. One minute you are thirteen, and you are excited you are in your “Teens” and then all of a sudden you are Eighteen and you are able to drink a beer. Yes, when I turned Eighteen I did go out and have a drink at (maybe at 17 or 18) and ohhhhh yes I drank a little too much and alas I did get the vomiting and the hangover. I had only two episodes of the vomiting and the prolonged hang over, and that was it “No more” I said. I did not drink for some 12 years until I turned 30.

On the day that I turned 30, I was what many would believe “a success” I gave myself permission to have a drink; I started like some teenagers and many younger kids do with a “Southern Comfort and Coke” ……… I in my mature years migrated to Vodka and Coke and now a vary from Vodka and OJ and now to a nice wine here and there!

I have now lost almost 90 Kilos a bit more or a bit less. I weigh in at a nice neat (underweight) of 71 Kilos. I Look good! I have tried hard! Very Hard. Maybe to hard.

I LOVE living in Koh Samui, Thailand. I love my little “Son” = “Tdan”. I love my hotel AKWA, well it is not really a hotel, A Guesthouse is what it is really is! It is a challenge running a place like AKWA that is open 365 Days a year and you work from 7am to 7pm or 8pm or longer every day.

Yet this week I have after some 3 years been able to visit my Mother in Sydney for 6 days. I got to go to my Favourite Restaurant “Bistro Moncur” in Woollahra more than a couple of times. I met up with lots of other wonderful people who I hold a place in my heart. Yet you then collide with a dreadful horrendous person you wish you never saw, acknowledged or ran into! Yet that is the history in my life (sometimes you can not always not run into a person that you really do not want to meet!!!!)

Yet, Life alas, makes me happy.

I Love Tarn & Aum.
