We are only given today but never promised tomorrow



„One more night ….oh one more night, one more night“ is coming out of the old speaker boxes behind me, infront of me the turquise ocean, a bit of a warm breeze is blowing through my hair and it couldnt be a more peaceful start in the day.
Yes, I AM BACK, back in Ko Tao/Thailand my little island paradise...I actually would call it my second home...or wait my third home … or ach just forget it, the WORLD IS MY HOME – like my blog says: „Zuhause in der Welt“.
You wouldn't believe if you could see me here. You never see me alone, well that is nothing new as I am always sourrounded by plenty of people and always action going on. Well here my BEST FRIEND is called „Shantaram“ and it's a 1233 page book, yes you hear right, a big fat book. And I am just addicted to it. It plays in the underwolrd, in the slums of India, just fascinating...a lot of thoughts, philosophy, a lot of questioning about our fast and actually very lonley way of Western Life. Very touching! You are more than wecome to have it after I am done, and its in English :-)
One week is over already and it seems so much longer that I am here. Maybe because everything is so familiar, still the same old faces: RAJI, the pancake boy who sits there every evening from 4pm until 4am to sell pancakes to the choclolae addiced girls or drunk tourists, and always a smile for you, then the crossed eye old man with his walking stick who is doing the washing for you for 50 BHAT (1EURO), the ladyboy all in pink who serves you the best hot and spicey mango salad with his/her high voice, ZORO and KAI the two best mates with a funny English and broekn German but a big heart and a guitar ;-) and the cute waiter boy who serves me every morning my mixed fruit shake with a big smile but now word of English. Kopkhun Ka – Thank you!
I have been diving four times already, and its just fu..ing lekka! Sorry for my language, but there are no other words for it. Being under water, no more noise, just the sound of your breathing, your body is floating surrounded by all the colourful fish. This is relaxaion pure.
I must say this holiday was more than necesarry as I can feel how much my body and soul needed it. Since I am here I havent talked more than 20 sentences (not counting skype so :-))...I really just read, write, sleep, enjoy the sun, the food and sometimes watch one of the open air movies on the beach. It feels so good to be alone, to just rest and let the world round you go crazy. I think when I am back in CT I am fully loaded with Energy...so be prepared :-)
Sometimes it is important to just feed you own soul, to be „selfish“ and escape the hustle and bustle around yourself...and the saying is right: „if you are not happy you cant make other people happy“ same same but different „ if you dont have enough energy you cant give energy to other people“... yes sometimes we must listen to our body and allow it to rest (this line goes to OWI!!!! - I should have booked you a flight ticket to come with me!)
You wont believe it but the other day I had to google what day and date it is. I was 100% sure that it is Friday, ZORO was 100% sure it was Sunday, so what now? I had to put my PC on and google it. Can you believe it! When have you ever felt the need to google the date and day cause you are so out of everything...well that shows you how cut off I am from the outside world, of all that stress and running. And I tell you IT FEEL SO GOOD!
I wake up, no make up no making yourself pretty, just some teeth brushing, not even a shower, wrap the surrong around my body put the sunglasses on, and here I am my book under my arm...my airmatrace waiting for me on the beach … and then Im floating on the flat 27°C warm turquise ocean...sorry dont wanna make you jelaous :-)
Today Im going to go for a nice full body oil massage for 200 BHAT (4EURO), cant wait to stick my nose in Shantaram again, feeling the nice breeze in my hair, the sun smiling at me …. „one more night … one more night, one more night!“
And for sure it wont be the last time on my little island paradise … its always good to come back home, wherever that is!
And remember: 

WE ARE ONLY GIVEN TODAY
BUT NEVER PROMISED TOMORROW!

Feel hugged and smiled at, live life as good as you can, your happy VE! :-)
