another day in the life of the sober girl

Yes, I am alright but My scratches and bruising is funny . oh well. I am delighted evermore. today I went to Moon village its a tiny spot Here I Pai that Is featuring a kind of hippie gathering .. the intent is the same but the people are ethnically Asean. Lots Of Japanese, Thai, Hong Kong, and then the old traditional whites.. from where ever they are from.. No worries or derogatory remarks just objective commenting. any way . the festival for which I am liking thus far had a special group guided mediation today .. Yes I was there and ready to meditate,, the premise was to alleviate ones suffering through vocalization of proper requests that facilitate a deeper connection to the radiant positive things in ones life thereby filling up the voided spaces with only good and harmony whilst outcasting and removing the negative .. sound terrific right.. good.. Well I was hoping it would be.. and The narrator was great and the SPACE WAS LOVELY AND THE RIVER RUSHING GENTLY BEHIND ME WAS SUPER AND THE WATER BUFFALO IN THE DISTANCE PLAYING WITH HIS AUNTIE WAS GLEEFUL BUT. i COULD NOT FOCUS. ANY WAY i get the chance to try again on my own in 2 days at this Wat Tom Wau.. get ready here i come..

By the Way .. I will not be writing email for at least 10 days.. all my love and hope.. meli

Hi, Missy (Melisa Ana)
What is this with all the drinking.
Thought you had this under your control. Guess not. Hope when you go to your meditation adventure you can 'focus' on what you really want from this beautiful life. You have so much positive energy that needs to put to good world use. Keep positive and loving people around you and everything thing you 'hope' for will fall into place. No one comes or goes out of this world alone. Friends and family are important. You will find this out in your own good time. Hopefully, sooner than later. Go within yourself and try to understand you are who you are and don't change too much, as we love you just as you are. Even if we don't understand your thought process sometimes, your ambitions sometimes, what you want out of life sometimes, what you want from other people sometimes, and most of importantly, what you want from yourself.
Love You, Aunt Vicki

Hey Melisa!! Kimberly & I have been keeping up with your travels a bit lately. We miss you coming into the store - you always brightened our day.

It sounds like you are having a wonderful time, I'm a tad bit envious of you being able to do all this traveling.

I wish you much success with the drinking. It is SO HARD but you have done it in the past and you CAN DO IT again. Vacation usually brings out all sorts of things in ALL of us. Now you can tell yourself you aren't really on vacation - this is your life. You feel better when you are sober and your whole life goes better.

THERE - no more preaching antidrinking. I just wanted you to know we are thinking of you and are offering our support way over here in Portland....

Enjoy yourself. Keep safe!!

Happy Birthday, sweetie! I'm listening to your actual birthday show right now (Grateful Dead--July 21, 1974). I have an upgrade that I'll give you when you get back. Have fun at the retreat.

wake up and smell the coffee

Cold winds a blowin, sing songs a howlin. The weather is raw the weather is king. Shorter days knocking at the door. remembrances of yesteryear, the good old days, realizing they are permanently gone and that it will never be the same state again. Its a hard world to swallow sometimes, and especially as the time progresses and with that the expectations of adaption and evolution are ever present.. But it's easier to reflect than pro actively predict.! I am faced with the harsh reality that the place in the world that I am from , the magical all possible place that I come from is vanishing, slipping away and turning into a place of sour milk and no longer that rich golden land of milk and honey...... no dwelling but really dwelling. that is the state I sit in. the longing and desperation of knowing exactly how things would turn out. its gone its gone so gone gone gone... not hopeless just placeless spaceless danceless joyless empty outta wack adaptive acceptance

I am Teaching and they love me..

Ok, so the rivers of Earth Were formed from large collections of rain from many many clouds after the great fireball earth cooled, millions of years ago, and it took man a mere 5000 years to putrefy them.. nice work man........ ok Yep my new job is great. I live doing something productive. the slow pace of settled India is to slow, I went on a walk with some elder women in my home upstairs, they take one step then the next and so on and I usually wait for the 12th step before I take my first one.. SLOW man I MEAN SLOW...its interesting for me.. I am a running dashing dancing prancer,, I can really move it... hah ha.. so this new speed of life .. I am glad I am a visitor.. any whoo.. blessing and peace. Auntie

4th week of goodness and English lessons

As the last few days of September are approaching, the winter chill is permeating the air again. I like Autumn I like Fall but the rain and chill proves I am not as cop-able as I was when I was a child. The bitter chill cramps my legs and causes tingles in my toes. Stay warm stay dry and drink plenty of soup, avoid catching cold and don't forget to wash your hands often. These are simple things I can recall from the youth that lingered by. best of wishes as the seasons change and we reveal the autumn of our lives. love M
