Same old, same old
Checking the news back in Canada, I see that not much has changed.
-30 C with windchill and snow. I thank my lucky stars that I don't have to spend the winter there. Winter commute to my old job was brutal... frustrating, long, and very dangerous.
Also, I see that the Leafs still suck big time, sitting firmly in the 13th place, 'only' 5 spots out of the playoffs. Toronto sports truly never disappoint... in the negative sense.
As I write this, I sit on my balcony, overlooking a tropical garden and a swimming pool where I went for a nice dip this morning. Breathe in, breath out. I meditate, relax, and I do what I want.

New Home... for now :)
I'm really enjoying the new resort... there are several gardens and swimming pools on the property. Also, it's QUIET around here, something that I learned to appreciate in Asia. Some photos later this month. :)

Moving on Tuesday
Moving to a resort on Tuesday. It's 3 minutes from the beach... but there are also three swimming pools on the premises. A quiet street too, which I learned to appreciate in Thailand. :)
Relax, the Plan is Already in Place
"...the
reason we want to make plans and think ahead of what we want to do,
is we want
to control our life. We feel that our security depends on that
we consciously now set up goals and how to achieve them, and that our
survival depends on effectively bringing about these
five-year programs.
No such thing. You see? No such thing. If you make absolutely
no plan whatsoever, everything happens of its own. Just fine.
Everything unfolds spontaneously. Where I need to go, the path
is lighted as I go..." David R. Hawkins
