Relax :)

ahhhh, i found it! 

After the craziness of phuket we decided to come back to koh phangan.  i had come here with thomas at the beginning and than met the girls and we didnt really have a plan, when we decided we had to get out of phuket because it was kind of like a mini vegas/mexico, really crowded, i knew we should  come back here so we could chill out and stay for a while, traveling back and forth to different places every few days is exhausting so we wanted to spend about 10 days somewhere.  Thong nai pan is the place.   I dont think i've ever been to a place that is more laid back in my whole life.  After a long day of a mini bus ride, regular bus ride, 3 hour boat ride and a bumpy truck ride we arrived.  It was worth it. :) We got dropped off at a place called bamboo bungalows.  Asked if they had a room and the guy brought us to it and opened the door, it was great, a shelf and a hammock and a toilet and shower, perfect we said.  We asked if he wanted us to give him our name or fill out any paperwork or anything, he said no problem.  We asked if we could stay for 10 days, he said no problem and told us how much it was per night.  about $5 a night each, sweet.  we will stay. 

we have had 7 amazing days of beach, friends, fun, and relaxing!  met some wonderful people when we went on a tour in phuket to pi pi island where they filmed the beach.  we only crossed paths for about 5 minutes and hit it off and than a few days later we see them on the small beach we are at :)  meant to be i guess.  we had alot of fun, rented scooters, i was one of the drivers, lucky i feel comfortable riding them, a few of the other drivers were a little scary (no names... haha).  me and tanja went to the half moon party in the jungle. what a crazy experience.  the fire dancers are amazing.  i am teaching myself and trying to find someone to teach me how to do it.  maybe i will light them up before i leave? who knows!

the fruit is amazing here, we have been drinking fresh coconuts and having the best mangos and pineapple!

ive been learning alot, i think even more than i know and ill find out when i get home.  live simply and follow your heart.

me and tanja are going to koh samui and we will spend 10 days at a place called health oasis doing yoga and possibly a detox treatment.  will be wonderful i think!  we leave here on the 30th and christine and rachel are heading home, sad :(

after that we will meet megan my friend from hawaii that is coming to india with me and darren in bangkok and we will see what happens..... fun!

i got an email from someone i met the other day and at the bottom it says......

"Dont Postpone Joy"

thoughts.....

what a wonderful quote, why would we do anything that will keep you from being joyful?  isint that what we all want in life?  Why would we stay in a job that dosent bring us joy?  for the money?  why do you wnat the money? to buy things that dont matter?  money wont bring us joy.  more important is to be around people that make you smile and happy inside. every moment we have a choice, why dont we choose the things that bring us a little closer to joy in our life?  if you are in love with someone and cant be with them for some reason, why dont you just make little choices to bring you closer together, visit? spend time together? get to know each other?  it is worth it.  why not take the time to nurture our souls?  isint that one of the most important things we can do for ourselves? what is more important......?  why dont we do this then?  being stresses, or busy?  bad excuses i think.  every moment we have a choice, choose the things that will bring you closer to joy in your life and away from the opposite.  it will be worth it.  :)

Relax.

wow now is a good time to take a deep breath........after just writing for about an hour about how relaxing and wonderful this place is, i lost the post.  so i will try again but im a little frustrated and hot so i think i need to get out of this internet place. 

we are back on thong nai pan, the beach i came to with thomas at first.  it is so amazing here.  we have been having a great time relaxing, riding mopeds, laying on the beach, reading, and meeting new friends.

here is a quote that i wanted to share with you guys....

"dont postpone joy"

this made me think alot and realize that every moment we have a choice, to choose to do things to bring us closer to joy and love.  why wouldnt we?  think about your choices every day and moment.

me and tanja are heading to a place called the health oasis on koh samui on the 30th to the 10th for some yoga and detox. should be amazing.   christine and rachel are going home :(


i have to go but will try to write again soon.  its hard

i love you!
