1 down 8 eight to go
8 november 2018 - Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Mexico
I am celebrating a little anniversary. I arrived in Tuxtla 9th of October. I am now writing this, lying in bed very tired, at 8th of november in the evening. That means if I close my eyes now I will crash into a deep and hopefully relaxing sleep and I can officially check off "survive the first month in Tuxtla" off my bucketlist. It also means tomorrow starts a new day for me (let's all hope so), a new month, a good moment to refresh the mind and take a fresh start with renewed confidence.
There is no suffering without happiness
No struggle without any peace
No defeat without joy of victory
And no loss without gain's lease
No Autumn without sparkling Spring
No winter without splendid Summer
No coldness without a touch of warmth
And no bitterness without sweet hummer
There is no wrong without a right
No tears without a tender smile
No reality without an emerging dream
And no weakness without strength's pile
So hang in there my dear friend
And never plan to ever quit
We all know at time life is difficult
And also harsh, bleak and a misfit
But remember that you have an option
To pick and color your life's cart
And win this race of running time
By awakening Spring in your heart
And surround yourself completely
With inspiration, motivation and care
To fill life's empty and hollow space
With countless and tender prayers
So you can learn life's valuable lessons
Those can warm up your weaken heart
And help you to always choose happiness
That will give you a clean and a fresh start.

I wish you all a good night and that you might have the most fantastical dreams. I hope tomorrow you can wake up with a feeling of re-emerging energy. I hope you feel like you drank from the refreshing fountain of yought. I hope that you will just close your eyes for a few seconds and that you will find, in those few seconds, peace of mind, strength and motivation for a strategic attack on your life struggles and the courage to start tabula rasa if necessary.
So Long

Sam:11 november 2018One month down, undetermined number of months left to go would be a better title ;-) Good luck and have fun over there! Can’t wait to hear the stories and see the pictures. Especially of the pinguins once you get there! :D
