Man, I lived in Japan for three years, attended Japanese classes, lived with a gal who didn't speak English, and I NEVER WAS able to understand what others said in my presence.

My 1st wife was Chinese (met in Taiwan), her parents lived with us most our 14 years of marriage, and I never understood more than ten words of Chinese.

I've traveled around Italy during three trips there and can't learn five words of Italian. Some people can pick up a language soooo easily and others can't do it to save their souls. I think it all depends on how the brain is wired.

Take more walks in the hills, stop and smell the roses, leave pebbles and prayers for those with me (I'm Taoist-Buddhist), set aside my wants and smile more. Go back to who I was a couple years ago when I felt more contented and at peace. And say thanks to someone who helped me ease my mind of some things that had been bothering me for a long time. I think this year I'm going to be leaving a lot of things behind me, carrying less baggage physically and spiritually. Today is the first day of the rest of my life, this step is the first step in that journey. Namaskar to all
