Life...

Maybe I have become the thing I was fighting hard not to become. Maybe I have lost the battle already.

Upon arriving in the country, I marveled at the precise times of the trains, how people can sleep standing up, how efficiency, convenience and high customer service were all part and parcel of every day life.

The downside to peoples lives here is of course time. Free time that is. Ask a Japanese person what they are doing tonight and would they like to have a coffee is basically impossible. The usual response is, lets make it next week.

Contact is so easily lost between friends, even good friends. People seem to be so busy, but if asked have no idea what they are being busy with.

I too have fallen into this trap. Over the last few years I have lost touch with many if not all of my good friends, the ones who mean the most to me.

The part I am most ashamed of is losing touch with my own family.

There is/was no excuse for it at all and I hope over the rest of this year to catch up with all of you and rekindle the LOVE!

Without you all I am nothing...
