doing well, bam
nice to see you were able to pull something positive out of those test results
i think you will beat this thing
your spirit is strong
I realise that I have a past to break with--an accumulation of inertia, wrong, foolishness, rot, junk. A great need of clarification, of mindfulness, or rather, of no mind. A need to return to genuine practice, right effort. Need to push on the great doubt. Need for the spirit. Hang on to the clear light.

I do what I can. Some days it's more than others. Today's been a tough day.
So I have to ask- are you really sipping margaritas on the Caribbean? If so, I'm highly jealous.

at the moment i am three blocks from the sea
i had lunch at a lovely little restaurant one block from the sea
the weather is perfect, and i may head to the beach and sip a margarita in a few minutes
or i could go up on my roof and look at the caribbean and sip away

Yeah, I'm jealous. In 3 months I get to look out over the Atlantic. It'll be a nice vacation. I'm still jealous of your location though.

no, squatters, people who try to move in and steal your property
8 yrs in the courts because the judge was in on the deal
in mexico the legal system is different, look up "napoleanic law"
frightening, really, if you are on the wrong side of things
you are guilty until proven innocent
