From now I will try to do my stories in Englisch because the group of non-dutch speakers who are interested in my stories seems to be growing.
I'm not sure if all the poems will be in English since that needs a higher knowledge of the language (or is simplicity a more beautiful way of showing what I have to say?)
For all the dutchies…..I assume there is no worries reading in English right?
Please forgive me for all gamma and spelling mistakes! Blame Bill, not me!
The last 'RJ' contained a lot of poems and really….I got a phone call from somebody who really liked the first one. She actually seemed to understand it as well…..I was honored! That it was my mother doesn't matter at all, and that I have only 2 'followers' on my blog (and my mother isn't one of them but my father is J) while I send the mail about my blog to over 50 'friends' doesn't matter as well. The site got about 60 hits in 2 weeks from which half was mine…..so my blog rules….doesn't matter. I don't worry, I just go international and than we will see…….
Last two weeks a good mate of mine, Wouter, came here with his (then) girlfriend. Destiny want that when he is here t we have as minimal surf action as possible (due the wind). But it was nice to have a good friend close again, somebody that know a big part of your background, can give you structural personal feedback and where you can drink a cuba-libre or two with.
Also the fact that I got to know his (then) girlfriend (Margot) better, and that he asked her in our hotel to be his wife added to having a great time.
This year we got about 4-5 proposals here and all where positive answered (as far as I know, but maybe I never get to know the denials).
The mind is getting in low-season mode. That means that I finally allow myself to get the lost sleep back and that I try to relax a bit more. I got a fair push to concentrate my work on the maintenance of the hotel and there is time for now.
It also means that I can review the last 6 busy months and I'm very positive about it! Besides the good season we got a few guests here with whom I could have spiritual talks (and not in a vague 'up-in-the air' kind of thing).
Often I got amazed that with a small story about your life philosophies you really get the interest of people. I wonder if it is what I say or either they are just amazed that somebody thinks about it. Let me say that it amazed me that many people don't have one. That a few days later most people ask me how old I'm and that they always guess me 5 years older then I'm doesn't matter that much (at least if they say it's because of the things I say and not my biiiig bellllly J).
Anyway if people pop-up who did think about (in my view) essential questions in life it's always nice to have a chat with them. Maybe it's to compensate being far from my friends.
It's a exiting period as well, Windtown 2 is getting closer, but just that it isn't there yet brings a few insecurities. Where to prepare for? Or we just take it as it comes?
It will mean a new country, new people to work with, a new much bigger project but with the possibility to develop things that interest me more. To the extend that first we have to develop the new hotel and the different parts of it but then there will be room to develop where I came from.
When life brings you that far,
Why would you desire back?
When life leaves you that far,
Why wouldn't you see where it brings you next?
After 3 months of mailing with the client service I finally got my 50 photos albums on ezprints back. They upgraded the website and guess what……..I cannot share them anymore or send them to a other site. So I will spend some time to get all albums on my harddisk again and then post them on:

Where you can see a few albums already….why here? Because it's the easies upload ever!
Cheers,
RnR
