MEMBERS - Podcast #1, #2, and #3 are now online. The subject matter in Podcast #1 - banking, privacy, and this living in Thailand off $500 nonsense. 

A good friend back in the U.S., who I have known for nearly 30 years, is always chock full of wisdom. Although he throws out these tidbits of information lackadaisically, the information is powerful nonetheless. 

"The only thing stopping you is yourself."

This was his first bit of useful information he gave me and indeed he was correct as I had and have a habit of stepping on my own feet. 

"Enjoy the small moments." 

In the ups and down of life, it can be easy to forget the small, joyful moments. People focus on the prize, on the destination, on their goal, however getting there is half the fun. 
Is there a point to this? Sure. Stop and smell the roses. Enjoy the journey. Or in my case, stop and smell the coffee. Perhaps I am preaching to myself but enjoying the less monumental moments is an important aspect of life, no matter where you are in the world. Nothing overly deep about this but sometimes it takes a friend to remind of this. 

I always say that there are positives and negatives in living in Thailand. At times I focus on the positive, at times I focus on the negatives. Focusing on the life's small moments of enjoyment helps remembering the positives. We all need these moments. I know I do.
