Hello Michael

Hello Michael How are you my good friend? A lot of time has passed since I send this email into the future to wait patiently until this date. First of all, let me congratulate you on making it this far, because there were times that I had my doubts that you would ever read this. Well done once again Michael, nice one!!!! I hesitate to ask on what the current state of your life and mental health is. Have you found peace and happiness yet? Do you still light the candle before you do your yoga exercises to light the way for peace and happiness to come into your life? How are your dogs? well loved and well looked after as always I am sure. Do you have your koi pond yet? If yes, were you able to find a nice a Tancho, I am sure the Lemon Ogon looks very nice. I hope you have been able to make the pond big enough to have a Chagoi. Do you sit at the pond at dawn sometimes, drinking your first cup of tea of the day and feeling that you are at peace with yourself and that you have found some happiness at last? Do you have that big fish tank yet, one big enough to keep parrot cichlids and arlys? I hope that you have at last started to do some drawing and are being more creative in your life. On a more serious note now Michael. Are you controlling your drinking? or do you still need three neat brandy's (Klipdrift Premium of course) every night and then two quarts of beer? I hope not Michael, it is killing you now so it will be even worse in the future. How is your career progressing? You must of done your MCSE (or its equivalent) by now. Please tell me you have finished it, as I will be very disappointed in you if you if you have not completed it yet. Are you still playing the piano? You must be quite good by now, did you ever start playing in a band? At the moment you are playing that theme song from that film "Titanic", and you have just finished playing "What a Wonderful World" But seriously Michael..............how are you? Do you still do a lot of walking, is your favorite time for walking still first thing in the morning? Have you found your happiness yet? You know Michael ......I always used to tell you that your happiness was out there somewhere waiting for you and you must just be patient as you will one day find it, don't do anything stupid Michael as one day you will find it and be at peace. Did you ever buy your BMW Dakar 650 motor bike? The number of times when you have been stuck in traffic on the way home and have promised yourself that you would one get one of them. If you are still commuting then I really hope that you have bought yourself one. Do you still go to the cinema as often as you used to? Do you still play chess, read a lot, do crossword puzzles? Have you started doing the Midmar Mile yet. Have you found someone to love and to share your life? I know that you used to despair of ever finding someone, but she is out there somewhere Michael. All these things happen for a reason and who knows, maybe you were meant to be alone in your life. But maybe just maybe you will meet her, lets hope shall we. I really would like to see you making a lot more progress in making your life better and richer, you really have been selling yourself short for a long time now. So Michael, I would really like to find you a better person than the one who send this mail so many years ago. Life can be such a rich adventure Michael, I hope you are going for it now and you are at last content with your life. Find your renovatio Michael, it is truly within your grasp, you have to reach down deep within yourself, I know it lies within you. Until then, have a great time Michael and start living your life p.s do the birds still bother you? Alrode 28 Dec 2005
