Dear Ann,
It is good that you can smile.
And you are right: time is always on your side. What happens today can make you worried, but what happened in the past is something you can smile about and use as a lesson.
And the further in the past things are, the easier it is to smile about them.
At my place there is no flood, but it was at Asoke.
Oh, what will you do at Ploenchit today, Ann?
Either way, keep smiling.
