Gratitude Journal
I am so happy and grateful to have another two days off school and be able to spend time at home and with Amy.
We got that attitude! – 9th December 2020
I am so happy and grateful to the ghost that visited my dream last night and woke me up screaming. What does it mean? I feel stressed at the moment and this is a manifestation of that I think. I fluctuate between highs and lows, good self-confidence and then low self-confidence. Searching for some balance.

I am so happy and grateful for my tempestuous wife who fights me to submission knowing that she is right and making me see the truth.

I am so happy and grateful for my nice warm bed. After going outside to stretch this morning, it was fun to jump back into bed for a minute and warm up again.

I am so happy and grateful for this jacket to keep me warm in these cooler days. And I’m happy for these cooler days. It was great to get into a warm bed last night.

I am so happy and grateful to be asked to read the school program advert for the flower festival. I enjoyed doing it and it made me feel included as part of the school.
Your house is falling down (The Chiang Rai Alternative Hour #67 – Frightened and Scared) – 4th December 2020
This one is not a morning scribble but at night and I want to get some thoughts out before I try to meditate which I didn’t do for a few weeks and I can feel my head whirling, whirling.
Step out, step out! Nothing lasts forever. Step out, step out – demolition – look at it fall down.
Distraction. Music is a distraction and I love it. I love my room – my room from youth and now I return – here in my room. No window, ceiling or floor!
Music, music, music. People in and out. Relationships, people – why do I find it so difficult?
Never mind, I think I’m okay. I’m fine I don’t need to find excuses. Inside my head is okay – when I’m feeling okay – I don’t need anything or anyone – except my one true friend. I love Amy very deeply I’m a little scared if anything happens between us but I know I’ll be okay. Everything is always okay. The world spins. And all those cliches. But anyway – it’s not something I think about really – not something likely to happen as far as I know. Out, out, out, you fleeting thoughts – settle down and breathe deep.

We got that attitude! – 3rd December 2020
I am so happy and grateful to feel a little each day after feeling so sick on Monday. It reminds me to value my health.
I am so happy and grateful to Amy’s parents and her dad for making the best laab phla that I can eat for lunch today.

I am so happy and grateful to be able to recall many things from my past despite my efforts to block them out over the years with alcohol.
I am so happy and grateful to remember a time before the internet. It makes me understand the true benefits of this communication.
