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.
We got that attitude! – 5th December 2020
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.

I am so happy and grateful for all the technology I am able to use these days. They make life much easier and can simplify boring tasks.
I am so happy and grateful for the sickness that has knocked me on my ass. I slept almost all day yesterday. I still have a bad stomach but feel better today. It reminds me that I’m not immune to getting sick. This is my first illness since last December.

I am so happy and grateful for the money I have behind me. I’m not rich by any means but have enough to do most anything that I want to do. Things would be a lot different if it wasn’t there.
I am so happy and grateful to have a friend with the same child-like wonder that I still have. We went for a long bike ride into the mountains, we didn’t talk much but were happy to be exploring the world with each other.

I am so happy and grateful for a few hours of whisky-inspired singing to old favourite songs in my room last night.
I am so happy and grateful for the nice shirts I like to wear. I started wearing them at work just to stand out a little from the boring office shirts people always wore. Now I really enjoy a good-looking shirt.

I am so happy and grateful for our little fun ride around the village yesterday and to Takky and his mum for giving us food when we dropped in. That was very nice of them.
I am so happy and grateful for the eggs, tomato, spinach and cheese on tortillas that I had this morning. I have to work until 1.30 before I can eat again so I appreciate that big meal to keep me going.
