Sometimes, I look around and just have to smile. Today I left my room to go forage for breakfast at around 12:30pm, and one of the first things I saw was that the basketball bleachers were filled with students singing and dancing. There were bongo players, some hype kids with mics, and about 60 students just dancing, laughing and having a grand old Saturday. That was one of those moments when I laughed out loud, thinking 'man, I'm so glad to be here right now.' While continuing my walk to meet a friend next to the pond, I came across a Thai woman sprawled out in a really committed napping position (no way she just nodded off; this lady was fully dedicated to the task of sleeping as comfortably as possible on the marble bench). She had a plastic bag full of those hot pink eggs (don't ask) sitting atop the table near her head. Again, a great Thai sight. And finally, when I sat down to chat with my friend, I got to spy on a young boy of about 8 years old as he molded clay into large dinosaurs. He looked totally content with life, which mirrors exactly how I feel today.
At times like this, I think voyeurism should be considered a legit pastime.
Nades, sometimes I think to myself, oh that crazy Nades and her crazy ideas. But not this time. This time I think your onto something. Glad to hear things are better than yesterday (and I have a sneaking feeling that comfy footwear may also help a good mood). Stay safe!
