How grateful I am for water to drink! It is so hot, and it was so hot walking home...
But it felt so good today - amazing...:D
So: random stream of conscious walking home:
I have a REALLY hard time making decisions.
I like to walk around grinning at thin air (aka invisible thoughts (= really random stuff)).
I am learning to consistently buy food to eat/eat when I feel hungry (because I can <-- why doesn't this occur to me more often? I did not grow up starving at all!).
I'm learning not to stress at work.
I'm learning...so many things.
Life is...okay! Not bad...lol.
I decided I need to learn to be Thai in the food-sharing aspect. My brother and I came up with this formula:
Lesson number one on how to be Thai: The Food Sharing Formula
A) Buy a lot of something really unhealthy and really GOOD-tasting
B) Walk up to your friends and urge them to eat it. If they refuse, put a piece in their hands and walk away.
C) Leave them to digest it (and eventually eat it)...you're doing it for their good...because once they put it in their mouths, they will find out how good it tastes.
D) Good feelings all around - you are more blessed to give than to receive; your friends have their hunger satiated in whatever way.
It's a really cool cultural trait I have not picked up on well enough...:D It's an art...some people are really good at it.
Also you have to know when to accept and when to refuse. This is a part of relationship-building...and bonding. Bonding over food is very Thai.
