I am so blessed to love and to be loved so. Being in Thailand has warmed my heart and soul in a way as never before. The Thai people have been so friendly and kind to me. This includes most everyone I come in contact with. My precious instructors at School of Massage and Health, my laundry lady, the folks where I stay, the places that I eat, the people that pummel my body with massage, my tattoo artist, the master silversmith, all the friendly faces I see as I wander the streets of Chiang Mai, and just about anyone that I extend a smile to I get one back. Especially the young children that I see and laugh with. For the intensity in the love I have for people I want to extend my many thanks to these beautiful people here that has shown me that it is possible to love so, genuine LOVE. I now can hold these experiences in my heart.
Prior to coming here, if I would smile at someone or wave hello with no response I would allow myself to be upset and would say things to myself that was unhealthy. People are who they are and I no longer have this high expectations of others. If I extend greetings without a return gesture it is okay because the love in my heart is stronger than that and it does not change how I feel about my fellow man. I am free!!!!
