Sometimes our minds are our own worst enemies – worrying about things that MIGHT happen, imagining awful scenarios. I think this quote is so refreshing, so different, so optimistic. I like it. A LOT.

This is my latest painted sketch.

The Chiang Mai Air Pollution Index is in the ‘good’ range now, so I have the windows open, enjoying the breeze. It’s also funny that I can hear what’s going on down on the street better. There is a vehicle that goes by every half hour or so this morning. It goes slowly down the street, with a loudspeaker blasting out a woman singing a song in Thai. Brian tells me that this is a way of advertising things. I hope that SOMEONE likes this woman’s voice and the tune enough to buy whatever she is selling. It’s pretty awful to my uneducated ears…

I’m going to try to find a nice image for St. Patrick’s Day to sketch next. I want to sketch and paint something to go on my husband, Harvey’s, wall at the nursing home. I’ve been moving slowly on this, since I didn’t know if the staff and owners would be upset with me or not. Now that they have shown me it’s OKAY, my intention is to build a “Happy Wall” that he can see from his bed, reminding him that he is loved whether Brian and I are there that day or not. – This is the wall so far.

I’m getting my place ready for Khun Nong to come clean tomorrow. I have changed the sheets on my bed, putting on a clean duvet (having taken the one that was on there to the laundry this morning.) I’ve gathered trash, and will put out fresh towels, leaving things so that she is able to clean as easily as possible.

The only thing my doctor recommended from my last check up was that I drink more water. I’m sipping at a bottle of cold water as I type. I feel as if my eyeballs are floating and I’m getting added exercise from having to get up and go to the bathroom. I hope I’ll adjust to this in time.

It seems to me that Mother Nature is having a belly laugh watching so many in the U.S. trying to navigate through the snow and ice and havoc they create. She definitely has a taste for causing problems, particularly if you’re dreaming of spring…

Stay warm and safe, dry and comfy, wherever you are. Snuggle down and take care.
