Today is my “thoroughly-pampered” day of the week.
It started out really nicely because we met the other housekeeping lady for the building as we left for the gym. I was finally able to give her a belated St. Patrick’s Day card. She grinned a HUGE grin and hugged me. She was the last one on my list. I’m not sure if Thai people celebrate Easter or not. I’ll have to find out so I can make some cards for my core people here if they do.

I’m just back from a really nice massage. Every week I still miss Lynn Moody, my wonderful massage therapist in Greenwood, Arkansas. Lynn is not only a super good massage therapist, she and I are FRIENDS. Each month we would catch up on what was happening in our lives. I was so lucky to find her.
My regular therapist was not there again this week. With our pantomiming, Khun Sulee told me (I THINK) that my regular therapist, Khun Weaw, had to move from her place, pack THAT DAY last week and move. She apparently has a new place, but is either painting it herself or having it painted before she moves in. I THINK she will be back next week.
I’m really lucky that Khun Sulee was available to do my massage this morning. I feel great now!

I have time now to write posts for the blog and catch up on a few things before we leave for the cafe. My place is ready for Khun Nong to come and scrub my place while I am having a mocha, sketching, reading the book on my Kindle, or hopefully watching the traffic out the front window.

I tried the 10-minute video of Qigong yesterday afternoon. I found it very interesting. It usually takes me several times before I feel comfortable following a video and relax into it, so I’m planning to do it today after I return from dinner. So far, I’m impressed. I followed the lady’s instructions as best I could and DID feel tingling in my hands and arms, and DID feel more relaxed when I finished! I thank my friend Linda Smith again for letting me know about this, plus I found out my friend Sheila Murrey also does this practice. I feel a bit late to the party, but I’m delighted to add something like this to my day.

So glad you are giving Qigong a try. I like it when I have done a video enough times that I know what is coming next. Then I start to relax more and can go deeper into the exercise. In this particular video I like the sound of the water and of her voice. She does not rush you and for me it is just enough time to practice Qigong. I am happy you also have the massage and of course all the self-care you do. Have a good weekend.

I really appreciate your telling me about this, Linda. It sounds like we’re the same about having to do something several times to relax and feel in control of it, rather than feeling as if we’re kind of playing “catch up “. I wish you a good weekend, too.

I’m so glad you get to have weekly massages now. I don’t know if you are able to keep up with Linda Bryant or not. She fell at the retirement home. From what I’m understanding she broke her hip. They said she is not doing very well. She was in the hospital at Ft Smith and they had to send her to Little Rock. Kay Nelson is in the nursing home in Ft Smith. I haven’t heard how she’s doing though. I enjoy reading your blogs and keeping up with you in your new life.

I’m so glad to hear from you, Lynn! I miss you so much. I would like to know what is happening in your life now. lindawlewis1@gmail.com. Thank you for the updates on Linda and Kay. I’m so sorry to hear that Linda broke her hip. I hope they can do something good for her in Little Rock. I’ve been trying to reach Patty, but she isn’t answering me yet. I’m not surprised that Kay is in a nursing home. She was going downhill fast all of a sudden. I appreciate your reading the blogs. Please let me hear from you when you can take the time.
