Wow! Ben you should start a blog when you return. Beautiful English and an endearing message! Maybe I am grateful for nicotine... 3 day break incoming 🤪. Excited for the next post and eat some Khao Soi for me! Have a lovely holiday season we miss you dearly.

Hey Ben, what w beautiful experience and thoughts. I try to practice being present throughout my day and part of that is being grateful. I often get sidetracked from being present by today's need to have cell phones and the way they take me out of the moment I'm in, so I actually have a dislike for them at times, mostly for my own tendencies to ”overuse" them. Your thoughts made me apply gratitude for my phone, which I usually am NOT grateful for. I usually see my phone as a nuisance or a trigger for some unwanted thought or behavior. Well....I broke my phone and haven't had it the last three days...and your thoughts helped me turn a feeling of annoyance and partial disdain into gratefulness. Because I often overlook all the things I am grateful for about having a cell phone....until it's gone lol. Thanks Ben!

Love it. All about how you frame it in your own head. Indeed, it is very fun!
