สวัสดีปีใหมIt is 2008 in Thailand so this is when I will come out of lurkdom to wish everyone a wonderful New Year.
I know it is traditional to come up with a laundry list of resolutions but it's just not how I do things. I believe when we cloud ourselves too much with specific expectations, we miss too many good things that come along with simply remaining open. One of the things I've found most challenging is to wake up each day and say "yes". Say yes to any opportunity that may present itself that will allow me to give something to someone who might need it, to recognize the importance of being; being available and being conscious. I want to be present and available for the good things that come in small gestures, exchanged words and gentle kindnesses.
So that is my wish for everyone this year. May you always wake up and say "yes".
S'wadee pi mai.
