The Big Thai Update

I'm sad to say that The Big Thai, starring Nathan and Alexis, will not be happening in January. We are both very sad about not being able to travel together, but certainly at another time, we will do it. With that being said, I'm not going to let it dampen my spirit. Or my vacation! So I sent out a mass email asking everyone from home to join me in Asia. And I got a bite! I won't say who until the plans are confirmed, but let's just say, The Big Thai is STILL ON! I'm totally psyched about this trip. And Nathan has been kind enough to still lend a hand with the planning and organization (I think I just put words into his mouth, but surely he will help ;)
Anyhoo, in the spirit of all things meditative, here's a photo from Thailand. I hope we get to see many a temple and see just how reflective we can be.
On another note, Shalaina sent me a message yesterday about how I need to change my perception. I thought it such an interesting point: if we only change the way we see things, what we see will be much different. I love it when simple things make the most sense. That's it...no need to philosophize any further.
Interesting English paradigm of the day: the difference between doubt and suspicion. I decided that to have doubt means there is reason to believe something is untrue, whereas having suspicion means there is reason to believe something is true. Now that I type it though, I'm feeling less and less sure of myself. Scholarly thoughts seep out of my head: it's lunchtime and I'm craving a Big Salad. Since I live in Korea, no Big Salad for me...kimchi instead :(
