hi pipsters, recently returned from a community service project to Thailand. this is dedicated to my Thai hosts. thanks for reading  **************************** I learned "mai pen rai" reminds to laugh and forgive I learned whisky is a language spoken when words fail I learned to sweat cheerfully in the hot sun I learned that a brick makes a wall and a stroke helps paint it I learned sky's blue and grass's green-brown tease and tug to showcase beauty I learned there is more Thai food than tom yam and every dish is delicious I learned "Loy Kratong" is a meaning song that warms the heart I learned smiles and laughter are the only necessary ingredients to express your heart I learned I should express "I love you" as often as the Thai kids I learned kids should have a right to be carefree I learned the Thais are professionals in construction, in singing and dancing and in being excellent friends I learned happiness lies in simplicity with love, thank you very much ************* "mai pen rai"--Never mind in Thai "Loy Kratong"--traditional Thai song whisky--the passion of northeastern Thais!

I enjoyed the lessons shared, thanks.  SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

kaile, I enjoyed this very much. We lived in Indonesia for three years -- simplicity, yes, I understand your lesson and it's a good one. It changes a person when they find it, doesn't it? Glad you're home safe.  ......jo |
