Thought for the Day - November 21

"You cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it." - Albert Einstein
Most of us have problems, or at least what we see as problems. Many times we create these problems for ourselves because we are so trapped in our own viewpoint, our own desires, or own way of being. We want something, so the problem is that we need money, which creates the problem of how to get it, and getting it creates stress, which is its own problem. So often we begin chain reactions of problems, and are pushed along like a stick being swept away by a river. But not so often have we asked ourselves, is this path a good one to take? Where should I focus my energy? What's really important in my life and how should I pursue it? Take a few minutes today to look at your problems from a different perspective. Imagine that you are looking at your life from the outside. What would this person who is not attached to your desires and feelings say about your problems? Most of the time, all you need to solve your problems is to come at them from a different angle, not merely with a different tactic.Share this!

Hey, how the hell is thailand. I'm writting this from my phone so excuse typos. I just really wanted you to know that I do check on this page (its awesome btw) and wonder how you are doing. There has been a lot going on around here for sure, but I bet its nothing compared to thailand. I miss you and think of you lots...just hope your okay. I missed you horribly at first, couldn't get off the couch for months or begged the gods to bring you back. Pathetic I know...eventually I understood what you said though, I had to leearn to let go of things I couldn't have, and while your the best man ill ever know...I get what you meant. Once you left I had no choice...for a while I was trying to make my way t9 thailand and find you...to prove something..silly I know. in the end though I know we have our own paths I hope they merge again, I hope to hear from you, but most of all...I hope you are happy and safe, having lots of adventures! I love you -Foxie
