Doing my best to recognize the good when I experience it:

1- the delightful feeling of motorbiking on a sunny day, wind in my hair, passing a body of water, the breeze cools all around us.

2- appreciating the people here who are calling out bullshit and lifting up those that are struggling. If ever there was a week I want to quit fedi, it's this week. Please be kind.

3- meditating with Buddha at my favorite temple I hear the sound of someone imitating the birds calling around us. I peek to see a young father, restless baby in his arms. He is calming her by simply holding her, walking gently, listening to the environment and responding with his own calls, teaching his daughter the language of birds, birds calling to let us know it's safe here, no predators around.

I found more good things today

1- I just heard the third remix of my song Lotus and it's so divine and hard hitting and so perfectly *this* producer. And I have two more already loaded from producers here on fedi, and they are both so perfectly *them* and my joy keeps rising from what has been quietly making for the past several months. I can't wait to share it but there are are two more that I'm waiting on and I believe it will be worth the wait.

2- I have had the rare and kind opportunity of immigrating to Thailand from America. I kiss this ground, this kingdom, this land. Every day gratitude.

3- tonight while walking, masked, through a very large night market I hear, พี่เหล็ก this is my name so I turn to see a young gal whose family often feeds me. She had spotted me, masked, through a crowd of a hundred people and she greeted me, called me out just to say hello.

@MamaLake

Are you living out on the islands?

@Wintergr33n when I first got to Thailand three years ago I lived on Koh Phangan for several months. So so so lovely 🥰 🏝️🌊🌅
Now I live in Ayutthaya with family and I love it. What islands have you been to or are you interested in?

@MamaLake

I spent a month relaxing on Koh Chang back before it got developed (1999).

Passed through Phang An and Samui circa Y2K.

Went to a very off-the-map Koh Man Ork (sp?) with Thais.

Doesn't really count, but there's a tiny island in the middle of the river Kwai in Kanchanaburi with a little resort on it (Kasem Island Resort).

And I've been to Koh Samet.

@Wintergr33n ah, you've been to way more than me :) glad you got that time, Thailand is so kind.
I technically also resided on the island of Ayutthaya, as the old Towne is technically an island between two rivers. ;)

@MamaLake I don't remember when was the last time I was part of a kind and quiet "social network". Maybe 15 years ago with IG, with no ads, no algorythms, no fascism. For real: I has been in social media since IRC in 1997 until today, (myspace, fotolog, messenger, icq, etc), but I deactivated Facebook a few years ago, and IG more than a year ago (I just don't use Tik-Tok). It's so sad that a "social" service ends using all against you, stealing from you, and using you like a thing; so anti-social. Cheers from Chile, Southamerica!

@leocifuentes back in my day we had Flickr, before subscription services. We would play self portrait challenges and support each other. Back in my day we had blogs and blog challenges like Sunday scribbles, a weekly writing challenge. We supported each other long before meta made a hot or not site that stole our data.
