Flavor: sweet
It’s as simple as a bowl of noodles. A few ingredients mixed together and you get the most fantastic, palate-pleasing treat. One blissful culinary moment can pop me back into place. So, with my bowl of noodles at breakfast this morning, I end up back here.
Hiatus ended. No apologies. No excuses.
I originally began this blog to keep the other side of the world involved. I am much more likely to elaborate here than in a late night or early morning phone call with head on the pillow or foot out the door. What has proven even more invaluable, however, is the ability of writing to keep me aware of my surroundings and my feelings.
I recently spent a few days getting to know New York City. Having lived in and around the city for a good part of my life, I was amazed at how little I knew or had experienced. I played tourist and gave myself a chance to breathe in the city. By foot, bus, low-line and high-line, I paid attention and tried to appreciate it as a local rarely has the chance to do.
So, my grand plan is to be able to see Bangkok in the same light. Despite the daily grind, armed with camera and words, I am on a mission to appreciate what is around me. I am challenging myself to see this city through fresh eyes.
Thoughts come to me easily. Getting them out-not so easy. So, this post, which has been a year-and-a -half in the making is simply meant to get me back in the game. As previously stated, I am an irregular blogger. Have patience. If you promise to read, I’ll promise to write. Hopefully it will keep you involved or at least mildly entertained.
Alternative reading: I hope to share that bowl of noodles with you someday, and ideally this will bring you one step closer to buying a ticket and heading out the door.
