Turning Points..

This song puts me in the best mood. Crank it up and smile and just appreciate living!!

This weekend was awesome. It was a much needed getaway from campus and anytime that happens it is good for the soul. A few of us went up to Nakon Nayok, which is about 2 hours north of Bangkok. I finally became a man in Nakon Nayok! We went to a military university and there was a shooting range. I hadn't shot guns before so it was certainty exhilarating. I got a 89/100 on the shooting range! We figured we needed a little more exhilaration, so we rented ATV's and went riding basically up the side of a mountain. Of course there was no training or safety regulations so we were basically going full speed and like racing over boulders.

I love those weekends that spark a change of lifestyle. I think this was one of them. A catalyst of great things to come. I have been off for a week and I still have a month left to cherish my time here and do some pretty cool things.

But getting out of your environment every once in a while is so important. The routine can take over your life and months can seem to fly by without you noticing. The daily grind can take over and encompass you sometimes and you feel like things are going well until you take a breath of fresh air and realize "What the efff have I been doing"Who knows if I am just realizing this now and everyone else has been doing this for ever, but the working life is taxing because weeks almost seem like days because of the repetitiveness of things. So taking some time off and heading into nature is the best thing you can do to reenergize yourself.



I have been here in Thailand for a little over 4 months now and I am in the full swing of things. I have been working hard at slowing down my life and working on becoming more disciplined. But sometimes you have to break free of that and just pull a Bri Kelliher once in a while and go crazy!

She gets kind of crazy!!

PS..

B, I can't wait until were out in Colorado just frolicking in nature. Maybe we can work on that painting out there too..
