When you’re not used to going without your creature comforts it’s easy to get in a negative mind space. I have started doing morning and night “Three Thankfuls” and focusing on the things I am very thankful for in the moment.

The last few mornings have been very cold here in Bajrabarahi as the season changes into winter. I like to sit with Rocky (officially unofficial ARP dog) and think about my Three Thankfuls as the sun breaches the mountains and warms my face.

Today mine are: 1. Rocky (quiet, constant companionship) 2. My sister’s thermal underwear 3. Hot chocolate

I think Rocky’s are: 1. The hard boiled eggs I sneak him every morning 2. Dal baht 3. Rice

What are you thankful for???
