I am grateful for the friends I have made here in Chengdu. We are a small group at school, but with some lovely and varied personalities. I feel lucky to have made friends, and some I’d call long-term friends, rather than just acquaintances to maintain while I am here in China.
I am grateful to be in China; despite frequent cultural and technological challenges, I like it here. I especially like heading for the mountains each month and am even more grateful I get to do that! In fact, I am planning a trip into the Tibetan mountains again, during our summer break: Kham and possibly Amdo! I am grateful for my teaching post; again, with its challenges and rewards, the rewards are greater. Life is good, and I am grateful!

Once again, I am grateful for my time in Kangding, where I can do a lot or a little, where I can sit and write for hours, or get up annd go hiking, where I can stop for a cappuccino in the middle of the day because I feel like it, and ... equal to the mountains, clean air, and monastery is the gratitude I feel for my mind unraveling so that I can move deeper into introspection and self-realization. I so enjoy my time in Kangding, and I want to return again and again and again!
