I wish

I could pay more attention to others when they are talking about rigatoni with cheese and be more tech like other asians. I wish I was not solo at the table and  had my fat wife at thanks giving dinner but loving wife who would wear sweater with goose for no reason.

But instead I fell in love. I fell in love with this lady. she’s from south africa. She’s about 50(?) years old. She told me the story about Bhutan. Bhutan is the remote place btwn China and himalayas the majority is buddhist cultureand “happy” as democracy. She told me that when she visited there, everyone is happy, they eat, drink, sing and dance. Here, people are too busy to consume. Better cars, clothes, shoes, etc,etc.  We work so hard and search and dont even know what we are looking for. Tokyo, China, Any big city is the same way. In Bhutan, People enjoy life. She told me that story over the thanks giving dinner. I was looking at her eyes with wrinkles. It was very beautiful. I learned. I like this kind of moment. I love her. It took me only 16 min. She gave me really good hug good bye. Black Friday tomorrow. Don’t you all love me for contradicting? But it’s once a year. Enjoy life. mama gotta go hunt.
