I find myself in South East Asia after a day of falling asleep repeatedly on planes. The journey wasn't really that long but I did arrive close to midnight. My countless (and possibly embarrassing) episodes of narcolepsy tell me I must've been very tired too.
Life has been everything of that sort for the last few months or maybe even since the start of the year. A whirlwind. A roller-coaster. A thrill ride. Even my week's holiday in Bali in June was only a breather for the madness to follow. I have a different feeling about my week in Chiang Mai though. I think it's the start of more chilled out times to come.
I realised this on my trip here. I really do need to look after myself. Even though I do in many ways, I always seem to not get enough rest or sleep. First resolution for my new year - schedule more time for myself to rest. (It's my birthday on Wednesday - yay!)
Here's to new experiences in a new city, and time with (long-lost) family and new friends!
