Power in the Palm

End of Day #3 of the fast…at midday tomorrow it will be halfway over! Much easier to digest mentally than a 14-day fast I can tell you. Both Dad and I are doing fine.

Today I started to take a Thai massage course, private instruction, 2 hours/day for 7 days. The woman who teaches it is the trainer for all the massage staff at the Spa, so I figure she must be pretty good. I’m learning the traditional Thai massage which typically is a 2-hour massage, so there is a lot to cover in 14 hours of instruction! Today we covered feet and the first part of legs (part II is tomorrow). I don’t think I’ll ever possibly remember how to do all the moves, maneuvers, and techniques she’s teaching me, but at least after the course I will be able to fully appreciate when I get a massage. It’s hard work!
