Ho-hum.  Another cloudless day at the beach.  Another spectacular sunrise, beautiful waterfall, towering temple.  Another cascade of fragrant frangipani blooms. How can I possibly find myself unsatisfied by it all?   Downright irritable, in fact, in the midst of one of the most sought-after vacation spots in the world?

 The latest learning from my Big Life Pause has been a lesson in Hedonic adaptation.
