Small surprises that bring a smile

Today morning after I came to the Staff room having finished a class, I found a bag waiting for me. It was from my mother. She had sent some goodies which included my favourite mutton cutlets, and certain other eatables. I was overjoyed. My mom had sent these things with a non-teaching staff who had gone to Chennai for the weekend.

She made me smile and I am grateful for/to her and her thoughtfulness.

A new month . . .

The first of every month fills me with immense gratitude and warmth. While many have passed on, I remain. I have been blessed with another month to savour, appreciate and be thankful for.

January and February, though had their own ups and downs have passed on giving me March to march ahead with joy.

Joy always :)

Happy and content.

When people talk ill of me

Yesterday, I heard from one of my friends that one of our colleagues was badmouthing me to the students. My instant reaction was anger but after I cooled down, I realised that if someone tries badmouthing me, then there is something about me that irks them. Well, I see this point as something to rejoice. Grateful that I was able to see beyond anger. Sometimes negatives show the way (if seen positively).

Joy always :)

Household chores

Managing a home, teaching, marking examination papers and also finding time for being idle is definitely a cumbersome task. I didn't know that I would manage the same. I'm grateful to the Almighty for giving me the strength, energy, enthusiasm and vigour to pass each day.

Another conference was successfully organised by us. Glad.

After two years, I wrote a paper and it was well received. Grateful for the addition of another paper. If not for his grace, I wouldn't have managed the same. Joyous.

The first day of the last month

Today is the first day of the last month and looking back it seems that I have crossed another milestone in the passage of life. Looking forward to a lovely month of December and 2012.

Cheerio!

A surprise visitor has featured this blog in his Sites To See.  Now, isn't that a lovely surprise? Yes it was, for me. Sometimes small surprises like this are enough to be grateful about life.

So, hearty thanks to FishHawk.

Joy always :)

Yesterday is forgotten

I'm glad for today morning. Yesterday was a rough day but while in the middle of a rough day, one does not pay heed to the next day. But I'm glad that the cloud has lifted today.

The rain coupled with the coolness is definitely refreshing and I can't be more grateful for today. Filled with joy.
