A new week

~ I am allowed to work in the Library
~ I am progressing in the essay that I began some time ago
~ I was able to relish wonderful lunch

Sept 15, Saturday

                                                    Adiago in G minor by Albinoni    

Today it's a year since I last spoke to someone very close to me. I am thankful that I met that wonderful person in my life - I am thankful for the music, the thoughts and the conversations. You are always on my mind.

And, I am thankful for the people who were part of my life yesterday and today. I don't know what tomorrow holds but I am grateful for today.

Joy always :)

Seven months and thirteen days

Whenever someone asks me about the irregular entries of this blog, I feel a bit uneasy. Why? This blog is meant to record my gratitude on an everyday basis. I have so many things to be grateful for but I don't record them.

Today, I am thankful for:
~ The internet without which I shall be missing out on many things
~ The peaceful flow of the day so far
~ Th positivity around me
~ I am glad that I can write and express myself
~ For the ability to smile and be happy

Why no entries?

There have been so many instances for which I was overwhelmed with gratitude but haven't cared to wrte them down. Does that make me less grateful? No.

~ It has been a year of being married
~ I have realised that sweating the small stuff is absolutely unnecessary when one has the option of being thankful for many many blessings
~ I am surrounded by people who love me inspite of me being not-so-pleasant
~ My memories keep me company in times of being lonely

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.
