Life is full of challenges, and
as we address one problem, another one surfaces and this goes on and it’s a way
of growing up. Dealing with various
kinds of issues and emerging stronger with age as time passes by; we realize it’s
part of living and also these things keep reminding us how much more there is
to learn in life; and the lessons are unending.
There has been heavy rains flooding
Chennai, Nellore and some lives lost; and on the other end there has been a
tragedy at Paris killing 129 people, which is one of worst attacks in France. Amidst
all these happenings,I am delayed in posting this by one day… here goes my gratitude list :
For the beautiful and inspiring posts
on kindness I have read from Corinne’s blog on The Power Of Kindness and the other bloggers who shared
on similar lines kindness begins with ourselves, blogger reached out to her .
lessons in kindness from the worst
day of her life
For the helper we have found to
take care of my mother in law who needs a full time person to take care of her.
It was very difficult to get a person full time; and David was getting very
stressed everyday visiting his mom and helping her. This new lady is an answer
to our prayers and we are grateful.
For the person who repaired our
computer and put things right for us, so that we are able to access and stay
connected on-line at home. For a long time, there is been some problem in the
system and was not getting resolved; we are glad to get this done.
For a wedding celebration we went
as a family and connected with all our extended family members, interacting
with them shared dinner together.
For Lucy, my neighbour who helped
my daughter prepare for mathematics exam while I was busy completing my house
work. Being a mother and disciplining a teenage daughter is not an easy task
and for me to have a person who can help my daughter focus and complete the
revision for the exam was a big relief.
For an old friend who connected
with me recently and shared some of our very memorable times spent together at
her place and also in college.

For the good health and capacity I
have to take care of self, family and also continue to work at the campus is a
blessing. I am grateful for every experience that comes in both at home and at
work place.
