My Gratitude List - November 17, 2015

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.

May you be blessed! Be Happy!
