Lots of days have passed. It is very hectic at work. Here are a few things I am grateful for: 1. Papa is well. 2. What gorgeous weather! It is supremely scrumptious! 3. The Christmas tree is up and the decorations look really pretty! 4. I went over to a friend's place to put up decorations. I also worked on a crib and the nativity scene. It is gorgeous! 5. I have figured out a goal to work on. Still need to decide on specific strategies, etc. But that goal has been arrived at and I know now what to do! That itself is big. 6. Have written a couple of posts on LinkedIn and they have taken off. 

 All the things I am grateful for; 1. Papa is well. I didn't speak to him but no painful matter.  2. Finished one piece of work that I needed to submit. 3. I have to review a bunch of things, Started with one. 4. Had a good conversation with my boss. 5. Had sufficient health to at least do a workout.

 These are the strange funny ways of time. It soldiers on and you don't notice or you don't care until things happen. Here are the things that I am grateful for: 1. Papa is well. I met him and I am just filled with such sweet solace when I talk to him. My stomach and gut have been an issue. So we went to an Ayurvedic doctor. She gave some cream that I don't know will help or not.  2. I watched the movie "All we imagine as light". It's a Malayalam movie tracking the lives of a few nurses who comes from Kerala to Mumbai and work in a small, local hospital. Part of this sorority is a Maharashtrian lady who cooks in the hospital canteen. Everyone has a rough past and a bleak future. But in that, too, a couple of young people are foolish and brave to fall in love. I loved the way the movie ends. I think the deepest dignity is to retain the capacity to feel happy for another person even if that kind of joy hasn't come your way. 3. There was enough food, water, e...

 Really want to heal my gut quickly. Still a few things I am grateful for: 1. Papa is well. Spoke to him today. 2. Had a good call with the client. 3. Day was reasonably pleasant. 4. Managed a 1 hour walk. Not too shabby. 5. Wi-fi went off but could manage the workday calls with mobile internet. That was good. Did not cause a disruption. Wi-fi is back on.

 Today was a tiring day but it is over now. So let me recap all the things I am grateful for. 1. Papa is well. I spoke to him and he sounded a little tired. I think I will go and visit him over the weekend. 2. My cook and cleaning lady came a little early today and I got the house cleaned earlier than usual. That was good. 3. A friend called out of the blue to discuss something I had shared earlier. That was sweet. 4. I finished a pre-sales document that I needed to complete. That was good fun. 5. Some things have been bothering me for a while. Today I sat and wrote about it in my book. It felt good. I think some health issues are related to the fact that I am harbouring old crusty pain. Maybe after I start putting things on paper, some pattern will emerge. 6. Have basic necessities in place. There's a home, water, electricity and a posh city skyline outside my window. Excellent. 7. I enjoyed the besan chilla with a little curd earlier today. It was tasty. 8. I made a cup of tea fo...

 Not very happy about the work done in my house but I suppose discipline is about doing the thing you have mentally committed to, whatever is going on. 1. Papa is well. 2. Managed to complete an extensive task today at work.  3. Managed to go for a 1 hour walk. 4. Ate reasonably clean today. 5. Stomach pain subsided a little bit.
