A list of 5 things that I am grateful today:
1. Father seemed to have more energy today.
2. Had really tasty food today.
3. Enjoyed the snippets of Shark Tank on YouTube.
4. Cab ride through BKC was pretty and peaceful. The flowers are gorgeous. The leaves are green with a vengeance. It is awesome to have such lush life break through.
5. R told me about some interesting fishing stories. She said that they catch these small river fish and bring them home when they are still alive. Then they kill them using their hands. Apparently using metal to hack the fish spoils the taste. Then they run the fish in the sand to clean it and remove the scales. After they remove the git, etc., they then wrap the fish in different kinds of leaves of some local plants. These are roasted crisp in mustard oil and had with rice.
6. My dinner was simple but really tasty. Hot rice cooked with a little extra water (I like the rice to be really soft and squishy), a pat of butter, plain boiled daal and hot fried potatoes with a couple of chillies.
7. Have a house, family is alive (if not too well), there's food on the table (good food that too), running water, and some money in the bank to provide help to a stranger if needed. (An invoice got cleared today).
I overshot with the stuff I am grateful for today. It's a good thing!
