333

 That's a nice number for a day - 333. It was a long and endless day and work just keeps getting steadily mucked up - over and over again. Anyway, we lived through a day and that's that.

Here are all the things I am grateful for:

1. Papa is well.

2. There was a good chat with a colleague. It was the end of the day and there was a long and futile meeting. But there were laughs afterwards and what can one say? That's the best one can do.

3. I just finished reading the book 'The Storied Life of A.J.Fikry' by Gabrielle Zevin. I have not used the word 'marvelous' to describe a book in ages. This is it. It is delightful, sad, funny, lovely and loving.

4. Have a home to live in.

5. There was water, electricity, and wi-fi. That much is good.

What did I learn?

Hmm. I came across something that seemed very interesting. An epic novel, Praiseworthy' by Alexis Wright has an interestingly designed edition. The cover has the first sentence. Apparently the writing is so beautiful that the words were better than the one picture.
