466 of 534




I am a little weirded out by how painful and sudden this day was. Why does this year feel like a shit show? Yes, there are tons of good things but it generally seems to come with a tightness of chest.

Anyway, when things are going South,  that's when you do the Jack Gilbert thing of stubbornly holding on to joy. So here are all the things I am grateful for:

1. Papa is well.

2. There was a scare of no water in the building but that got sorted out. One security person was on leave and the replacement had not been told about starting the motor. I am actually grateful for both- the water not coming and then coming. It helps to get reminders that we are lucky to have what we have.

3. Had warm water with lemon in candlelight.

4. Had really tasty masala dosa and sambar in Papa's place. I love our cook's flair for South Indian. She had kept some tangy-sweet chutney for me. That was yummy!

5. Had a great walk to the temple and a super ride in the auto. While returning SV Road was free. Such a miracle!

Sleepy now.
