Day 31 of 108

 Rough day and tough day. Rough year and tough year. Survived both. 

Here are all the things I am grateful for:

(I love that song.) I ordered a cool ginger beer and a plate of Habanero poppers. Both had a certain kick. A group of young girls sat to my left. They were dressed in party clothes and had ordered a pitcher of sangria or some other cocktail. Their skins glowed, their hair glistened, and their friendship seemed to deepen with every sip. Young friendship - even more invincible than young love.

4. Got a diary from Granth. (The Crossword in the mall near Santa Cruz police station was getting redone.)

5. Cook had made really really tasty masala dosa today. 

6. I really really enjoyed a lemon tart from Nostalgia.
