Today, unsurprisingly, I came across my own sloth and greed. I ate, spent, consumed much more than I should have. I feel myself lapsing into the age-old habits from tomorrow. And I am somewhere feeling a little okay with letting myself slide. I do recognize that it speaks of some spiritual degradation on my part. But it is okay. I was seeking peace and solace from external sources. Part of the journey. I will work on making better decisions later. Not committing to anything now, though.
Here are all the things I am grateful for:
1. Papa is well. He called me today and sounded sweet and healthy and happy.
2. Went out with a friend. I had a nice Nagori chai in Mahim. It was so tasty! Then we went to Jio Drive mall where I treated my friend to walnut bakhlava from Hurrem's. I loved my variant. He was okay with his. (The stuff at Mulmul and Ritu Kumar was so pretty.)
3. We took in a short drive into town. Life is so so uncertain for the two of us that this tiny slip away from Bandra to get to Nariman Point, the end of Bombay, and back feels like that edge in meditation when you skirt around that zone of nothingness. It is brief and surreal and you come back to the real life quickly. But...for the time that you got away...you were stardust and soul.
4. I made a couple of adverts on LinkedIn. Am quite happy with them.
5. Did not go to the gym today. Thankful for the lapse because it helps to remind me that I need to be quicker to forgive myself and sharper with routines.
