End of this
I have now completed 108 days of writing my blog everyday. I have been inspired by a few things...a quote by Oscar Wilde that goes, "We are all in the gutter. But some of us are looking up at the stars." And the book "Eat,Pray, Love". Elizabeth Gilbert became a tad insufferable later on but the zeal with which she has written about hope and just waiting for a new tomorrow is beautiful.
Anyway, it occurred to me some time ago that my life will be difficult. Mainly because I will insist on tinging my existence with a peculiar kind of difficulty. That will make me a spiky person to be around. Especially for my sweet little tender heart. And it is a good heart. Of that I am sure.
So this 108 days of writing a gratitude list was my way of living like a prayer (as Madonna would sing.) Each day is sweet and perfect like a prayer bead and my choppy existence rolls back each day as I live through it. Like a jaap mala living. Even when my heart isn't in praying, even when I am sulking with a God, even when I trade the Divine for a donut...even when all this is difficult, these 108 days is a reminder of just how beautiful and precious things still were. The silver clouds had rainbow linings.
Now for some time I will not update my blog everyday. Maybe a few posts after I read something or if something remarkable happens. Or if I just feel like sharing something. But it's time to go back to my diaries - my pen and paper.
Because that's where it all began.
Now am nourished with the belief that through it all, there is grace. Always.
Of that I'm sure.
