The heart has been feeling very heavy and my stomach quite knotted. The chakras are fairly imbalanced. There is something strange about these 9 days of Navratri. I am observing the fast so I am not sure if a lot of what I feel is a result of abstaining from grains...after all, food is memory and when you stay away from the regular, it creates space for some other stuff to emerge. (I am typing on my phone and I have no idea why this is all getting center-aligned. Must be the pictures. It's okay. This is what we will work with. I have lit the lights on the Christmas tree and also lit a couple of candles. Did a little bit of meditation earlier and will wind down with some more later. It was tough at work and it promises to be a rough ride for the immediate future as well. Still, to remind oneself of a season of quietness is a high-order duty.)
Anyway, here are all the things I am grateful for:
1. Papa is well. I spoke with him today. As of today, it remains sweetest sound in the world...the cheery way he says "Hello!"
2. Cook had made sabudana khichdi with roasted peanuts. That's gotta be good.
3. Missed gym but had a deep nap. Was feeling a little weak. Feel better now.
4. I finished my first draft and one round of revisions on time.
5. Managed to go for a couple of meetings without cancelling them.
6. The blog seems to have really taken off! This month has seen a 300% increase in stats over last month. And the month is not yet over. I don't know why or how this is happening. The numbers do point to a glitch in algorithm or something. But whatever it is. Feels good.
