With the sun in the morning and moon at night. Each new day brings something new, we just have to keep our eyes open, and hopes renewed.
Watched a beautiful sunrise in the open sky. Soon a huge gathering of birds graced the outside. Never seen these birds before, gray spotted birds that looked like a cross between a pigeon and a pheasant. The sun was out for longer than expected, and the rain forecast got somewhat delayed.
More good things are free, we just don’t realize it. Rather, we are so dumbed down by the commercialism and rat race that we believe to be true, that which is defined for us by trends and tastes of others, who perhaps themselves do not know what true joy is. More than the things that cost money, it’s the experiences that these very things give us, that matter in the end. By itself, no thing is worth much, if it were not be to used as an instrument of joy.
Today I am grateful for having the sense of discrimination to know that. Finding joy in the rain, instead of complaining about it, even as we went chasing for something in the outdoors, which turned out to be hard to reach, and we had to settle with being content to view it from a distance. Thankful that we all were able to laugh about it. Then the unexpected discovery that on our way back home, we would be in the vicinity of an eatery we had wanted to go to. Thankful for the hot food that we all thoroughly enjoyed!
Thankful also to discover that a particular journey takes far less time than expected. Something to look forward to. Grateful to have something to look forward to.
Grateful to find good elaichi/ green cardamoms locally. Crushed some in a mug and made hot tea. Turned out nice, had almost forgotten how nice it tastes. Hadn’t had it in a while.
Grateful for nice woolen clothing on a cold day. Grateful that the cloud cleared early and the moon has been shining brightly across the sky. Grateful for some nice photos that I took today.
Praying all are well and this years ends on a good note for all!
