I didn’t think I could write a Gratitude circle April post.I almost didn’t.Then Mayuri reminded me and I rushed to write.So much to say, so little time, but overall a sense of calm.The calm you feel when you win a personal battle.The biggest adventure is truly that of self-discovery, trying to make yourself better every day.I wrote hardly 4 articles in March 2016 and 35 articles in April 2017.That’s an interesting journey, right?
April was unbelievable.I have written more than I thought possible.Mad struggle with professional duty, strange situation of terror all over the world and still I wrote.My life has turned 360 degrees and I had to let go of another relationship.Still, I wrote.
My home has been delayed somewhat .but in the middle of all this, I am grateful.
- Grateful for my health and that of my family.
- Grateful for the army soldiers, BSF jawans who protect our borders and let me sleep at night.What are doors and houses when people can blow off armored trucks?Today the news is full of the horrors of decapitation of soldiers by Pakistan forces in a cross-border terrorism.Totally ignoring the Geneva convention, this horror makes me wonder, why?My heart goes out to the families these soldiers leave behind.They guard us with their lives.The least I can do is have them in my prayers.
- Grateful for my garden, which is the easiest way I can get into my zen mode without random thoughts in my head.
- Grateful I found wonderful friends blogging who helped make Nutrition: Fruits #AtoZ doable .
- Grateful for my hubby, who loves me with all my faults and never stops encouraging me.
Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.

Congrats for completing A to Z successfully. Have a blessed days ahead !!!
It matters a lot to say a Thank You Note to nature and be grateful to our life every single day, Dr Amrita. An inspiring post, like always. The soldiers who protect the country, breathing every second and growing.
Heart warming post, Amrita !! Life’s happiness lies in smaller things only. Happy to read your gratitude list.
Thanks Vasantha
What a lovely quote- It reminds all of us that there is always something we can be thankful for. All we need is to look for the reasons. I too was little reluctant to write gratitude post but when I started to write, I had many reasons to be grateful. Its like magic. Start counting your blessings and you will find many. Terror always makes me sad. We can’t thank enough the soldiers and their Families for sacrificing their lives for us, for the nation.
Great post Amrita. May time heals the loss. Thanks for sharing dear.
Thanks Upasana
I have a lot to be grateful for but somehow I feel embarrassed to acknowledge it so openly on a platform like a blog
Thank you
Such a cute and lovely post. Though we say that we should be grateful, how much do we do it. Reminds me to be grateful of the things I have.
Thank you
