This is the thing I need – to count my blessings and move on. I do not want to go into details but let us just say the picture is not as rosy as it seems.<\/p>\n

It started at Preeti’s blog<\/a> and I am so glad she started at a time when I need it the most. The details are simple – For the next seven days I am going to do a post every single day, focusing on 5 things which made me happy or made me feel grateful. This is yesterday’s list.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I am extremely glad my mother is here and helping me catch some sleep and not worry about feeding my daughter and me.<\/li>\n
  2. I am happy that me and R finally headed out for a lunch out. This is the first time in more than a year that we have had a chance to go out alone. It made me feel “me” and not just “mom”. We did end up talking about kuttyma but it was some time out for ourselves<\/li>\n
  3. I am glad we took kuttyma to Discovery Green park in Downtown Houston. She loved playing in the water park there. She was skeptical at first but enjoyed it later<\/li>\n
  4. We picked up a ride-on truck for kuttyma and she has been having a blast driving\/pushing it. Her smiles made me happy. I cannot believe the happiness she brings into my life. And for her every discomfort is worth it.<\/li>\n
  5. A friend called inviting us to a surprise party and it felt great to hear about our friend’s accomplishments. They have a lot to celebrate and I am so glad to be sharing their joy<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Let us see what Day 2 has in store for me.<\/p>\n

    Anyone joining me?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
