| From my Garden 2010. Gotta love these. |
Today, there's sunshine (Not light. S-U-N. You can actually feel the sun today here. Which is in itself something to thank God for), there's signs of my garden plants coming to life, there's the option of getting some colorful flower seed.. eh what more do I need?!
I went back to see my only other 'things to thank thursday for' post. And I got to tell you, there are a lot many similarities!
-- I prayed last night for something to snap me out of my gloomy mindset. Viola! Today we have sunshine. Today might as well be the first day of spring for me. It really is not, but I got to open my windows for a period more than 5 minutes, I didn't have to hide myself in winter wear and I did not have to shiver before setting foot in the balcony. These on their own warranty this post. Coming from the hottest parts of India, you really do not realise the importance of sunshine till you have suffered through your first winter. Love it!
-- I have finished one year of study in the US of A. Of course, half of it was MS and half of it PhD. However, my learning curve is on the rise, and I have truly learnt a lot this year, not just academically. I now know to pace myself, set timetables (which is still a work in progress though) and more than everything - that I still have it in me.
-- It is again wedding season in India. I missed an important wedding in the family, and I have been bugging everyone to fill me in with the details. They aren't doing a great job at it though (not as good as I would be) but hey.. you got to take what you can get.
-- Not a day goes by without me thinking of my Grandfather.[That link will take you to a long post I had written about him - funny and sad]. This week, I found out that Providence with her kind eye introduced me to someone who reminds me of him so much.
-- And last but not least, this year I have published more posts already than the whole of last year total. Getting back my blogging mojo I hope :D
So now that the cobwebs in my brain have been cleared, I should get back to work. Thankful or not it is still thursday, and one more day off the calendar. Sigh.

first few lines of ur post reminded me of a poem learnt during my childhood....'The Little Plant
In the heart of a seed,
Buried deep so deep,
A tiny plant
Lay fast asleep.
"Wake," said the sunshine,
"And creep to the light."
"Wake," said the voice
Of the raindrops bright.
The little plant heard
And it rose to see,
What the wonderful,
Outside world might be.'
so good. even so good is to hear abt ur completion of one yr of study at US of a. so happy for u.
good luck dearie
