Day 1 ~ A person I'm glad to have in my life

 I don't know how long this will last. 

I realised I haven't written here for 3 years and I am using a pinterest prompt to do this 30 day gratitude writing exercise. 

Not one person but all the people I have gratitude for 

K - the man who has loved me from age 17 to now at 44 and both of us have undergone so much change as people and partners. The man who is as real as it gets and tells me the things I don't want to hear, but he will find the kindest way to say it. Who is vulnerable but always been strong for me and fights clean and fair. I have learnt courage and responsibility from him and have marvelled at his perseverance and discipline when he wants to be and his work ethic

Amma - the one who continues to keep her soul blemishless and kind. Who is able to be strong and naive, wise and irritatingly stupid at the same time. To be able to handle life in all its forms with so much grace is something she leaves to me as a legacy

MIL - what to say about this woman who has taught me patience? She goes about her day with so much grace and patience that it wears me out sometimes just to look at her. The way she is handling Appa's health and caring for him makes me grateful for her and also sad that she doesn't look after herself

Sage - My life giving child, who loves me more than any human can and has told me that no matter what, life is to be lived one day at a time

N - who found love this year and has always been someone I can talk to and even if we dont agree with each other, we can still be friends
