Counting My Blessings : Part 4

My college opened after vacation today and I might not be able to post anything for some time now.

So, before going, I am adding another article to our series, "Counting My Blessings!".

Yes! Our, because these aren't just mine, but your blessings too.

Let's proceed(speaking like my standard 9, English teacher).

1. I am grateful that I have received a second chance at life and am continuing my education again.

2. I am grateful that my parents and sister are alive and healthy.

3. I am grateful for my English education that is helping me to write this blog.

4. I am grateful for the Blogger application and in general, for Google, because it gave me a platform to share my views and feelings.

5. I am grateful for Pallavi who has been a shining spiritual light in my life, especially lately.

6. I am grateful for Priya who has promised to teach me how to ride a cycle and a scooty.

7. I am grateful for Ankita, MSc-Mathematics student from RU, who sent me some previous year question papers today.

8. I am grateful that God always forgives my mistakes and keeps giving me second chances, even though I keep messing up.

9. I am grateful for Deepa Di who has helped me a lot in my M.Sc Journey.

10. I am grateful that I have a working conscience that helps me to do the correct thing most of the time.

These blessings are a tad different from the previous ones and I hope, you guys are also counting your blessings.

I want to conclude with, "Have courage and be kind."

Counting My Blessings : Part 3

     After a few difficult days, where I made a few mistakes, I am back with the third part of Counting My Blessings.

1. I am grateful for my knowledge of right against wrong.

2. I am grateful that I am always trying to improve.

(Whoever put these traits in my nature, did me a great favour.)

3. I am grateful for my backbone that helps me sit straight.

4. I am grateful for my clothes that help me cover my body and the warmer clothes that I wear in winters.

5. I am grateful for my parents who protect me against all hardships of the world.

6. I am grateful that I have roof above my head.

7. I am grateful for my sister who has helped me a lot throughout my life. She has helped me in my studies, my projects and once saved me from my mother's anger. She even bought me a laptop, my wireless earphones and is now buying me a phone.

(Thank you, Sisi!) 

8. I am grateful for the stole(dupatta) my sister gifted me today.

9. I am grateful for my birthday that makes me the happiest person on this planet.

10. I am grateful for being able to write this blog.

     While writing this part, I had the feeling that most people would find these blessings silly. But that's the point, well, not to find me silly, but that there are so many smaller blessings in our lives, that make life easier for us but we totally ignore them. The sun, the moon and being alive are all our blessings. 

     They Sun is everyone's. Not like just the rich can afford it. That's what we, the not so privileged, have to remind ourselves, on a daily basis.

Counting My Blessings : Part 2

   And I'm back...

     God added more days to my life, means more time to count my endless blessings.

     Here I go.....

1. I am grateful for my brain that has helped me understand everything I needed to.

2. I am grateful for my education through the best schools of the city.

3. I am grateful for my teachers in my primary and secondary school. I can never repay them enough for what they have taught me. They have made me this beautiful person that I am today.

4. I am grateful for the water, a sip of which I am going to have now as a water break.

5. I am grateful that I can afford bottles to hold my drinking water in them.

6. I am thankful for my ears that can listen to all the lovely sounds in the world, for eg., the crowing of the cocks in my neighborhood, the song, "Janam Janam", being played by the house just next to room's window, etc.

7. I am grateful that my parents let me and are still allowing me to study.

8. I am grateful for a functioning nose that can smell all the yummy tastes from my yummy dishes.

9. I am happy for my cozy bed.

10. I feel relieved that there are curtains in my room, that I can draw anytime that I need a me time.

     Okay! That's it for today and I never thought I could actually come up with enough blessings to fill two blogs. Well! I hope there's more and I shall bring more blogs to you!

     Till then, take care and count your blessings!

     Love!
