Being Grateful

How wonderful it is to meet loved ones is beyond expression. Years pass by, time changes us physically but few things like love and compassion remains constant.

It is supposed to be spring in Karachi but the humidity and heat today could give hottest summer a tough competition, and above all the peekaboo with electricity is adding to our delight. We have the pleasure of having electricity in our little dwellings for 10 hours per day. Waking up in the midst of deep sleep without electricity and then pulling heavy strings of the generators is not something we all are keen on having in our lives.

But Sonya Syed you should be grateful for being able to buy a generator,

You should be grateful for having hands to pull those heavy strings,

You should be grateful that you got the domestic help to pull those strenuous cords and make your life comfortable,

You should be grateful for your eyes, for your feet so you could walk to the generator,

You should be grateful that you have a house which protects you from the heat, the cold,

You should be grateful to have a bed to sleep on, for the fans and AC to comfort you,

You should be grateful for the food, clean water, clothes,

You should be grateful for your health, for the health of your loved ones.

Unlimited blessings are bestowed upon you but it is amazing to know that a slight discomfort could nullify the hundred of thousands gifts that God has blessed you with. Shame on you!

Good news is, the hair cut which I was whining about yesterday is now mended so as to meet my requirements and after seeing the result I must say that I am happy. Mogambo Khush Hoa!!!

Since all is happy and goody, I now, would like to take rest mainly because my throat is not feeling good and there might some indisposition. So Siesta time for me………

With my truest affections………

Sonya. (Day 49)
