Day #81: My reading glasses
(100 Day gratitude challenge)

A few years back I was struggling to read visiting cards. I was wondering why people are printing such small size fonts nowadays. Terms and Conditions, Credit card, restaurant bills and even some books were becoming difficult to read and I was convinced that people are not designing well or printing well. Then I realised that not everyone was struggling to read this information. It was only then it struck me that the problem may be with my eyes. When I asked my friends they laughed at me and said that I must grow up and realise that I was over 50. Their argument was that most people over 40 require reading glasses and that that I should not be surprised with the deterioration in my eye sight. So that is how I visited an optician and did an eye test to find out what was wrong. My friends were right and my vision was not what it used to be.

So I got my glasses which I was supposed to wear while reading and while driving or watching TV. What a difference it made to me and my life. Suddenly I could see clearly and I was not struggling to read anymore.


I’m grateful for my glasses. They have helped me regain my sight and my life. It's been a few years since I have had them but I realise how badly I need them when they are not near at hand.

Day #89: Water (100 days of gratitude)

Day #89: Water (100 days of gratitude) There is one substance in the world which connects all of us together when we are alive. It is literally the substance that determines whether we are alive or dead. When we search for signs of life in other planets this is the substance that we search for to check whether there is life in it. If we don’t have enough of it in our body we will die. We need to ingest it and expel it regularly so that it flushes the toxins from our body and keep. I’m grateful for this magical substance that connects us all together – water.  In its purest form, it's odorless, colorless and tasteless. It's in our body, the food we eat and the beverages we drink. We use it to clean ourselves, our clothes, our dishes, our car and everything else around us. We use it to consecrate places and people. It is an essential part of all religious ceremonies. We can travel on it, jump into it, float up into the air using a balloon, drive an engine to t...

Day #87: Jim Reeves (100 Day Gratitude Challenge)

Day #87: Jim Reeves (100 Day Gratitude Challenge) Have you listened to Jim Reeves? If never, look him up on youtube and put on your headphones and listen to his evergreen numbers. If you have heard him long, long ago, you could also do the same. It’s been a long time for me and this week I’ve been listening to some Christmas songs and I stumbled upon his songs again. It brought back lots of long lost memories. It reminded me of a time when a song could be enjoyed with just a voice and a guitar. We didn’t need technology and synthesisers to create hits. The lyrics, the voice and a string instrument and an occasional percussion is enough to mesmerise you and take you into fantasy land. As I’m writing here, I’m listening to his “Twelve songs of Christmas” and being transported on a magical journey across yuletide land. His voice is what one can die for. It makes my heart pop out and go pitter-patter over his words. I wish i could be born again with his voice. God must have...
