  14. Just got reminded of this song in school days

    Count your blessings, name them one by one,
    Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
    Count your blessings, name them one by one,
    *Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.
    [*And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.]

  18. Oh u bet! I was always someone who feels grateful and takes pleasure in an ordinary day. I realized this even more when I watched the movie "open water". Its one sad terrifying movie if you look at it from the loneliness aspect.

    Nice post!

  40. Yummy Post :) Made me Hungry :) Typical south Indian Meal. Pickles are one thing i cant let go off :) Lovely Pictures Preeti. As they say you never know the value of it unless you miss it,Food is one thing that we need to thank god every day. This is what i learnt staying far away from home for years. And nice dinning area :) You enjoy food more only when you sit together & eat. The looks of it says that all of you sit together & have food , who would want to leave such a nice dinning area :)
