Gratitude list – Day 3

Posted on by Vinitha

After a gap he was back on my head today, like a long-lost enemy who likes me more than a dear friend. Our relation goes a long way back, I believe since my school days. He is more like a family friend. My mom always used to talk (complain) about him. So I have known his presence early in my life through my mother.

What haven’t I done to shake him off of me! God knows! So does the doctors I have been to. If ‘vicks vaporub’ or ‘amritanjan’ was good enough to get rid of him in the early days, an ibuprofen does the job now. But he will be back, as a trust worthy friend, ready to mend the broken relationship. He disguises himself as migraine, sometimes as the stress, or as the sinusitis. Now, because of him I have one more best friend, that is my Ibuprofen. I go nowhere with that small tin filled in. His presence makes me aware of my head in an obvious fashion.

I am so ready to cut the cord and be on my own. I accept my head as is without his presence too.

 

To tell the truth over the years he has taught me few lessons. One is to be thankful for those moments when he is not around. So today’s gratitude list is wrote by itself:

  1. I am really thankful for all those moments, all those days, where I didn’t have to deal with the constant nagging pain on my head.
  2. What will I do without those hot cups of tea? I am so grateful that I get to drink tea whenever I crave for one. I have five different flavors of tea in my home, ready to be devoured as and when I need one. You guys make my day, really!
  3. I am thankful for the washer without which I really believe that I would have preached against wearing clothes! 🙂 Yea, I am lazy, especially when it comes to washing clothes with my hands, and having done that for almost 12 years of my life, I am confident that I just hate the washing process.

And that concludes the gratitude list for today. 🙂

  4. Loved the whole process of scribbling down the Gratitude List, it is sure to instill positivity. I also happen to read the post which propelled you take this initiative. Felt great to read all the three installments and how the whole process inspired you to gather positives from the daily chores / routines – thats what the life’s moto should be.

    God Bless and keep your good work on!!

  5. Talking about aches and sinusitis, I could very well be the brand ambassador for Vicks (vaporub, tablet, inhaler- I have it all)!! And your gratitude for the washer reminds me that I have a heap of clothes awaiting cleaning, but I’m grateful that my husband shares the boring chore 🙂

  8. I too like lazing around and when I dont get to do so and work continuously, burn out happens like it happened when the grandparents were at my place. Ssshhhh…..I am grateful to live alone without them, to be out of the line of fire.
