” Gratitude is the wine for the soul. Go on. Get drunk. “
Rumi
As you all know, I am practicing gratitude from last year. This has helped me to realize the beauty of my life and to celebrate it. I’m in thirst of exploring some simple ways to include gratitude in my everyday life. The highlights of my gratitude moments for July 2017 :

Celebrations
Celebrated my son’s 14th birthday in a heartfelt way at Avvai Ashram, and Shanthi Deaf and Dumb School, Sivasailam. We are celebrating his birthdays with these children right from Mithu’s first birthday. He also enjoys the friendship and warmth of those children. Really those were unforgettable moments.


Gratitude Pie
Gratitude Pie is an initiative started by Upasna to record our gratitude list every day. Happy to join with her on some days of June.

Home Sweet Home
Our days are made more beautiful by my hubby being with us after a long time. And also our happiness getting increased day by day with more lovable and cute additions to our Home Sweet Home.

This is one thing I learned from a college friend and that’s to be grateful, and thankful. So yes, it’s an important aspect to practice and share. Good luck with this month. 🙂
