Grateful and Beyond

There are so many things to be grateful for;  it's a great thing to write about because we can loose perspective sometimes with the mountains of responsibilities and concerns we face everyday. I'm grateful to be 'above ground' with good health and a family to nurture and take care of. I am grateful for the good people around me. 

Appendicitis came as a sudden blow to me, as to everyone else that have experienced it. The purpose of my posting is to comprehensively bring together my feeling of gratefulness and care that the experience has brought with it, and for me to be there for each one of them in time of need. 

Hubby, I am grateful for, first and foremost for staying right there with me throughout. I have to thank my friends for offering to take care of Archana through a couple of nights. If I named all the friends from wonderful acquaintances to tried and true friends, I'd have exceeding the limit on my posting. I do know there are a lot of good people, near and far, who I can count on, who care about me, and who want only the best for me. I truly value my friends and will never have "enough" or too many.

To mention a few - Jayashree, Priya, Nipa, Vandhana, Ginu, Malathi, Swathi, Anu, Anju, Vani - thank you so much for bringing me freshly-made home cooked food and visiting me.

Uma, Prati, Leena, Revathi, Rohini, Lakshmi, Ruma, Vila, Vidya, Krupa, Ramya, Brinda  - thank you for showing that you care through your emails and phone calls. 

Thank you amma and appa for your ample phone calls from India enquiring about me. Thank you to all of you at my workplace, and hubbys' - for your emails. As is my nature, I never forget any one's good deeds and I will always reach out to them when they need me. How can I forget to thank my boss at work, who were extremely supportive - Jason and Saurabh.

Thanks to each one of you who sent their wishes to me on facebook and telling that you care.
