^0^

today, nalla went to the temple.

when she came back, she saw me, and asked:

" do you go to the temple? "

i said yes.

she left.

shortly after, she came back with a beetle-nut leaf.

a red- stained leaf of kunkumam.

i think that is how people spell it.

and well, she put it for me.

hahaha.

i don't know why. but i just feel really happy.

this is:

happiness in simplicity. i guess.

Silent gratitude isn't much use to anyone. ~ G.B. Stern

i hereby express my gratefulness to the people around me,

the people i've gotten to know,

lord knows i've been taught many things by them,

the way life has turned out,

the assurance of waking up for another day of franticness,

and anticipating new experiences.

i'm grateful to myself too. :D

for being able to look at myself,

squarely in my face, and tell myself:

" i like you." and smile.

and feel satisfied about it.

thank you, living things,

and thank you, self. xoxo.
