I had a healthy sense of gratitude even before Beckett was born. The past 11 months have just heightened and sharpened that sense. I wish more folks around me shared the same level of gratitude for what's happening in and to our lives, and for the transformation we're witnessing in ourselves as individuals and as a family.
But on the whole, I have too much to be grateful about. From Beckett's health to her upkeep to the creature comforts that we enjoy to the work that I get to do.
Beckett has games she plays with everyone in the family. Like trolling Atman, or Peek-a-boo with Baa, or Giggles Galore while climbing down the stairs and seeing mummy rushing from behind, or 'Hawa maa Paand da ude, Aarvi ne bau game' (The leaves fly in the air and Aarvi likes it very much), or Adko Daduko, or meeting and greeting each of her inanimate friends like Snow white, Panda, and the likes, immediately after waking up in the morning, or telling Pappa where to go and charting the course of the daily walks.
Here's to one full year of gratitude and games. May this just be the beginning.
