List of 1000 Gratefuls (51-60)

51. Quiet! No kids yelling, crying, and screaming and the end of the cacophony of Hindu and Muslim and Catholic songs when the electricity goes out 2-3 times each day.
52. Really good Indian masala tea...so much better than what most of us know as a chai latte.
53. No one knocking on my door, endlessly from 6 am to 10 pm.
54. Bitter gourd gravy. The bitterness lingers in the back of my throat all day (yuck!), but I know it has to be killing the bugs inside of me (right!?).
55. My husband's cell phone, set to silent.
56. Parantha (a type of Indian bread), 6 pieces for less than $1 at our local restaurant, served with local chicken gravy...one of my favorite Indian comfort foods.
57. Hunger satiated by excellent food.
58. Six blessings (living puppies) amid the sadness (the death by poison of our beloved watch dog Baby).
59. Being able to successfully express myself without messing up in Tamil, my husband's mother-tongue.
60. New endeavors. (Check out the blog I will be contributing to in 2012 - 66 Books in a Year - http://66books.wordpress.com/)
