Hello everyone, I hope everyone is safe and healthy and taking good care of yourselves.
It’s been quite long since I posted anything on my blog, and this is my post after almost a year’s hiatus.
It’s a post about gratitude, and how my own culture and tradition had – unknown to me – tried to inculcate this into me way before I read the Secret (which was just some four years back). I invite anyone with an interest in the topic to kindly share any insights you might have!
[ Fair warning, it’s long – around 1000 words when I checked! ]
If you can spare the time and energy to give feedback however, I would deeply appreciate it.
