These past few days with my parents visiting us and the extra special family time that I get to enjoy every day with them as well as watch Mishika bond with her grandparents more and more each day, I cannot but just be grateful and count my blessings for this beautiful life.

I feel extremely lucky to call this beautiful man and this sweet girl of mine ‘my family’. Also really thankful for my so kind and always giving parents, adorable sister and all my near and dear relatives all over the place that love me so much and mostly love Mishika to the heart and not to forget my lovely friends that are nothing less than family always creating a ‘home away from home’ for us.

Although I did not grow up celebrating thanksgiving but completely fell in love with this tradition after moving here. A day to give thanks, what could be better than that. 

Sitting down here on thanksgiving morning, trying to jot down things that I am grateful for, I can feel my mind rush through million things that I just realized I have been taking for granted all this while. There are so many small things that keep happening in our life that we very conveniently often overlook without realizing how much happiness they add to our daily lives.

So this Thanksgiving as I am here with my family and relatives in New York City all geared up to celebrate some good times and fill our tummy with some tasty bites all prepared by my aunts and uncles, I wanted to take a minute to jot down some beautiful things that I am thankful for in this beautiful life and cannot ask for anything better than that…

I am grateful,

for my sweet little girl Mishika whose beautiful smile lights up every little corner of our home,

for my amazing and kind husband Mayank who supports and loves me in my good and bad times equally,

 my parents who love me so much and are always so giving and kind,

for this beautiful life which I get to live daily, 

for the hot cup of coffee that brightens my every morning,

 for my little Mishika’s smile that melts my heart every single time,

for having the freedom to do things that I love and feel passionate about,

for my little blog that keeps me going for the lite mayonnaise that I eat with almost everything,

for Chinese food that I cannot go long without,

 for friends that always have my back,

and for all of you my sweet readers who have been supporting this little blog of mine all this while!

I am beyond thankful to each one of you who has taken the time to stop by my little blog today, yesterday or two years back when I had started it. Your kind support has been my biggest inspiration and motivation that has helped me keep going.

Today and every day, thank you so much for your support, kindness, and trust. From my little family of three, Mayank, Mishika and I wish you and your family a very happy thanksgiving!
