Journaling is supposed to be a cathartic experience. I am obviously blind to the merits as I keep running away from it. I lack the discipline to do it regularly but once in a while is something of a start.

I am a neuro junkie/ book nerd. I have always looked for answers in books. When I saw the image of a CT scan image of a woman kissing her child on the forehead all the regions in the brain that were glowing up made me realize that I do that and I can do a little more of that every day. Heaven knows me and my kids need more of the feel good hormones. 

Zunaira is a delightful first grader and never ceases to amaze me with her punk and strength. I had penned a beautiful note for her when she was a toddler which I now regret is lost with the old i phone that died.

What am I thankful for today...... Being alive and safe in these times. 

Being able to provide a groundwork for my kids education 

Being able to see them grow and interact with teachers and peers in this online learning set up.

Being given the gift of one more day of life which I can use to do something positive.
