I am really afraid of animals. But there's a cat sitting next to me as I write this on the couch. I find that I am not bothered. I feel grateful for that. The cat likes me I think.

I had lasik done a few weeks ago. The night glare or starburst is almost no bother now. I don't even notice it anymore. That's something to be grateful for. Thanks Doc.

Thank you for my relatively late sleep this morning. I had been getting little sleep these past few weeks, waking up at 5 30 am and then feeling drowsy all day long. So things ere looking up for me.

I got drunk this evening. But the fun part was meeting a lady. She is married to someone else but she is great. Kind and soft spoken, a great conversationalist. Of course I cannot have any chances with her. But thanks for at least allowing me to talk with her. Great person and so strong. She suffers from diabetes type 1 and has to inject herself a number of times during the day. Bless her please!

I am feeling somewhat low. I can't think of anything I want to be grateful for right now. But there must be something. I just edited the first two lines here. Exchanged the first and seoond. I guess I should thank my ability or interest in writing for me to be able to do that.

Because of the number of entries I have been posting, it is becoming easier for me to be grateful for things I would have had a hard time imagining to be grateful for before. So I am happy that I have been learning this part of my chacacter which I hadn't polished before.

I have been visiting my sister in Tokyo this past one week. It's rained once only. I was thankful for the sun this morning. It's nice to be able to find something to be grateful for now.

Just re-reading my entries to remind me what I have been going through lately. Not surprising going through them again was really helpful. So thanks to this website's owner. Your idea and labor has made a difference in my life. Thanks!

I read the Secret recently. Its sort of influenced my life I guess. At least its helped a lot in what I think has been a difficult time for me. Thanks for that too.

I really thank my sister who I am visiting these days for being so encouraging with me all the time.
