Last evening, we, the residents of Nashua, NH, experienced the first snowfall of the season. This is my first winter in this part of the United States....and I loved the view and the feel of this beautiful city after it is covered with the new snow of the season. The sky was overcast for the most part of the day and evening and my prayers to see the full moon shine upon the first snow remained unanswered.....and I missed the glittering evening delight but hope to catch it some other time this season....!!!
The heavy snowfall sometimes becomes difficult and gets in the way of our daily activities here but nevertheless I am excited for a whole new experience.....!!! :)

"Gratitude is the memory of the heart.."
Reader's Digest is one of my favourite reading materials. I love this magazine because of its interesting articles on an extended range of topics..the magazine provides me with doses of humour, famous quotes, lifestyle lessons, real life incidents and experiences....and even good recipes sometimes...!!
All of a sudden, today, I started writing about Reader's Digest because this latest edition carried an article about one gentleman's experience about the effects of two little but very important words in our lives - Thank You.
The piece gave me a renewed insight about the importance of being thankful for what we are blessed with....the persons and possessions of our lives. The thought that moved me the most in the article is, I quote -
"Until you learn to be grateful for the things you have, you will not receive the things you want."
We sometimes forget to thank other people or even just be grateful for what we already have and rather crib about what we don't have or about the things we want even then...
The feeling of being grateful is rewarding and this feeling gives us the hope and persistence to sail through life - to be happy for what we have, to feel for those who don't have even that much, to be patient for what we want to have and to let go of what we were not destined to have... :)
