I am grateful

I am truly one of the worst bloggers around. It would probably be better to call this a logbook or kick it old school by calling it a diary. It has been almost 2 months since the last post and to be honest, its just not my thing to keep on trying to update a blogger site. But for marketing purposes it is a good thing and it gives you guys a little insight on what I personally experience while going through this incredible journey. As expected our trip to India was unbelieveable. After 2 days in Mumbai we finally took a bus out to Goa. The bus trip took us 4 hours just to get out of Mumbai, for the City was so cramped and literally full of garbage!For decades there has been no proper sanitary or garbage services. I am so much more aware even for the things we do not even realise is an absolute privilege to have and it has made me grateful. I am grateful to not have to sleep like thousands of kids in India, amongst the stench of endless rubbish and dead rats that packs of crows feed off! I am grateful for having both of my legs and not having to wake up everyday of my life and drag myself through the dirty streets of India by using only my arms and hands. I am grateful for having a rooftop over my head and not having to sleep with fifty other individuals under garbage filled bridges infested with cockroaches and rats. I am grateful for having clean water running from a tap and not having to bath in a polluted river with a dead dog floating next to me. I am grateful to realise on how lucky I am to simply stand up everyday with no deformity that is hampering my walking ability. I am grateful.
