So, how are you?

A question I am frequently asked and have the hardest time answering! The answer is generally found somewhere between "great" and "I don't know exactly". So, here's how I would love to answer this question next time it is asked of me:

-The Genius option on iTunes has saved me from many a bad mood.
-Peas are my new favorite veggie.
-Skype makes my life exponentially better than it would have been without it.
-The seeds in the middle of Jackfruit freak me out a little (I think they look like unborn babies. See, disturbing.).
-I now put chilli powder (yes, 2 l's) in everything--including chocolate desserts and vegetable soup.
-Grief, quite frankly, sucks. And then it meets Jesus. And then you are better than you were before.
-After being exposed to a portion of the 1 billion Indians in this country, my husband is still my favorite person in the world.
-I've had a sudden realization that once you get pregnant, you can't go back (no, we are not pregnant. Just an epiphany I've recently had.).
-I WILL learn Tamil.
-I'm more anxious for Heaven than ever.
-I've cooked some pretty stellar meals lately.
-I love and hate my 2 mile walk to get groceries.
-My Christmas 'pudge' is officially gone. One of the many gifts India has given me.
-I really like my family a lot.
-Best friends having babies might be one of the greatest things in the world.
-I can take "long walks on the beach" whenever I want to.
-India is a home for us now.
-Christ is often found in the strangest of places...

So, that's how I am. All of those things wrapped up into one is me, today.

so, how are you??
