Look at these series of events and tell me - do I read these as bad luck or good luck?
My uncle has a bad illness so he comes to stay with my dad. My aunt comes to take care of him. Uncle passes away. Aunt stays on. My dad has company.
My dad's building's meter room catches fire, dad's house is un-liveable. Dad and aunt move into my new house, enabling me to move into it - she helps set it up and make it liveable.
Sherrin gets a chance in Malayalee House, staying away from me for 6-7 weeks. My dad and aunt with me, so me not alone. And Sherrin not around so his work not impacted with so many people in the house.
My dad has a heart attack. He gets his treatment in his area. He moves back into his house, now liveable. My aunt takes care of him. I am fully functional in my own home.
My husband will come back soon. To a house now ours with all guests gone. My dad is back is in his house, healthy, safe and still with company. My house is setup.
And yet there were three tragedies or almost-tragedies that caused all of this. But see the sequence. Any of these things out of order and these events could have been disastrous. But the way these happened, something good came out of each situation.
Interpret this. God bless.

Agatha Christie
Reading some collection I got for free on Amazon. I really like to mysteries, the stories, the human angle. But the - depravity I believe is the word she herself uses for human nature - so depravity that underlines her stories gets to me sometimes. With the influencibility - I know that's not a word but whatever - that I have with books and tv, I absorb that mood and that desperateness or horridness, and it stays with me a while before I can shake it off.
Reading books
Reading Agatha Christie, and had an odd moment. When I read a book, unless it's completely horrendous, I usually get lost in the story. And for a few moments, I forget literally my environment. I still know I am reading a book, not living that life, but it's like I'm reading it in that environment. Or like watching a movie, if the book is that good.
And then there are moments when I cannot engross in the book, and instead I feel a bit like I am reading out loud to myself in my head, unable to fall into the book, but like I'm trying to force myself. And it's a weird out-of-body feeling really. More so than actually being lost in the book!
