Gratitude journal launch

I've been wanting to set up a gratitude journal and write posts straight from the mobile but I just couldn't get the Ghost to work until now.(?)

Today didn't start out great. I didn't sleep well and woke up with a terrible backache, which was really bad timing since my drive test was today. But everything worked out well and I passed! You being there for me lent me great support, and I'm really grateful that you waited for me because I wouldn't have the support I needed otherwise.

I could tell how elated you were when I told you about it. When I showed you my score, you were squealing loudly with delight and it took me by surprise. It was a very strong emotional reaction that I don't get very often from you, but yet it had a strange sense of familiarity that I couldn't place my finger on then. It made me feel like I mattered a lot to you, and I really liked it. In retrospect, I remember now when I've heard these squeals of delight - When we registered with ROM, and when Olivia was born. I remember you feeling embarrassed by your reaction when we were watching the video of Olivia's birth, and wanted to mute the audio. But you shouldn't feel embarrassed. It makes me happy to see these outbursts of pure joy from you. It assures me that you feel for us, that you care for us.

That I married the right man. A man who is not afraid to show the world how much he loves his family.

That you're actually proud of me.

After passing the test, we put on our thickest skins and prepared for our second battle, but to you it was your third battle. Because of us, you had to use your rest time to do work.

And you made time for us to pump the bicycle tires after all. And cooked ravioli for us. Yums. I know, I may have compelled you to do so, but I'm still grateful all the same!

We may quibble when you attempt to teach me things like driving no and cycling,
but know that I'm amazed at the things you can do. You may not be the best teacher and I may not be the best student but that doesn't stop me from thinking you're amazing, which is probably why I married you in the first place.

We might not be religious but I had a fleeting thought just now while you were doing work in our living room just now - that maybe God really exists. Because I have you and Olivia.

Even now, you're still working hard away and haven't had a real break. Poor laogong. Hope you can sleep soon.
