Feeling Grateful

Yesterday, I went out to have lunch with my 4 sisters-in-law. The husbands of three of them are my husband's brothers, and one is my husband's sister. I was the one who asked them to have lunch. It's just a fact that my family is the one who has the most money (unless one of them has some treasure stashed away...).
At the weekend before yesterday, our big family has some kind of formal traditional event in my house. The event went well, and after that we all had a good time, singing and dancing. So I thought, why not prolong it a little bit more? Especially since my husband's sister that lives in some other island, is still here in jakarta.
So, we all met at a pretty nice restaurant. We were exchanging info about how we got there, when one of my sisters-in-law told us that it was much cheaper for her to meet us at the restaurant. If she goes to my house first, it would cost her sixteen thousands rupiah, but if she goes to the resto it would only cost her eleven thousands!! I was speechless. She was talking about less that twenty thousands rupiah!! I would throw around that kind of money without thinking..
Of course, I felt pity for her. But, it made me realized that I'm so blessed. So blessed.
