GRATEFULNESS

I love coco melon animation, I spent a reasonable amount of time watching different episodes of it with my baby this year. For the record, I am a proud aunt (and the best partner in crime, shhh don't tell anybody, lol). My favorite episode which I think I've enjoyed the most was a particular episode where the kids were allowed to ask each other about what they are grateful for. Each of them was asked to go on and make a list of the things that they are grateful for in their life.

I was struck by the question directed at kids so I wondered, why can't I write on it? My wonder brought about this blog post. So here's me asking you;

"WHAT ARE YOU GRATEFUL FOR?"

For me, this year was saddled with some regrets as well as good times but at the same time, I have quite a lot to be thankful for. Few days to my birthday this year, I had a panic attack stemming from the feeling I had towards my new age. I felt like I was not prepared for this year and the age I clocked. I felt like I was really behind in everything, like everyone was getting  ahead while I am just stuck in one place. I guess it was just the pressure in my generation but then it got to me a lot. The year started so rough for me but in the face of the roughness, I am grateful for my tough and unbowed spirit. This year and by extension, my new age, stopped me from being a cry baby. I took responsibility for every one of my actions. I promised myself to be a responsible adult and take charge of my life in every aspect. So far, I am glad that I have done a lot of that this year.

Starting this blog was another major thing I did this year. The idea of this blog was conceived about 7 years ago but getting started earlier this year was a dream come true. In addition to this achievement, I got into another career path, started a business (though I'm still laying the foundation ), found love, lost it, took charge of my emotions., bla bla... the truth is the list actually goes on and on nevertheless, I am very grateful for everything I went through this year. I'm grateful for every mistake, grateful for my family, grateful for the few friends I am blessed with, it took a lot of courage for me to come up with this but 2022 has indeed been a great year.

I could go on and on but let me keep it short and simple.

This is for everyone that had a rough year and did not  give up; I am super proud of you and how far you have  come, I am especially proud of your undying spirit. It was an exhausting year but look at you standing strong. Well done guys, keep the energy charged.⚡ 

Till I write to you again, keep your spirit up. I love you. 💋
