I tried my best to stop the year from passing away, but it refused and said that it's time has elapsed. What can I do then? I had to let it go, hence it has no power of it's own to stay back. But come to think of it, is anyone feeling the same way here? Are you thinking that 2022 was a kind of rushed? You know when we started by January 1, I thought that it will take a while before we will get to the end of the year, but I was wrong. Before two weeks or there weeks there about, the year just finished just like that. All that I am doing now is just to watch the beautiful year that I planned lots of things with, just passing without allowing me to accomplish my plans. No problems. I will just accept my faith.
But I have seen a glimpse of light in the coming year. I can see from all indication that the year is heavily pregnant and will soon put to birth. What it will bring forth depends on how well we handle it with all carefulness.
What I am most happy about?
LIFE! Life is what makes me happy. I am so happy that at the end of this year everyone around me survived all struggle and made it to this time. Though no regrets 馃檹 but the year was too harsh to me and almost all the people I know. It was not an easy journey for us this year. But here am I talking about it like nothing ever happened.
There has never been any year that things became this expensive. And you know when we buy things very expensive, only the ' haves' will not be affected. But this particular one, it affected most people. But at the end, we made it despite the difficulties. We were not swallowed by the hardship we faced this year. So, as a matter of fact, I am most happy that my family and I are alive today.
Secondly, I am most happy also because we are all healthy today. Health is wealth they say. I know that we have faced sicknesses at different levels and time, but after everything, we are still healthy today.
MY ACHIEVEMENTS IN THIS YEAR!
Even though the year came hard on us, still I was able to achieve something great. There are two major things that I will love to share with the house amongst all my Achievements.
Picture by my daughter.
For this particular one, all that I can say is that it is a miracle. A miracle because we were not expecting it to be very expensive. At first when she got admission into the university to study French, I never knew that when the time comes to travel out to French country, she can go with her mates. But God has a way of surprising his people. We spent not less than a million naira for her journey, both tuition fees, accomodations, feeding, transport and everything that is needed. God surprised us by raising people who cared and helped us send her out for her studies.
Picture by me.
Nex in line is the laying of foundation of our family house: This has been my biggest dream. To have a house that I can call our own. Since when I got married, I have been praying to have my own house. But it becomes possible two years back when we got a plot of land, then this year, we laid the foundation. Hopefully, by the grace of God next year, the house will be completed, and I will be called a land-lady. Hahaha 馃槃. That name is Soo sweet that I am hoping that one day, I will called by that name.
Well, there are so many things to talk about that I have achieved this year, but let me not bother you with all of that. Hoping to hear your own side of the story.
Good luck to everyone. I wish us all a happy new year celebration.
