Greetings to you all and happy new year in advance!
It is few days to year, 2025 and I can't wait to enter into the new year. The year 2024 was great and it is a year that I am grateful for, though there were things I wish I did that I did not do, and there were other things I did but wish I had done otherwise. Above all, I thank God for the gift of life, and the privilege to enter into the last month of the year. I'm grateful that my errors did not cost me, my life but opened my eyes to areas that are neded to work on.
I would say, I misplaced my priority so much in this year. I didn't get my scale of preference right. I focused so much on working hard to save money and get some material things,

while I completely neglected my health and 'Health is wealth' they say. Starting from January, I have been working so hard with little or no rest in between. I trek alot under the sun to look for construction sites where I can approach the engineers on sites and advertise my business that I supply building materials. Aside having inadequate rest, I have also been under poor nutrition. How can I be working as hard as I do and not feeding well? I rarely eat three times a day. It is either I eat once a day or twice. The worst part is that I don't even pay much attention to the little I eat. How better would it have been, if it was balance diet? I am a carefree person when it comes to food. I eat whatever that comes my way, irrespective of whether it is deficient of nutrients or not.
No way that is going to happen in 2025, next year is going to be a better year. I will pay so much attention to my health by taking my nutrition seriously. By God's grace, I will always ensure I eat healthy food at least twice a day if not three times. I will make my health my priority by feeding on balance diet and having enough rest. A lot happened to me in year 2024 that taught me so much lesson. I fell ill almost every month in this year, since I would set out in the morning and trek a long distance without food in my stomach. I totally became a shadow of myself. November in particular, I was so lean and looking so malnourished. It got to a stage I was so ashamed of my look and started feeling inferior among my friends. In fact, this year, I visited hospital not less than 12 times but I thank God I have learnt my lesson.
The funniest thing is that all the money I was saving and depriving myself for was exhausted on drugs and series of test.
Had I known that wealth is not health, I would have priotise my health. Knowing that a living and healthy dog is better than a dead lion. It is only a healthy person that can hustle as he or she wants without breaking down. Currently, I have no savings, everything is gone. I wish I had used my money to eat better things. At least, I would have seen the effect on my body, even if I didnt add weight, my skin would have glown better. I am a woman, beautiful and lovely creature but I have deprived myself of so much and things have to change. In fact, next year, I'm going to work with a friend that is a dietician, we will journey through the year together. I will take to her guide as regards my nutrition and also rest as and when due.
While, I won't totally disregard my saving plan because it rescues in a time of need, it won't be my priority in 2025. I pray God restore all I have lost in year, 2024 and grant me a joyous entry into the new year in good health and peace. It's going to be a year of prosperity and good health in Jesus name.
Thanks for reading.
