The first of the year definitely comes with good vibes and being alive to witness it gives many people reasons to celebrate.
A lot of things would have made my first day of the year a perfect one but I am still very much grateful to God for the grace to be alive today. Perfect or imperfect, the first day of the year was great for me. I tried a few things on the first day of the year and my experience was awesome even though it's nothing compared to family time.
In response to the Hive learner contest for week 43, a perfect first day of the year has a lot of things attached.

I have three beautiful sisters abroad and whenever I think about them, I always wish that I could spend at least one day with them. My dad's wife abroad gave birth to them and I love them just like my siblings here in Nigeria.
Before Christmas, while I was having a chat with them. One of them asked if they could come to celebrate Christmas with me and I had a hint of how desperate they wanted to meet me. We haven't met before but the bond is strong and I sometimes wonder why we feel so connected to each other just by making video/voice calls.
I told her coming to Nigeria would be stressful for them and I promise to visit them someday. They aren't the only ones longing to meet me, I also wish to meet them, and meeting them on the first day of the year would have made the day a perfect one for me. I don't know how long it will take but I believe I will get to meet them someday.
The first day of the year used to be a time for celebration but not everyone could afford just one meal that day.
I went to receive a package around 10 am and it would interest you to know that they were bigger on the road that day. People were hawking drinks and snacks on that day despite the cold weather, making the first day of the year memorable for them would definitely make it perfect for me.
I derive so much joy in assisting people, I don't know why or how but helping makes me feel this genuine happiness.
Aside from this been a post, feeding, clothing, and providing some necessary things for the less privileged is something I have always dreamt of doing and I know that someday, I will capable to do so.
Spending the first day of the year abroad with my family would make my first day of the year perfect.
It's winter time in some countries now and it would be fun to travel out of the country. It's the family's dream to travel together so it would be a dream come through for us.
It is quite a long list of things that would make my first day of the year perfect but the few I have mentioned top the list for me.
Thanks for reading.
