I never miss an opportunity to show gratitude because it keeps me grounded. Often we get consumed with life and everything it throws our way and forgot about the things we have going on for us. It is quite easy to focus on the worst things in our lives rather than the good. So I would like to use this post to remind myself of the good things in life now.
Firstly, I am grateful for the opportunity to do what I love--writing. I do not consider myself a professional but I do enjoy stinging ideas together and sharing them with the world, and being able to do this and also make a living out of it is more than I can ask for. It is a miracle, to say the least. I am living my dream and I am forever grateful for this opportunity.
Secondly, my partner. Love found me when I least expected it. I had totally given up on the idea of love until she came my way. It is one thing to be loved and a whole different experience being loved right. For the first time in a long while I have someone who loves completed; someone I can count on in difficult times; someone I confide in and share my life with. I will not trade this for anything in the world.
Thirdly, I am grateful to those who support me as a creator through their comments and upvotes. Without you guys, I won't be here. I appreciate the time and effort in giving me meaningful feedback. As a creator, your greatest joy is knowing that your words resonate with other people. As much as want to make money from my creative endeavour, it is paramount to me that I connect to people with my content. So being able to do this was a huge win for me.
Lastly, I am grateful for my life. As much as I would like to complain, I know a lot of my peers who are still struggling. Considering everything that's happening in my country right now, I feel privileged to have a roof over my head and a future to look forwards to. Many in this part of the world don't have this luxury.
So I say 'thank you' God/life for everything. I wish to give as much as I have been given.
