365 days;How about gratitude?

If the only prayer you say in your life is ‘thank you,’ that would suffice.” – Meister Eckhart

Reading through this quote and so much seemed to run through my mind.It now makes sense. What if we’re stuck somewhere in life just because of gratitude issues? We often complain so much about life and how life has been to us,how harsh and miserable it has been, and all the tragedies it has caused us.

365 days, and no gratitude for all it has offered?Life has never been easy and so has this year been for quite a number of us. Does this mean we trash all the beautiful things it brought to us?A big thank you to the 365 days we’ve had,we count it done.Let’s look through what it has offered, perhaps we would think through it,and give it its gratitude.

A thank you for the good health it brought to us. Even if it wasn’t the best,it could have been worse. Worse still, so many have lost it, and God still gave us a chance,he’s continued to give us a chance to breathe in life,live for a better day and a chance to try again.Good friends. Surely,these days can’t have passed by without finding someone up for keeps. It doesn’t matter how many you made. Remember, its the quality of friendships,not the quantity So we’re grateful for the gift of friends 2019 brought. It coupled life with memories so dear to us. They gave us a chance to hold on a little longer.

A toss to the weekends and holidays we had. We’re grateful they rejuvenated us.They gave us reason to celebrate.Most importantly,they brought the seemingly disappearing joy to our faces.They reminded us of great days to celebrate.The days wouldn’t have shifted without you dear.

Having a partner.The days were rough and tough,but your partner stood by.He kept pushing you to greater achievements. She gave you the utmost support when you needed it.For the challenges that passed by and still kept the bond stronger,we can’t stop to say,Asante Baba.

Learning from mistakes.So this year has really kept the mistakes rolling like its all it prepared for us.The disappointments only got greater by the day.The nights we had to cry over it all,and still had nothing much to do about it were so long enough that I don’t want to recall them. We’re grateful because we could still pick up ourselves.Most importantly,we’re grateful we learned quite a lot and this only made us became better people.The sunsets.The sunsets are a reminder that we should enjoy the simple things in life.365 sunsets, and you still can’t see how amazing God is??He gave us chance to see the sun set even on our most horrible days,on days when we thought we had lost everything,on days when we thought we couldn’t become better.On all these days,he didn’t turn his back on us,he gave us a chance to appreciate the simple things in life. Merci beaucoup.

The captivating eye he gave us can’t seem to be exchanged for a thing.He has given us a pair to view the world’s beauty, appreciate all we have and see the beauty in everything. If we can’t be grateful for these great things we call little,then shame on us.Waking up every single day being the most important thing for us only means we can try again,push harder and work smarter.365 mornings we’ve seen and we don’t seem to be thankful?? Be reminded its not a mandate.We therefore don’t take it for granted.We’re more than grateful.Wisdom that comes with age. Amazing how each one of us has an awesome +1,a day we deem most important,because its a day we were brought into this world. This year you certainly asked for more wisdom,greater and better health,more motivation and more gigs. This year that you added a year only means the new age comes with growing smarter over time. For this, we’re gladly grateful.

Time.Although we think there’s never enough of it,its something we should never take for granted. Every tick of the clock is a chance given,a life offered,a mistake rectified, a moment shared,a lesson learned, and so much more.For the time you gave us,we’re grateful,for all those who offered their time,God bless you,and for those that denied us a second of your time,hopefully you adjust in the next 365 days.Most importantly,our gratitude is for love. 365 days without love is impossible. We’ve all had chance to receive or give love. This is a time we’re grateful for. Its simply because no one forced us to love or offer love. This is something we’re grateful for every single day of our lives. Something we’re glad we did,and most importantly,something we’re proud of.!!
