In our daily struggle to meet deadlines, fulfill goals, make ends meet, we tend to forget something: to be grateful for being alive!
Gratitude may seem like a little thing and good health might seem like a given until we are restricted from doing our seemingly normal daily routine because of ill health.
I found myself in this position recently and although it was not a life threatening sickness, I remembered how my cousin slept and never woke up: and he was younger than me.
😰 whew!
I haven’t really lived because I am looking for the next thing to achieve and time is just passing me by. So I realize, gratitude is a big part of life and the heart that is not grateful for the little things will never be content. Meanwhile, I think that’s a major reason withers prevalent “get rich quick syndrome” we have today.
I saw a carousel post on daily habits and one of this is writing three things you’re grateful for, every morning. So, even as I lay in my bed all tired from ill health, I’m grateful for:
➡️the gift of life
➡️the ability to earn steady income monthly
➡️family and friends that check on me to be sure I’m okay, especially my sister who freaks out if I don’t pick my calls lol😆
What are you grateful for??? Comment below ⬇️
This is the first verse of a poem I wrote in view of the #endsarsprotests and now what has been going on in my country Nigeria. It's depressing to even come online or listen to the news because it's one tragedy after the other.
So, as someone who expresses what she feels, I had to write this.
