Still Standing, Still Grateful.

One thing I've come to notice about Christmas is the fact that it always makes us take a pause to think, reflect and all. Maybe because immediately after Christmas, we are always set to enter a new year, and we all want to do that with a good and different mindset. And as the year is coming to an end again, and everywhere is bubbling with Christmas in the air, I can't help but find myself in that state again, where I sit down to think, reflect and how the year was for me.

First off, I'm grateful for life and my health. For a very long time I've come to respect and appreciate good health. Most people underrate it and it or really think much about it. They just go about living life and doing things any way, but someone like me who has gone through a lot healthwise, I can't deny the massive gift good health is. Also, I'm grateful for both family and friends. Thanks for all you do, thanks for standing by me, thanks for being the best. I'm grateful to y'all. I'm grateful for those who are gone, I appreciate those who have gone distant, a big thanks to those who disappointed me as well. You all taught me to be patient, forgiving, loving, caring and setting boundaries. I'm grateful for the food and bad memories as well. Thanks a lot.

One of the things that comes with Christmas as i said earlier, is the fact that it comes with making us reflect and look back. One of the things we often do at such times is to let go and forgive, all because we won't want to carry any grudge into a new year. Aside all of that, we think about all of our plans, those that we achieve and those that we didn't get to bend start, them we try to restrategize and plan again. So, as it's the end of the year, I'm trying and I believe I'll definitely forgive certain people and just let go, at least for my own peace, and I would beseech y'all to do same too. Even if they don't deserve it, you deserve peace. So, please let go.

Also, thinking back now I'm really glad and appreciating myself for trying my best to be kind and caring. I really haven't done much, but I've done the little I could, even though it's mostly for kids. I have always loved kids, maybe because of their innocence and the fact that I learn a lot from them, from the way they treat, play and do things with one another, unlike us who are older, so what I do is mostly for them. Now, this Christmas I'm planning to give out, not the regular kind of giving out though, I would be visiting the hospital and help buy few pills/drugs injections for few patients.

I had earlier planned it to be a little big, maybe sort the whole bills or operation fees of one or two patients. But presently, there's little funds, but I would still go ahead to do the little I can just so to put a smile on someone's face. And as today's Christmas, that's what I'm set out to do. And one of the reasons why I'm doing this is because someone somewhere did the same for me some time ago when I was bedridden too. It's something I can never forget, and for as long as I'm alive, I won't stop doing the same, even if it's small.

So, this Christmas, I'm choosing to be full of gratitude, to let go, to be kind, to forgive and to do the little I can. And that to me is enough to close the door on the year.

Merry Christmas To Y'all ❤️
