Things I am thankful for...2

Now I've decided to blog and now my blogs can't go up...but well...I'd rather do this offline than not...This post is from yesterday

I am feeling in a mild tizzy (don't know what that word means but it sounds right for how I feel). A combination of euphoria, excitement, fear and hope all at the same time.

Things seem on the way to perfect in my life...I am getting close to cruise control. Gently touching the flow state. I feel panic rising but it's too mild to eve register on my scale. Compared to how I felt last week, things are looking up.

I think I feel this way because I realise that my pronouncements have influenced the way I have felt in recent weeks and it is time for me to focus only on positive pronouncement. This has led to a recognisable lifting of my spirits.

So back to the continuing serialisation of things I am thankful for...

Day 2
I am thankful for the gift of family. Friends you can choose, family you are born with. I am very grateful for the family I was born into. Proud, hardworking people who nutured in me the spirit of self-reliance firmly blended into a feeling of community. People who encouraged me to make something out of my life through their encouragement but also through the examples they showed me. And yet they are open to supporting the less able amongst us. I THANK YOU MY FAMILY FOR ALWAYS BEING WITH ME THROUGH THICK AND THIN. I love you all very much and whereever I am in the world, I hope to be a proud representative of my LONGE family. Mi o ni gbagbe omo eni ti mo je ati ile ti mo ti wa lai lai!!!

Things I am thankful for...1

So every once in a very long while, I'd remember I have a blog. I'd come here, say I am turning a new leaf, I'll be an active blogger. Make 2 rapid posts and then fall into the pit of blogger oblivion. So even though this seems like another one those times seeing as I haven't used this space for donkey years, I won't be making any promises. When you see me, you see me (apologies Dear Reader).

Anyways, perhaps my biggest challenge has been knowing what to blog. should I write about things I have been up to. should I write about how I am feeling, should I write about things that inspire me...I know I can do all these and more and my blog has been all of these at different points.

Today I just want to talk about things that I am thankful for. I realise that in the past months, I have spent so much time moaning about the things that are not right, not complete in my life and not enough appreciating the things, people and experiences that make my life tick. I want to switch into appreciative mode as a means of seeing more of the things that are amazing in my life and I know there are loads of them

I will try to serialise this into a series of very short posts. Hopefully I will enjoy this so much, i'll keep coming back...HOPEFULLY!!!!

Day 1
Today, I am thankful for the gift of friends. People who like me despite my shortcomings. People I like being around. People who inspire me through their lives and who hopefully I inspire as well. People who are there to celebrate with me life's victories and who give me strength when things are not going so well.

To all my true friends, you know who you are. THANK YOU FOR BEING IN MY LIFE. I am really truly thankful that I know you and I hope I can be for you what you are for me...A TRUE FRIEND.
