Hi guys!
So it’s a few hours it’ll the new year and some of us are super excited while some aren’t as stoked as others.
Some look at 2017 in all its glory and reminisce the happy memories.
Others look at the failures and the ‘what could have beens’.
But I want to encourage everyone that in spite of the current situation, be thankful.
If at all there is nothing else,be thankful that you’re alive to witness another splendid year to come.
I want to share this poem I came across today and hope that it speaks to you as it did me ๐
Thankful

Thankful for this life I live
And for my God above
Thankful for this time I have
To share with those I love
Thankful that I have my health
And the wealth that I may need
Thankful that I have a job
And loved ones next to me
Thankful for the friends I’ve made
Who stand faithful by my side
Thankful for the lessons learned
That now guide me through my life
Thankful that I have a house
A place that I call home
Thankful for my family
And the love felt from my son
Thankful for this land I love
And for those who fight for me
Thankful for all who gave their life
For this land that we call free
Thankful for this life I live
And for my God above
Thankful for this time I have
To share with those I love
Thankful
