Blog #gratitude

You have so much to be grateful for in your life. For a long time, I wanted to vomit when someone told me that. My first question would be grateful for what? Grateful for not having enough money? Grateful for living for pay check to pay check? Grateful for life’s disappointments? And so, I could list everything I wasn’t grateful for because life really sucks at times....

I lost my home, my income and my dad in one year and I thought I would not survive. Then having to start all over again from scratch with absolutely nothing was another blow. I was battling really hard to make sense of it and had to dig deep to find answers. Through the pain and the anger I learnt some very valuable lessons that helped to move forward, not in giant leaps but in tiny baby steps.
