LIFE IN A YEAR
Gratitude!
Dearest Reader,
I am super glad I get to write to you again. We have come a long way, and I appreciate you for always sticking with me. It is a day to the end of the year and the last time you'll read from me this year. I am happy! *Inserts hug*
When this year started, I wrote down what I wanted for myself—a practice I have come to love— and I am glad because it served as a reminder of where I am headed.
I am quite aware that the act of sharing highlights/achievements might seem cliché, but what's a better way to end the year other than counting your blessings and sharing notable ones?
2023 happened to be a great year for me as I got a bit intentional about myself. Not that I can say I achieved all of my goals, but I am glad I even had the thought to do so.
To summarize my 2023, here are a few aspects of my year that I'd love to share with you.
• GOD AND GLORY
This aspect of my life amazes me. I am always in awe of how much love God has for me. This year, a few awesome things happened that I couldn’t help but wonder why, and I was always reminded that I have a God who listens. God did see me through this year!
• WORK
I don't have a job, so I am summing this up into my academics, writing, and maybe some other skills I have. In 2023, my academic life thrived—an academic highlight for me was my first clinical posting. Made me realize how underrated good health is. My writing skills increased and I can say that putting my work out a little bit more helped me, as I was appointed the team lead for my department's media and editorial unit. Other side attractions in this aspect include some dresses I made and a hat I crocheted.
• FAMILY AND FRIENDS
As usual, my family remains my huge support system. Always there to listen and guide me. My friends also made 2023 great for me. I connected with a lot more people than I usually would and this helped me see how much love I should have. I am indeed grateful for the gift of men!
• LOSSES
2023 was not without its challenges, as I experienced a few losses that touched me deeply. One thing that always amuses me is how you can never get used to grief, no matter how much you have experienced. The only consolation is to hold on to hope and live the best way you can.
°°°
In all, the year was a rollercoaster of emotions for me. I lived, I loved and I ate! I believe you also had a great year, feel free to write back to me, I'd love to know how this year went for you too.
Oh! This year, I also started sending you way better letters than I used to which I count as an evidence of growth and I enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you for sticking with me, I look forward to sharing more with you and expanding my range, come 2024.
Thank you so much, I adore you!
Take your flowers as a token of my love….
With all my love,
Omoremi
