This month has been a very tough one, maybe because of the brimming economic turmoil in my country, everyone is doing what they can to survive, many people have forgotten the word success, it's like a mirage to most people

If there are things I'm grateful for, it's the ability God has given me to still have a sense of purpose especially in this hard time, me being alive and my loved ones being safe and well

Being alive is a big blessings, earlier this month I was sick, though it was a little bit severe but I was not admitted to the hospital  nor was I on drip, the sickness didn't last more than five days but it was like I was in another world, knowing the value of health requires being sick, it's only those who are ill that can truly know what it means to be healthy.

We should always look back sometimes and be thankful for what we have overcome rather than mope and droll over what we have lost
Life is too short, we don't have to live it being complacent, complaining and grunting never helps anybody, if you continue complaining about the things you don't have' what you will get is more disappointment, instead live a grateful life.

The world will give you one thousand reasons why you shouldn't be grateful but you can in turn look for one million reasons you should be, you would not see any only if you are looking at the wrong side.

The more grateful you get the more life becomes easy, the biggest mistake you could ever make is to ignore the little things you have in your life, remember the kite flies high only because of its tail

I am grateful for scaling true last week successfully, something happened to someone just four days ago and I'm grateful in two ways for it, number one is I am grateful the person didn't die and number two I'm grateful I'm not the one it happened to.

Just two miles from where I live, a guy board a bike,motorcycle, going to a place called alogi, the destination is not too far from where he boarded the bike and while on the highway a bus ran them to the sidewalk and both the bike man and the gud looking guy were seriously bruised, the guy broke his arm and they were given first aid before taken to the hospital

I learnt from a neighbour that they are both getting better, and apart from his broken arm both guys didnt suffer any serious casualty, and for that I'm grateful to God that thier lives is been spared.

It pays to be grateful, thanks for your time.
