Gratitude laced with Anticipation

'Tis a season to be jolly...
la la la...

We are finally in the last day of the year 2014. I have read/seen so many things about resolutions from "new year, new me" to "it's just a date, no need to make a fuss." For me, it has been quite a year and I have never been into the "new year, new me" thing or one to make resolutions, but for the year 2015 I think I want to make some changes. First of all, I would like to recap the events of the year 2014. It has been quite a year actually, quite stressful and a few sad events did occur but I am filled with gratitude.

I started this blog early this year, not sure about the exact month, but I am sure I thought it was a waste of time. I mean there are SO many blogs out there what could I possibly have to say, but I am so happy I did. I am still quite shy about it, but with time I would get used to it, I hope! I am indebted to my friends who read every post, especially Tunrayo and Osa thank you for reading my naive diary. I never check my page views because it could be quite depressing but few days ago my cousin told me I had over 10,000 views and I was like yeah, right; she was kidding not! So for that merci beaucoup!

I am also grateful for my wonderful family, our Christmas break together was the perfect way to end 2014. My grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, brother and mother are simply the best! Love you guys to infinity and beyond.

The year 2015 will be an interesting one and I have been thinking of what I want to do and the milestones I want to reach but I have decided to chill and just let God take the wheel! But I have decided to actually make some changes and I am writing it here to make me accountable!

1) It was brought to my attention that your darling gal  is a bit passive. I know, hard to believe so I am going to make a conscious effort to be more active in 2015. I have been called lots of things but never passive and thinking about it, I think I am which is quite bad, don't you think ? I always thought it was just my shyness but I need to overcome that now, I am an adult now no time to be hiding under that excuse.

2) Be less careless especially around my mum! I don't know if it's just me, but whenever I am home, or around my mum I misplace things or in general things never go right.  For example, I lost my keys in the train and at McDonald's they forgot to give me my order, imagine out of the lot of us it was only my sandwich they forgot to serve. When we got home (keep in mind it was like 2 a.m after a very stressful flight) that I realized my sandwich had not been packed, so  I decided to just drink water and sleep but my mother felt I was been rude/prideful by declining the offer of everyone to share their Big Macs. Truly, I took it as a sign that God wanted me to stay on my #fitfam plan, let's just say my mum gave me more than a few pieces of her mind and brought to my attention all the mistakes I had ever made due to my carelessness. My excuse, she makes me nervous but I have decided to check myself and be extra careful.

3) Less defensive, this would be extremely difficult since I hate losing and can argue quite blindly at times just so I win.

4) Stop white lies. I don't tell big lies as I am a bad liar but I do tend to tell small lies or half truths. Realistically, reduce lies and tell more half truths.

5) Show gratitude, every day I will make a conscious effort to write just one thing I am grateful for. Let's see how long I can do it for.


This was meant to be a sweet post as it is the last post of the year but take it as it is. Have a prosperous new year and I wish you all the happiness and joy the new year has to offer. May every single one of us be blessed and may we grow and blossom to our fullest potential. So let's run into the new year with anticipation for all the good things that await us in 2015. See you on the other side!

Remember in 2015 to keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars!
Love always,

Seunla
