Yet another year

Today as I turn a year older, I want to reflect on my past as well as my future. Truth be told, I have an AMAZING AMAZING circle. These are the people who have been with me through it all. These are the same people I would go out of my way to be of service to them. One thing for sure is that God has been ever present and I thank him for blessing me with yet another year. “Asante Mola!”
2016 is one year I will never forget. Firstly, I got married to the love of my life. This man, is the one person who has seen me at my best and at my worst. On the other hand, we have shared the good and bad times. My Mr. is one I would never ever trade for any other person in the world. I am in this with him until the very end.

The same same year, we got the most preciuos gift in the world, our little crown, born on the same day as Mr. man’s birthday. Trust me, that is one gift from me to him that will last an eternity.

I never thought a day would come when I would see less of my ‘born’ family compared to my ‘married’ family. I hope you get the drift here. Ooh well, as you read on you will understand what I mean. So now, once you get married (well, in my case), you get to spend more time with the ‘married’ family. I guess, it’s because the ‘born’ family is now tired of you being around. I joke…..my family can never get tired of me.

I truly have the greatest ‘married’ family I could ever wish for. My dad is just the most poised individual I know. My mum on the other hand, is just full of love; love that is ever overflowing. As for my brothers, they have been supportive all the way and I am more than blessed to have them in my life. Why lie, I love my family to the core. As the family continues to grow, I am looking forward to welcoming my sisters-in-law. Not one but two and my little niece(s) and nephew(s). I am glad I joined a family that is caring, devoted and affectionate. “His people are now my people.”

My ‘born’ family on the other hand, have been my day ones. These my people have seen me grow to the person I am today. Where to start??? My dad is one of my greatest support system. He can go hungry just to ensure my siblings and I have something on our table. After the passing of my dearest mother, dad has held our hands all the way. One thing he values is education. Again, he can go hungry or without upgrading his wardrobe and much more just to ensure he has paid school fees for each one of us. My sister ooooooh, this is one person I can turn to, any day every day. My brothers on the other hand, have always been protective of their sisters. The love I have for these gentlemen! Not forgeting my ever bubbly nephew. He is such a sweetheart. He brightens my day whenever I talk with him.

In life, it is good to know who your true friends are. So ‘they’ say! Now as an adult, I understand what ‘they’ meant. My true friends are the ones I call family and my close family are the ones I call friends. “Lord I can never tire of thanking you for these individuals in my life.”

In 2016, my friends planned a bridal shower for me then later in the year a time like this, three of my close friends baked a cake for me. Tell me that is not LOVE? These ladies are simply the best. I also have guy friends but they do not surpass the fingers on my hand.

If you know me, you know I value my circle. My life is what/how it is because of God and my people my people. I do not even want to imagine how life would be without them.

Clearly, 2016 was one great year. 2017 started on a good note and I believe this new year will be full of blessings and major strides. Happy new year to me!!!!! #AllGloryToGod #ToLove #ToFamily #ToFriends #ToGreatness
