Back in September 2018 I started a series titled Complaints vs. Thankfulness. I only did three posts on it and I couldn't complete the series which I had wanted to make 7 posts long because of the seven songs that had inspired the series back then.
At the time, I had been struggling with being formally unemployed for about 3 years. I wasn't starving or living on the streets but being constantly at home was getting to me. One day, whilst I was complaining - albeit internally, a song came on and it was about thankfulness. It took that one song to help me realize that if I kept on complaining, I would remain miserable and so I decided to choose thankfulness and unwittingly - hope came along for the ride.
Interestingly, it was just a week after those three posts that my long wait came to an abrupt end. My thankfulness somehow took me where my complaints never did. However, I was unable to finish the posts as planned. It has now been 3 years since I started that series and I intend to finish it - for now - and inspiration has coincidentally struck right around thanksgiving!
The posts I will be sharing in the next few days were written to achieve 1 aim - to reflect and shift your perception on the past year.
This year was a challenging one for me and it probably was for you too but but if we reflect back on it, as I have, we may realize that there are
MORE REASONS TO BE THANKFUL than to complain.
I will be posting at 7:30am everyday from Monday 21st November 2021 to Thursday 26th November 2021. The posts on Wednesday and Thursday will be twice a day with the second post of the day at 4pm to the commemorate thanksgiving celebrations- Watch Out for them!
