Not even a great article on the first day.

31st of December 2021.

I didn't wake up with the writing moral I slept with last night, I had my mind traveling everywhere because I feel like there are things I didn't do and must do before the year runs out which reaching out to people I haven't contacted for long is on the list, they are mostly elders and I don't expect them to put in so much energy into calling me like they did 5 - 10 years ago so getting in touch with them since I didn't do that for a while now seems very important to me.

I am the type that doesn't talk much via phone call and that helped me out, I able to reach almost all of the elders on my contact. Some were happy to hear my voice while some showed displeasure because I was too far away from them but what mattered to me was satisfying my conscience.

While asking of some of the elders I grew up knowing, I was told about three who died a few months ago and I felt really bad about it. One thing we should be grateful for today and always is the gift of life because seeing the end of every year is a privilege. I am glad I did make those calls because we were to happy hear from each other again despite all that has happened.

If you are alive seeing the new year, you don't know the weight of the grace God has given you. While we are preparing for the new year, I saw a local ambulance carrying a dead body, and my heart ached because I understood that lots of people will still pass away before the new year.

1st of January 2022.

I don't know why it took so long to achieve this but I know there is a purpose for every delay in life, it has been quite a long journey but God has been faithful.

The delay happened for a reason but today marked the beginning of a new thing in our lives, we still have lots to achieve and I pray God sees us through to the end.

I have been busy in reality, I have lots to catch up with and that's one of the important reasons why we mustn't encourage procrastination.

Waiting for the last minute to do some things sometimes in life do not end well so we must always do things almost immediately after planning if we have the opportunity to avoid the plan remaining a plan forever...

@HappyBoy do say he procrastinate a lot but I doubt if he surpasses mine, it is a habit I hope to finally drop someday. It would make you postpone things until it gets too late, it has affected me many times because it won't make you grab some opportunities that might not come again in decades.

It usually looks like we have all the time in the world because it is still January but time doesn't wait for anyone. Just like the previous year went like a flash, 2022 will zoom off as well and in the end, the time we see as unlimited will become limited. By then, we will try to rush but it might be too late.

Back To Topic...

I have seen numerous New year posts on and off the platform stating things they want to achieve and I am not just impressed but inspired to come up with a list of things I want to achieve in the year 2022.

I took my diary and discovered that I haven't completed half of the listed target for 2021, it made me look like I wasn't serious with my life. I couldn't make a new list but I had a mindset set on like a million things ahead, I got so disturbed and it almost ruined my new year's eve plans.

This same thing kept me up after proposing to my fiancee, I slept off thinking and woke up thinking about it. A lot of the goal we have set for the year looks very easy, it does look simple until it is time to achieve them.

A quick one...

Last night I rehearsed my lines several times because I didn't want to ruin the beautiful moments I was about to have with my lover and I was surprised that I stammered when the moment came.

I felt embarrassed seeing her laughing, she was excited but I thought she was making jest of me.

It is easy to write the plans out but executing them should be the main priority, every year will keep being a regular year if nothing is done to make a difference.

My pastor once said if the gift of life is all you keep thanking God for every year, you should check yourself because God has given us opportunities and privileges to be great and spread our capabilities across lands and seas.

It is might first post of the year and I wouldn't want to miss it even though it looked like my senses are just coming at the moment I tried writing this.

I am wishing everyone a beautiful year and one filled with lots of success, love you all. I seriously needed to post at all costs and came up with this, thanks for always coming again to my boring content.
