In the year 2015, I was challenged by a dear friend to a 52 weeks gratitude challenge.
I was guided each week to be grateful for ONE thing, and I tried to blog about them here.
The focus for the 51st week (December 18 – December 24) of the 52 Weeks of Gratitude Challenge was: 100 Things to be Thankful For Looking back at the year 2016, there are so many things to be thankful for, well over a hundred. If I should recollect all the bottles of red wine we drank, in celebration for one thing or the other, it should come close to a few dozens. Some of those bottles counted multiple…
The focus for the 50th week (December 11 – December 17) of the 52 Weeks of Gratitude Challenge was: Lessons Learned This Year I think the year 2016 was a learning year for me. The lessons learned from different experiences were humbling and sobering. I painstakingly had to learn some lessons, while some were a bitter pill to swallow. But as the year comes to an end and I look back at all that I learned,…
The focus for the 42nd week (October 16 – October 22) of the 52 Weeks of Gratitude Challenge was: You Favorite Possession I will just go straight to the point… my most favorite possession, is my blender! Yesss! And funny enough, the blender was an indirect gift. The original owner of the blender left it for a friend (probably because it wasn’t working). And so one day I was visiting this friend on the day he was moving out. I…
The focus for the 34th week (August 21 – August 27) of the 52 Weeks of Gratitude Challenge was: Things You Like About Fall The other time I talked about my favorite things about Spring. Today, I’m talking about Fall. Like that other article, experiencing the 4 seasons only happened during my 9 years in Cyprus. So all experiences and stories, are tied to Cyprus.
The focus for the 32nd week (August 7 – August 13) of the 52 Weeks of Gratitude Challenge was: A City You’ve Visited Of all the cities I have been to on earth, I have to write about just one. That in itself, is a difficult task because many places come to mind. Benin City, where I was born and brought up, comes to mind. There is also Warri, where I spent 6 years in secondary…
The focus for the 31st week (July 21 – August 6) of the 52 Weeks of Gratitude Challenge was: Your Core Value Weeks back, I talked about honesty being my favorite personality trait. While I would like to talk about honesty being my core value, I have already done that. You can read that post here: Honesty Remains my Best Policy. So today, I will be talking about integrity, or transparency, as I like to call it.
The focus for the 26th week (June 26 – July 2) of the 52 Weeks of Gratitude Challenge was: Someone You Got To Meet While Peter Economides might not be a celebrity, like most famous celebrities, he was one man I’m glad I met. He is well known as the man who re-branded Greece. I did not even know who he was, until he climbed on stage on Day 1 of Brand Marker 2013.
The focus for the 23rd week (June 5 – June 11) of the 52 Weeks of Gratitude Challenge was: Your Favorite Physical Trait One of my most favorite physical train would have to be the smile. There certainly are a few other physical traits that would top a smile. But if I have to blog about one right now, it would be about a smile.
