10 Things I am Grateful For Today

    1. I am grateful that I did not get married in my 20s like many of my mates.

    Marriage is a beautiful thing but it can be more beautiful if the union is formed on self-evident principles rather than on dogmas.

    I lived most of my 20s with malformed ideas.

    And in my 30s I am now getting a clear view of what anything is.

    I am grateful I did not marry in my 20s.

    What would I have taught my children?

    Maybe my mate figured out these things early.

    2. I am grateful for the times I was impulsive.

    In June 2021, I met a beautiful lady on the internet.

    A few weeks later, I decided I’ll move to her country to be with her. Marry her and start a family.

    I did. In February 2022.

    We are not married yet though.

    And for that too…

    3. I am grateful I can finally travel back to Ghana.

    4. I am still grateful that we did not get married

    For the same reason I am grateful I did not get married in my 20s.

    5. I am grateful I can see clearly now.

    And the clarity gets better day by day.

    Maybe I will copy James’s book “I was blind but now I can see”, change a few words and publish it under my name.

    I know James will but it out of curiosity:

    What did that guy change in my book?

    Did he make it better?

    6. I am grateful for how simple life is.

    I was like a toddler who could not count to 10 without having oranges as bisual aid… and now I am becoming like the math professor who can reason with complex equations.

    7. I am grateful for the cold weather here in Ethiopia

    I have always wanted to live in a cold place.

    8. I am grateful for the life flowing through me right now.

    It wonderful and absolute genius how this force works.

    9. I am grateful for those beautiful birds we call chicken.

    What would be our staple source of protein if they could refuse to be domesticated.

    10. I am grateful I can see.

    Not in the sense of the physical visual sense. But in terms of perceiving and understanding.

    11. I am grateful for how much I have grown in the past 8 months.

    I have always been growing.

    But this is the first time I am conscious of it as it happens.

    12. I am grateful for the parts of me that died so that I could be here today.

    13. I am grateful that my internet package expired this morning...

    ...just before I could post my gratitude list.

    Now I am writing this list in a beautiful park near our apartment and i feel cold and awesome.

    14. I am grateful for all the lessons I learned today.

    15. I am grateful I now say OUR when I speak of myself in relation to my girlfriend.

    In the past, I was a lone stone in an ocean of people. It was always I and My.

    16. I am grateful for all the people who died today.

    Maybe they did so that new babies can make their entry into this world.

    17. I am grateful for all the babies born today

    Potential new ideas to challenge the status quo.
