The year 2015 is practically a wrap.
We made it through despite so much upheaval around the World, so many individual challenges that looked insurmountable, and if there is nothing else to say, the fact that we waded through it all, is a massive blessing and a huge reason to be thankful.
My gratitude challenge today is two pronged.
Foremost, I am truly thankful to God for so many things that I can’t begin to count but above all, the gift of life, the gift of family and the gift of friends.
I deeply appreciate the connections that I have made on this platform.
A lot of you have been winds in my wings and oxygen in my lungs.
Your words have decorated my heart in indescribable ways and I am grateful that I met you in this space.
I have received a whole bunch of award nominations from my good friends and I truly must appreciate them for the generosity of their hearts.
Please, let me apologize upfront if I missed out mentioning a nomination.
It is not a slight but an oversight, because it has grown in number (over 20 of them) and I truly didn’t want to inundate people with putting out an award post ever so often.
For the Epic Awesomeness Award, I thank Yinglan of This is Another Story, for this kind nomination.
For the Versatile Blogger Award nominations, my appreciations go to: iamabloggertoo, Gharkepakwan, Emma of Shut that negative noise off, Amra of Perfect My Days, Izzyasabee, Star Scrolls, Koolaidmoms

Dear Joanne of Vellissima found my blog neat enough to nominate me for Real Neat Blog Award. Thank you my friend.
In my place, it is said that ‘the man who has human support is better than the one that has money.’ Money can buy you a lot but cannot warm your heart with it’s words.
So, to all of you, dear friends of mine, who have supported me by breathing life into my blogging journey, ‘may the Sun shine on your path and may the shadows fall behind.’
Thank you very much and do stay blessed.
