The Little Things (2018)

Back in my old blog, there was a practice I did.
Every year, around Thanksgiving, I would dedicate a post on my blog to reflect on what has happened so far that year, and to being grateful for everything.

Now, I know I've said that I'm starting afresh here, but I thought long and hard if I should do that (or something similar) here.
I figured that it is a great way to practice being thankful, which is, of course, a good and healthy habit to have.

So I'm doing it here as well.

I'm sure you've noticed that it isn't anywhere near Thanksgiving, and you're right. Initially, I thought I would be able to do it on my old blog, as it came back online after about a month and a half.
For a while.
A few hours, to be exact, before going back offline on the server.

Oh well.

So this will be my replacement for 2018 (I will do another one for this year).

Without further adieu, I am thankful for:

My status change. Last year, I officially became a wife. Yes, I got married. I hope I will be a decent wife, if not good. But I got married to the love of my life, which I am forever grateful for. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
My mum's operation. We finally had an answer to her condition, and action has been taken. She had been steadily recovering, and slowly getting stronger. I couldn't be more thankful. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Got to meet my best friend after quite a while (Dec 26 2018). I think the last time I'd met her was after coming back from Scotland, which was... November 2017, I think? Damn. I didn't realise it was that long! I'm glad that we have that understanding where we may not meet as often as we'd like, but nothing changes. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
My dad and sister. Although my sister drives me up the walls (don't all siblings though? ), yes, I do love her. My dad too. I appreciate all he does so much, especially when it came to taking care of my mum. He really deserves a treat for all that he's done. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
My grandfather. Yes, he passed away a little over a year ago, but he's been giving me signs throughout that he's been watching over me. ♡( ◡‿◡ ) Thank you, thank you, thank you!
So it goes without saying that I'm also thankful for Mr Gino. (No, I have not forgotten you; of course not!) I don't think there's anything else I can say that I haven't already said to you so countless times; as always, I always wished I had said it to you when you're still alive. For all the things you've done for me and taught me, thank you, thank you, thank you!
