50 Happy Things 2018

In the midst of identifying and listing down my 2018 resolution and of course going through my accomplished and unaccomplished resolution of the previous years, I found an amazing post by Dawn Quyle Landau  on 50 Happy Things 2018: Bloggers Unite to Flood the Internet With Gratitude which can make the beginning of the new year more fabulous than it is. This time around I am taking a little longer to list my resolutions and making sure it is more realistic.  I wanted to take a break from the resolution list and start right away with the gratitude list as soon as I read the post but didn’t find the time.  I suggest all of you try this out too. Look up the rules on Dawn’s blog post. It is great thing she has started. Guys, I would loved to read your gratitude list, please do share with me.

Like Melody Beattie quoted “Gratitude makes sense of our past, bring peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow”. Here is my list (My Gratitude list of 2017):

1. My family (Alhamdulillah and many many thanks to Allah for blessing me with an amazing family: my father, mother, sister, brother, uncles, aunties, cousins, grandmother, grandfather, nieces, nephews and everyone in my family, love them to bits).
2. My mom (Seriously what would I do without her, my every success and behind every step I take she is there and right there, my motivator and iron lady in my life). 
3. My dad (All praises to Allah for a blessing called atta. He was the best father yesterday, he is the best father today and He will be the best always. His love and support means a lot to me).
4. My sister (The fashionista and my lovely sister, started every different part of my life with her by my side, the best motivator and someone who says go for it every time I am afraid to try something new, I just love her).
