Gratitude.

Last week or thereabouts, I was in a dark place.

I couldn’t seem to get any work done,couldn’t relax properly. Nothing was working and it was tiring.

“I’m just tired of all this” kept running through my mind as I picked beans. My family were gathered round, discussing and laughing but I couldn’t see what the big deal was.

Then on the television, a news bulletin came on and it all suddenly seemed pointless and small.

Not the news bulletin o.

The fact that I was sad.

Remember Leah?. One of the girls abducted from her school in Dapchi, Nigeria?

She’s still hasn’t been released and it’s over two years.

The news bulletin said she was still being held by the terrorist group, Boko Haram and is believed to have given birth to a son.

Just imagine.

Being abused.

Then having to bring forth life in horrifying conditions without her loved ones.

This is a gratitude post and I’m grateful for life.

For freedom.
