A great year starts in a great way to show how great it will be. Happy new year to all my friends here. This year is a great year indeed. The signs are all over. And I am grateful to God for allowing me to witness this year.
My first year of having abundance. The first time in a very long while that I never needed anything. The first time in my entire life that I experienced what I call true love without condition. That was my best new year ever. The first time in my life that I had someone that I can trust. The first time I felt free and new. My first new year with my husband.was the best.
The hive learners community is always coming up with awesome topics and this week contest is not left out. Well, for me every new year is a special one for me because being alive to celebrate it is the reason why I consider it awesome. I only celebrate it because I am alive and healthy. But for this contest I am compelled because of the topic to talk about only one new year celebration that I consider special maybe because of one thing or the other that makes me consider it special. Let's see how it goes.
Right from my childhood days, new year celebration is one of the celebration that gives me joy because aside the celebration of Christmas, the next close to it is new year, and there is a lot of things to make it special. But when I grew up and decides to live alone I now no that adulthood is actually a scam. Those days I will have to provide for myself because I live alone and also because I am the one fending for myself. Unlike when I was still small, when everything is being provided for me, but as I lived alone, I have to provide for myself.
It continued till when I got married in the month of August. After my marriage ceremony things began to change. I became relieved of so many responsibilities. For that year's Christmas, I had a lot in my house. This is going to be the first time that4 I will celebrate Christmas without going through a lot Financial stress. My husband made all the provision of what we needed for the celebration. I began to have someone that cares and asked after me. I began to feel loved again. For the new year celebration that year, it was something else. The previous once, all my siblings looks up to me for financial assistance. And I myself must buy lots of things like: clothing, food stuff, shoes, bags and all the good things I know that my siblings will be needing for the Christmas and new year celebration. I don't forget my mum too because I know that she don't have anyone to care for her.
So, growing up with so many responsibilities hanging on my neck, having to think of what to take home every end of the year have actually stressed me emotional for years. But after I got married, every thing changed. My husband took over those responsibilities. I became relieved from then onward, and so I see my first year with my husband as the best new year celebration ever.
