I turned 29 today, and as part of my (irregular) annual tradition, I wanted to create a list corresponding to the age I’ve reached.
If you’re interested in reading my previous blog posts with similar lists, please check out the links here and here.
This year, however, I decided to shift the focus from lessons and rules to something lighter. I thought it would be refreshing to list the things I’m grateful for in my life. After all, it’s important to take a moment to appreciate the good things and how they shape us.
So, without further ado, here are 29 things I am grateful for after 29 years on this earth.
- Family - Their love and support.
