NaNoWriMo 2021 Challenge # 2 - EQ

November 2, 2021

My writing entry for today: EQ

I did not give in today. 

And I’m proud of myself. 

I’ve practiced delaying gratitude and thought  of other more important things than spending mindlessly.  I just always tell myself that I can buy it some other time. 

And I’m sure I will when the universe permits. 

This year has really been a tough year for us. We suffered financially. I broke down, got depressed, got mad at myself, blamed others, blamed myself, had regrets, thought negatively but thanks God, I got up, and remained strong. I stood still and made better choices everyday. 

And thanks God again, unexpected blessings always come. 

I’ve been so focused on the hardships, challenges and pain that I was going through that most of the time I forgot to be grateful for all the things I already have. I didn’t appreciate all the blessings I prayed before that I now have. 

As days passed by, I learned my lessons. No matter how hard life will be, we will always be beyond blessed by just simply living and that’s what we should be focused on. So now, a little tight on the budget won’t hurt. Believing that soon enough, we can already have what we prayed for. In God’s perfect time, it will come.
