#126: New Opportunities

This week, I’m buzzing with excitement over new opportunities. Stay tuned—I’ll spill the details in next week’s post!

#127: Celtics

If you know anything about me, you know that I bleed green. As a die-hard Boston Celtics fan, this week was nothing short of exhilarating! I watched anxiously at a local restaurant as the Celtics clinched the 2024 NBA championship. My pride for this team is beyond words. Despite facing relentless critics over the past few seasons, they triumphed and secured their 18th championship. The last time the Celtics won was in 2008. Back then, I was in 8th grade, living in Kenya. Let’s go Celtics!!

#128: Butterflies

Today, I had a moment of pure magic. Looking out my window, I spotted delicate white butterflies dancing around my backyard. These past few weeks have been a whirlwind—working 60+ hours, 6-7 days a week, barely finding a moment to breathe. This morning, I felt a wave of gratitude wash over me as I paused to admire these beautiful, fleeting creatures.

#129: Health

A couple of weeks ago, a routine hospital check-up reminded me of the fragility of good health. I witnessed a patient across the hall screaming in pain, a stark reminder that health is a precious gift. This week, I’m especially grateful for my health and the ability to enjoy life without physical pain.

#130: Sundae on a Monday

Who says you can’t enjoy a sundae on a Monday? After work, my partner and I strolled to a local ice cream shop, just a 20-minute walk from our apartment. This place is a gem, set on a spacious piece of land with breathtaking scenery. They have livestock roaming around, and I like to think the milk for their ice cream comes straight from these happy animals. I ordered a delicious sundae and savored every bite. As I indulged, I soaked in the serene landscape and marveled at the swallows gracefully gliding through the air, feasting on flying insects.

What are your grateful moments this week?
