I don't know about other West African countries but in Ghana it is on the onset of harmattan that we realize that Christmas and New year are just around the coner, a bit like when children get excited when they see the first drop of snow in the west. Today, went to church as usual but noticed that my throat was suddenly dry, my lips were chapped and my fingers were cold and those are the unmistaken symptomps of harmattan.
So, since 2011 is left with a few days I might as well just take stock of it now and leave the resolutions for next year to be written on the 31st.
This year frankly has not been all rosy, with the war in Ivory Coast, my mum's new school in Ghana, the death of my friend's father and I recently learnt my childhood friend who used to go to church with me is pregnant. Hmm, really made me recognize the blessing that I had supportive friends and family to protect me and keep me on the right path. I thank God for that.
Counting my 2011 blessings:
1. Started this blog this year and another http://accra2madrid.wordpress.com/ also tarted re-writing in my diary.
