Gratitude List for 2018 #GratitudeCircle

December is ending in a few days and thus 2018. We are waiting to welcome the new year 2019. 2018 is a very satisfying year for my personal and professional life. I am grateful to GOD and my family for helping me achieve my goals and end this year with happiness.



I couldn't write gratitude lists for last 2 months and of course, there is a valid reason which kept me away from the blog. But, these 3 months including December made this year fantastic.

Here are a few things that I am grateful for this year:

1. Work permit

2 years is a big break from what I love to do. I am passionate about software testing and I loved the work that I did in my career for 11 years. I am grateful to get a work permit in this country and I am excited to restart my career.

2. Dance classes

Due to many reasons, I didn't get time to promote my dance classes this year. Due to India trip and my job search, I couldn't focus on my dance classes. Still, I am grateful for the recognition I received this year for my dance classes/ performances. I think I will focus more on this the next year. I usually, don't post my personal dance photos on my blog, but let this be an exception as this is the end of the year :-)




3. India trip

I am grateful to GOD that I could visit my parents after 2 years and I am happy to make them feel happy too. Fortunately, we went to Shirdi with my extended family and we could spend more time. Kids enjoyed the trip a lot and time just flew by.

4. Learning curve

I could spend more time learning new technologies and refreshing my existing skills in 2018. I am grateful to the online resources and fantastic websites which helped me with this. I understood completely on how online resources can help in improving our knowledge. I think, if we have internet, we can learn anything these days.



5. Blogging

There are ups and downs in my blogging work this year. I got the opportunity to read multiple blogs through Blog chatter's My Frind Alexa campaign.  My Global Alexa rank went from 36 lakhs to 8 lakhs. I really enjoyed writing fiction for a challenge conducted by Write Tribe. These 2 challenges helped me to write consistently on my blog for some time.

Overall 2018 is a fantastic year to me, but it's time to say a Goodbye now.  I will re-connect with you all with another post on my word of the year for 2019. 

Until next time,
