💃🏻 Share 3 events that made you joyful this year.

I have had so many joyful moments in my life this year but with the sphere of the contest I talk of 3. They are;

• My choir feast day celebration

I am a chorister of the Pauline singers group in my church and every year we celebrate the feast of st. Paul an apostle of the gentiles. This year 2023 was special as on the day we chosed to celebrate I was dedicated to the choir and I made promise to adhere to the values of the choir and use my voice in praising God almighty always. I have been waiting for this day for a year and finally it came. It was done during the liturgical celebration along another strong alto singer like myself and our youngest chorister Angel.

Part two of the day was a celebration accompanied with food and drinks gifts exchange. There were other exciting activities like fashion parade, ballet dances and other competitions the spice up the day. It was a great one for me and I felt different in this event. It has been long I haven't associated in social gatherings due to the unfortunate situation that happened to me last year but this time I decided to move out of that darkness and enjoy myself. We invited other choristers from different groups in the church and it was super amazing.

• My class first physical meeting

It has been 13 years for some and 15 years for others since we let secondary school. All this time we have been chatting online to keep the connection. We decided to have a physical get together to meet each other and have fun. It was an amazing moment seeing each other after all this time. It was nice seeing everyone and how they have grown and advanced in life. We had a lot of fun, chit chat, food, drinks and also went for clubbing. It was so fabulous and the best moment was having tro backs of our funny school days and activities. This brought so many good, bad and ugly moments we had back then. In all we enjoyed ourselves had fun, shared some project ideas which we could do to improve on ourselves and grow. I couldn't have missed this event for anything in the world. Those who didn't attend greatly regretted it.

• Arrival of my second niece

The arrival of baby Chloe brought a lot of joy to the family and myself especially. It has been a very difficult pregnancy period for my junior sister and at one point that we thought she would due due to health challenges. It became scary when the pregnancy was overdue for 3 weeks but thank God a lady specialised in helping ladies traditionally with pregnancy problems came to our rescue. With her intervention my cousin was delivered of a bouncing baby girl without any cesarian session as was predicted. At the news we all joyfully went to see the baby dinginysongs of joy and happiness to welcome her.

💃🏻 What are your joyful plans for the last month of the year?

The last month December is almost a period of so many joyful moments for various families. I am not left out as I also plan and partake in these special moments. This year it's going to be a very special one for me as I will be taking a step in changing my status. I have been through tough times finding a man for myself till now. I have had so many deceits and disappointments from men. This year even when I have been reluctant God has blessed me with someone who's willing to be with me in a lifetime commitment. This December will be the first step for my traditional wedding and I am so excited and curious of how it will be. This is the most important event for me this December

Secondly, I will spending Christmas with two families which are my biological family and my in-laws. It's going to be a great one having the two families come together. I plan to make a lot of delicious meals, deserts and natural fruit juices for their satisfaction.

CONCLUSION

Joy is as important to us as the value of our lives and it is very important to be joyful. So many people don't give a damn about it and just go about life as passersby. In this situation life becomes meaningfulness and valueless. There will be a lot of sadness and people will be depressed and frustrated always. Let's stay joyful always to have a better life

Thank you #steemladies for ending the session with a joyful thinking back. Thanks to you have taken your time to go through my post. I invite @tahispadron, @jjoti-thelight and @b-naj to join the contest.

REMAIN JOYFUL ALWAYS
