Learning lessons and looking forward
It's been two weeks since my last post and to be honest I wanted to let each and every single one of you join in on the festivities this holiday season but I couldn't. There were a lot of things for me to do apart from taking care of my little angel and I just couldn't find the time to get myself to a place with net connectivity to be able to post. To make matters a tad bit messy, I also got sick and wasn't able to go to work.
Looking back at 2017, there were a lot of things that I experienced. I remember making my first account in August around the time Ameerah was born and the many different communities on Steemit have been a wonderful second family to me. I know many have had both good and bad experiences but I guess its time to look back at all of them and learn the valuable lessons that they teach us. I am not going to talk about the bad experiences that I have on my first post for 2018 but I will share my good moments with you of course.
Most of you, who have been following me and got to know me learned about the birth of my daughter and all the experiences as a father that I had while watching her grow up the past 5 months. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten to post pictures of her 5th month birthday, I just haven't been able to upload them online yet to make it easier to post. They are all on my wife's phone and I will be getting them soon. There are many pictures of my little one that I would like to share with you all for her first Christmas and New year.
2017 is over and 2018 is a new start for me to start and working hard on making life better for both myself and my family and all my friends whether I know them personally or not doesn't matter to me. But I do hope that hopefully this year I won't repeat the same mistakes I have been making for a long time of giving my trust to others easily. It has burned me time and time again but I always end up letting those kinds of people in...I guess I am a sucker for helping people out or trying to invest in opportunities that never come true.
I have made the resolve to try and apply the knowledge that I have learned from learning to code and start a small project here on Steemit and hopefully I will be able to get that one to a good start one of these days as soon as I get the whole plan written down. The holiday season has taken a big toll on my finances considering I had to borrow a lot of money again to prepare for it but I am going to also do my best to not borrow any more. I am going to take care to budget what measly earnings I have right now and try to get out of debt as much as possible before this year ends.
On another note, I had set myself a milestone of reaching 500 sp by the end of 2017 but sadly that was not possible mainly because I wasn't able to devote a lot of time to writing quality posts and also took some days off. I missed you all since my long two-week departure from Steemit and I hope to see all of you again and the awesome content that we all bring to Steemit.
If you guys can advise me on some nice ways to better myself for the year of 2018 and better ways to manage my budgets, it would be appreciated. I know things will be difficult for me because there are a lot of aspects of my life I need to change to reach my goals but I am going to work hard and I am going to strive to stick to most of my resolutions that I have made.
Please keep supporting me and I would like to wish each and every single one of you a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

i love the way you let your write-ups paint the picture you hold in your heart. THis year will be your best year so far.
Thank you mate, I try my best to try and convey how I feel when I write. Steemit is not only a place where I want to have a sort of a journal of mine but also a platform for me to try and better my writing ability as well as come to people for advice on many a different topics. I hope it will be and I will do what I can with all your support to make it the best. :)
Man, I remember your posts up to the birth of your daughter. But, I got inactive after and did not get chance to congratulate you.
So I am going to take this opportunity to congratulate you from the heart on the birth of your little angel. You are blessed, my friend. :)
Only you know what you can do to get better my friend. Most of the times you just need to listen to the voice inside you. I bet even when you were writing this post you were getting ideas on what to improve on. :)
So just listen and get to work my friend. Plus if you taking care of your family you are already doing an amazing job. All the rest is a bonus. Have an amazing 2018 my friend. :)
Thank you mate for the congratulations, it doesn't matter if you didn't get the chance, it's the thought that counts and I will take your advice. It is true when I was writing this post, a lot of things were running through my head and I wanted to put all those ideas down but I felt it would be too overwhelming for the readers and decided to hold off on it. I only listed a few that I think I should focus more on and I will do my best to make a lot of changes to my lifestyle as well as improving the lifestyle of my family.
I will get to work on it right away and let you know mate :) Thanks once more and I wish you an amazing 2018 as well @awakentolife. :) I am also happy that I was able to find steemit and it has blessed me with many a friends like you to keep supporting me and advising me to stay and keep moving forward.

Life's like that, throwing obstacles in our way. Don't stress about not hitting 500SP. 2018 will be your year and congrats on the birth of your daughter. We are waiting on our adoption to come through in about 2 years. Best of luck and See you round!
I am not going to stress about not having hit it, it will happen in it's own due time and hopefully a lot of other things. Thanks for your support and I hope that it is also your year @insideoutlet, I hope that your adoption comes through earlier and gives you a big surprise that will also make this year one to remember. See you around and thanks for dropping by :)
Hey kryios! :) happy 2018! yes, it will be a good year for us all! do post some pics of baby later. I guess we all learned some good and not so good lessons, but here's to looking forward and striving this new year!
Hey bro. Happy 2018 to you too man. :) It will be and I hope everyone has a lot of good memories this year and it's a good year for them too. I did post some baby pics just yesterday. There will be some more I will be posting later on in the week as soon as I have uploaded them.
Good luck with the coming New Year @kyrios
Let us pray that the seeds of our previous efforts may grow into a healthy crop this year, and may we pray that the many oncoming harvests shall nourish and feed our souls for seasons to come!
Peace n love xx
Thank you @imp.unity, for taking the time to read through my post. I hope and pray that all of our efforts get paid off this year and what we have been striving for bears fruit. Peace and love :)
