It
has been my yearly tradition to list down the highlights and lowlights of my life – like an annual
look back. I am writing this kind of
stuff not just to document and remember things, but also to remind myself to be
grateful at all times, despite the situation.
2016
is a combination of heart breaks and new beginnings. A year full of tears,
brokenness and rough patches. But this is also the year where I learned to
start anew. Life is hard, but I am holding on tight to what I know to be true.
Now,
let’s take a look on my 2016 :
January - The thrill on
the final touches on my sister’s wedding and of course the magical day for the
whole family – thanks to all who joined and helped us on this special event in
my sister’s life.
