I’ve never been without a place to live, food to eat, shoes to cover my feet, or clothes to wear; God has given me a blessed life and I am forever grateful! I only received a taste of born and live in a poor country where poverty is a way of living to many, but personally I have never been poor! I might struggled or been struggling financially with all the knowledge that in a blink of an eye that could be me but still I am not a poor person! I am counting my blessings!
In my life I have a lot of emotional struggles that I’ve been dealing with trying to overcome them in a daily basis but that hasn’t stop me from counting my blessings, because I realize that there are people who are poor struggle every day with no food, or place to live! I just saw the video clip from ITV news room where a man named Chacha who lives under the ground around Sam Nujoma road, Dar es alaam for 4 years now because he doesn’t have a place to live. Mr. Chacha is well educated and smart but things happen in life and he found himself with no place to live! I am counting my blessings!
Last week I conducted an interview with a gentleman named Mahmoud Zubeiry (to read click HERE) blogger of binzubeiry.co.tz. He candidly told his life story, the struggles and tribulations that he went through, that there was a time where he had to look for something for his family to eat out of JALALA LA KEKO?! It just left me speechless! Well, let me put it clear, that I knew and seen their struggles, I knew they were very-very poor as we grew-up in the nearby neighborhood and attended same primary school, but never in a million times would I have thought that jalala la Keko was one of their “grocery stores or supermarket!!” My dears, I am counting my blessings! 
Their two simulations keep opening my eyes to some of the hardships that I face here and there! I can’t complain at all as there are others who face them in a daily basis perhaps even worse than me! There is a time where I questioned myself what if I suddenly lose all my income, I have to admit it did worried me as I would not know what to do! Now hearing people’s stories like the one Binzubeiry shared with us it inspires me that if happens today, found myself in that situation, O’Yeah! I will survive as I have heard and seen people surviving. And that is the main reason I started this blog, to share our life story(ies) so we can inspire others and encourage them not to give up. Learn from one another, share and spread love! My dear readers, I am still counting my blessings, have you count yours? Share with us and you’ll be blessed!
