A very happy and blessed new year, 2023! January is usually the month when most people make resolutions. Since I have the same resolution for years, instead I break from my usual mindset and reflect; on gratitude, religion, politics, philosophy, values and principles, mysteries of life and other reflections.

I will share some of my reflections beginning with gratitude. My constant resolution is expressing profound gratitude to God, pray to do His will on earth and glorify His name so that he makes me kinder, more generous and better person.
