As the clock hit midnight, an epiphany came to me: I’m now 29 years old. The last year of my 20’s. I never expected life to be this way at 29th. And truth is…life is WONDERFUL. Even more wonderful than what I have ever imagined in my wildest dreams.
And well, truth be told, 2018 was a REALLY difficult year. I almost died in Nepal and I had to stay home in Acapulco inactive for months in order to fully recover. 2018 was also a very beautiful year in the sense that I truly learned to appreciate even more my loved ones as they supported me with their words of positive encouragement.
For that I will always be grateful to them now and forever. And speaking about gratitude, as I grow older, I get even more grateful for all the wonderful things that have arrived into my life and specially for those wonderful things that I’ve manifested for myself thanks to the power of positive thinking.
Here’s a recap of the 29 wonderful moments I’m grateful for in these 29 years of my life so far.
What are some of your top moments to be grateful for?

1. I’m grateful for being alive since that’s the greatest gifts of them all. Don’t take life for granted and appreciate the joy of just being able to enjoy life.
2. I’m grateful for the fact I have seen most of the world. Can you believe that some folks have never left home?
3. I’m grateful for my wittiness even if it is tiring. Now, if you excuse me, I better stop rhyming.
4. I’m grateful for my family and the values they taught me. A man’s not an island and nobody truly succeeds on their own..
5. I’m grateful for the time my aunt paid for my first flight. At the age of 13, I never understood why people were afraid to fly.
