Greetings yo hivers and friends of #indiaunited 🥰💕.

What a great question for this week’s contest from #indiaunited . One that made me to quickly reflect on my journey so far for this year 2026. And first, my mind went to how fast the months of this year has been, indicating how fast the time keeps moving. Then, what can be greater than the life we have, woken up everyday to good health, believing that with life and health, we will definitely get there someday.

Should I say change is also causing the days of this era to move faster or is the fast paced life of this 21st century that is affecting our timing, because I can’t believe we are in the month of July. The 7th month for this year. The time just keep ticking, not stopping and not even looking back nor anyone face 😀

One Step At A Time:

But who can ever stop time even if our plans and decided goals for the year is not going accordingly? And who ever tells you that yearly resolution comes as anticipated is only being deceitful. At the age that I am now and as a mother to a family over years now, I have always set my mind on taking things the way they come in life especially as time keep changing things.

My believe is that everyday cones with something new. And this new day can bring something positive or something negative despite our efforts to make things right. So its definitely not in our hands to achieve all we have set out as our goals for the year, as people usually will set out their goals at the beginning of every new year thinking things will flow accordingly.

What A Hectic Half Year?

At the beginning of this year my mind was mostly set to achieving some goals concerning my children education which I made so much effort on. And since admission was concluded coming from ending of last year, my mind was so at easy for them just going over. And things started accordingly as they try settling down. But I tell you that after few months earlier in the year, things turned out not as expected. Bills 💵 became so much due to increment in accommodations, materials and other unforeseen circumstances. Budgeting was not as planed again which brought much stress , disorganization and thoughts to look for how to sort things accordingly

These kind of situations are what makes and drifts things out of the way. Goals are set, plans made, but unfortunately, unforeseen circumstances will come in to swift one away from all you have planned. And to be honest, funds are very important in some plans we make, especially for big projects, and when changes takes place in all the already made plans, things becomes different.

So far , am very grateful for where I have gotten to in this year , 2026. We are moving gradually, hoping the next half of the year will be better offline because businesses has been so slow due to inflation in my country. Cost 💲 of living is so high, expenditure greater that income when it comes to the law of economics.

My Hive Home:

My Hive home is a place where I know my plans and goals are going accordingly. At the beginning of this 2026, I promised myself that I will intensify my effort of engagement here on hive despite how low rewards has been from last year. I have never been discouraged on my hive goals, creating my high value contents, interacting with others in every of my community and planing on how to keep working harder in achieving long time set goals on hive. Believing that slow and steady wins, I believe that Hive will change the lives of many when the time comes .
