He is a warrior; he fought and survived, but not everyone was this fortunate in our kin. I lost so many relatives in my extended family who were very close to my heart. Furthermore, I was totally devastated when we also lost three residents of our old-age home, Mann Ka Tilak, who were not even covid positive! Veena aunty, Hasibuddin uncle and Rukmani aunty will always be in my heart, forever! I hope that next year will bring about happiness, optimism and new hopes in our lives.

I believe, the world is still processing 2019, which was 3 years ago! The past 2 years were full of perpetual lows for me, I lost my near and dear ones, like most of us in the pandemic. With the end of 2021 bringing in some hope and warmth, I am looking forward to 2022. Since we are still here and breathing, let\u2019s take it as a sign of god\u2019s good plan for all of us. Let\u2019s take everything one day at a time, and look forward to life. The one giveaway that 2021 has offered me is to not give up on hope, love and compassion. For the year 2022, I\u00a0 would like to resolve to be kinder and gentle towards others, and most importantly towards our own self.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ayesha Najeeb, Programme Officer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3957\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/wishesandblessings.net\/blog\/looking-back-at-2021-and-new-years-resolutions\/img-20211231-wa0006-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wishesandblessings.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG-20211231-WA0006-1.jpg?fit=720%2C1280&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"720,1280\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG-20211231-WA0006-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wishesandblessings.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG-20211231-WA0006-1.jpg?fit=169%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wishesandblessings.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG-20211231-WA0006-1.jpg?fit=576%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wishesandblessings.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG-20211231-WA0006-1.jpg?resize=127%2C225&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3957 lazyload\" width=\"127\" height=\"225\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wishesandblessings.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG-20211231-WA0006-1.jpg?resize=169%2C300&amp;ssl=1 169w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wishesandblessings.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG-20211231-WA0006-1.jpg?resize=576%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 576w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wishesandblessings.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG-20211231-WA0006-1.jpg?w=720&amp;ssl=1 720w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 127px) 100vw, 127px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 127px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 127\/225;\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The year started as a time of coming to terms with loss and the accompanying grief which led to introspection, and further to growth!
