Has it ever occurred to you why you sometimes feel restless after a day's activities? Stay with me!
On this day, I woke up and we said our morning prayers,had breakfast and immediately I dived into washing my junior sister's hair 'cos when I'm around on holidays my sisters prefer me to help them in their hair wash days. It's been over a month since my sister did her graduation and had been on the hair until the day before yesterday when she finally decided to lose it and I did the washing yesterday.
However, I was not supposed to be at home at this time washing her hair but because it was important I did the washing yesterday. I was meant to be at my computer training centre and this washing really affected my day badly because before I was true with it,a chunk of the time was taken and by my calculation before I would be true with taking my shower and doing everything necessary I needed to do I'd really be out of time,so I was really very unsatisfied that morning and wished I had stepped out earlier but as usual big sister duty calls.😊 Till noon I had not recovered from the restlessness going on in me but we move regardless. I had to tell myself you have to go do something with your life than staying this way "what has happened,has happened".This is one of the major reasons why many people feel restless after a full blown 24 hours- UNFULFILLED PURPOSE.Yes,you read right. We often forget to do the most important thing and after ignoring what should be priority we end up with unrest and procrastination sets in and many other times it may be too late to take the action again.
##FOOD PREPARATION PROPER.
My gees,this frustration did not stop here oo,I didn't even understand what was going on on this day because tell me why on earth my mom would return from the market and we were to prepare soup on this day and gas decided to do what's on its mind.At this point gan,I tire because as the eldest daughter even if it's 9pm, I'd still enter and cook that meal. We had to put calls through to the gas attendant and he came in no time and picked up the gas and we had to wait again night was falling gradually and this man was yet to return. I proceeded to prepare the ingredients we would be using. Thankfully, it was okro soup. So it was pretty not a difficult one. By the time I am done with all of these ,the gas attendant came and we had to hasten up the process. Before we started cooking the soup,we did popcorn which wou6serve as an appetizer but that one came with it's one wahala again,it burnt to what can't be eaten.😭 This was not because we didn't know how to prepare this snack but because while waiting for the gas attendant,we had little kerosene and we put it in long-used stove and the thread absorbed it, thinking it would do justice to this popcorn we set the pot on it and it was funnily frying the corn so while the gas attendant arrived it was the first we had to do before the commencement of the soup. That was how our frying popcorn seed produced burnt popcorn. We had freshly peeled groundnut my mom bought from the market waiting to be paired with this popcorn but this sight stayed as an imagination.
We sha ate groundnut like that.
However,It was time to go into the main business that brought us to the kitchen and we started,unwilling and very reluctant. We started nonetheless and in no time we were done. The rush on this food kept us in awe. I had to do some tidying before I ate mine because of course I didn't want to return to work after eating. I showered and served my plate of goodness.
##STORMY-RAIN EXPERIENCE.
While every rain brought goodness to a particular community,over here in the Northern part,it brought destruction.Just when I thought the day had ended, suddenly a strong wind began to blow and every time this wind blew in the past it either brought down a house or destroyed roofs of people's houses and till now it hasn't changed. On several occasions it did the uprooting of our zinc and had us fix it over and over again till we got to the root of it.As the wind kept blowing,the rain that fell was only able to produce two drums of water for us even though it should have produced a better quantity commensurate to the breeze it came with but we thanked anyway because buying water from this water supplier cannot even fill a drum properly.
Everybody was already tired and we said our evening prayers,put off the light and retired happily to bed.
## MORALS
1.Learn to do the right things at the right time;it profits more. When next you feel unsatisfied with how your day went ,ask yourself "Have I fulfilled purpose today?"
2. Life never promises to be trouble free,so on days like this, I'm learning and I believe you're learning too,to be joyful and cheerful because that's medicine for my soul.Like the saying goes"when life gives you lemon,make lemonades out of it".
