The Diary Game || [29/08/2026] | My Last Saturday of the Month | From Kingdom Hall Sanitation to Framing My Artwork
Hello Steemians, welcome to my blog. Today was quite gentle on me.
I woke up early because it was the last Saturday of the month. In Akwa Ibom, the last Saturday of every month is always set aside for sanitation. Because of this, I couldn’t do my usual activities. Instead, I went for sanitation at the Kingdom Hall with baby sister, Glory.
We worked together to do a thorough cleaning both inside and outside the meeting hall. We swept the floors, wiped the seats, cleared the surroundings, and made sure everywhere looked presentable. Jehovah loves His people to be neat, and there is always joy in keeping His house clean.
We worked until noon. At some point, none of us felt like going home. The other brethren made the atmosphere feel like a fellowship of siblings from one parent. There was laughter, encouragement, and teamwork. Everyone was willing to help the next person. However, as time went on, hunger began to set in. Slowly, people started departing one by one, some to their own detriment because they left before the closing prayer.
When I got home, the sun was already out in full force. “Yeah! That’s a good start to the day,” I thought to myself. I quickly showered and dashed out of the house because I had an important appointment at the frame store. My artwork was going to be framed and sent to Asaba, so I needed to make sure it was ready on time.
In a bus heading to Uyo
I guess it was around late noon when I boarded a bus heading to Uyo. The roads were quite busy after the sanitation exercise. Many people were out running errands. I jumped on the next available bus, and in a couple of minutes, I was in Uyo.
The framed artwork
I hurried to the frame store and supervised the framing of my artwork. I wanted it to be neat and well-protected because it was going on a long trip. After the framing was done, I immediately boarded a mini-bus going to the AKTC Park. That was where I would send the piece to Asaba as soon as possible.
Finished and ready for delivery
When I got to the park, I carefully handed the framed artwork to the driver. I reminded him to be very careful because the piece was made of glass and could easily break. He assured me he would handle it with care.
After that, I went home and stayed on the phone with both the driver and Mr. Levi, who is my client in Asaba. I wanted to be sure the delivery would go smoothly. At around 6 p.m., the driver called me and informed me that my work had arrived at its destination. I was very excited.
I immediately called my client and asked him to go pick it up. A few minutes later, he called me back and told me he had received it in perfect condition. Everything was okay, and he was happy with how the artwork turned out.
My dinner
That news made my whole day. I took my dinner feeling fulfilled, and then I went to bed to draft my diary entry. It had been a day of service, hard work, and the joy of seeing my art safely delivered. That’s how my day went.
Thanks for going through my blog and post. I really appreciate that
Lo que aprendí de tu día es que la disciplina de la sanitación en Akwa Ibom se transforma en comunidad y energía para lo que sigue; aprovechar esa vibra para cuidar tu obra, como hiciste con el cuadro enmarcado en el AKTC Park, muestra cómo la constancia alimenta resultados. Sin vueltas, sigue canalizando esa dedicación a cada proyecto, porque la vida me enseñó que la consistencia vence al cansancio. 🙌
Thank you so much for this. You’re right — the sanitation exercise in Akwa Ibom is more than just cleaning. It brings us together as a community and gives us energy for everything else we do that day.
Using that same energy to take care of my artwork at AKTC Park reminded me that consistency really does pay off. Your words encouraged me a lot. “Consistency beats fatigue” — I’m keeping that with me. Thank you for seeing it and saying it.
