So today deliberately wanted to turn into a bad day but I didn't let it.
I had barely slept for two hours after an all night when my dad woke me up, I was just looking at him like, "You no dey sleep?" He wakes you up in such a way that you hear his voice even from your deepest of dreams and you jerk up with your heart beating times two of its normal rate. Remember I told you he's a disciplinarian. After attending to what needed attention, I tried to get back to my much needed sleep and cramps set in. Really??? Nothing was getting in the way of this my beloved sleep so I hurriedly took some pain killers and snuggled into my pillows, thirty minutes later, I was staring at my ceiling trying to convince myself not being pregnant now was a good thing, Mother Nature had apparently won.
So I attempted to read, but the words seemed to jump out of the pages, dancing in circles around my head, just like in Tom and Jerry.
Finally, cramps gave way to sleep, two hours later I woke up to meet
them waiting like they were staring at me with taunting eyes and singing, "is dah how you used to do? Someone cannot play with you..."
I dragged myself up and looked for something to nibble on, as I went online looking for something that would interest me. Just as I was about to give in and call it a bad day, I stumbled upon a post on Instagram. You see why I told you who you follow on social media platforms matter? The post said, "Do something everyday that will get you closer to your goal." This got me totally, I had been hearing these words over time but I guess I needed to hear them again today. Well well well, what could I do, I began to think. I love singing, music makes me tick. I imagine myself on a big stage singing to thousands of people, not just singing but ministering, I mean, I'm allowed to dream right?
So I started going through my phone looking for songs I hadn't really listened to and started singing along, before I knew it I was
dancing. This was a very funny sight cause I totally suck at dancing, I couldn't strike a move to save my life, God help me on my wedding day. But it didn't matter as long as I was having a good time. I had a torch in my hand as my microphone and my bed was my audience consisting of thousands and thousands of people, hehe...the power of imagination. By the time I was done, I felt totally light headed, and I felt very good.
In all, I learnt that it was my responsibility to make the most and the best of my days and time despite whatever it was that tried to weigh me down or stood in my way. I learnt to pour glitter on my seemingly gloomy day and make it sparkle.
When life gives you eggs, make omelette. No pun intended.
