New year greetings to everyone in this community and beyond. My prayer for everyone here is that this year will be a blessing to us all and that our dreams come true as we do our best to remain focused on our goals and aspirations in this year and beyond. One thing that is so constant in life is change, and it is so funny how men generally don't like change. When we get to a place of rest, we wish that nothing comes in between.
Going through the holidays was something for me; I felt I was going to enjoy some time to sleep and rest from the terms of school runs, but that wasn't so possible because during the Christmas break, though I made up my mind not to embark on a far journey, I got things that kept me so busy.
My husband woke one morning and announced to me that he was going to start up a project. As a human, my heart was moved because, humanly speaking, it seemed impossible, but I just had to support him with all the faith in me. At some point my faith became so little I had to mount on his own faith, and the project was started.
So, all these and more made my holiday season so choking to the point The 1st day of the year was the only time we took some time to rest and then continued the work on the 2nd. As the work went on, I was seriously down with fever, but not to distract the whole process, I just quietly treated myself. The next week was for school resumption because my three kids resumed on the 6th; sincerely, it wasn't an easy thing to switch to another school run season. This morning I woke up with a serious stomach upset, which wasn't funny at all, and the kids have to be in school.
Thankfully, our dad came in to help prepare them for school, and he dropped them off at school too. Imagine on a daily basis since the 6th of the month one has to be awake from 4 am to get things set for the day, but today it was so difficult for me; I woke up by 5:30 am, coupled with the stomach upset. Now I am the one counting down the days until the kids will go on break so I will also rest for some time from the stress. I also wish for the day the kids will start caring for themselves in place of bathing and putting on their clothes so that I will possibly be left with cooking and serving them. Life is a process, and the truth is that it can't be jumped.
To me, it is a sacrifice that I have to pay because if I fail to do the needful today, it will tell on how things will play out tomorrow. My entry to the Hive Naija's weekly contest. Thank you for reading, and I do wish you all the best in this new year.
