Hw Una dey...
Third day of the month......
We had 4 alarms set to remind us of church this morning, 3 phones, and 1 clock, we also had 2 wrist watches and we felt good.
Woke up @ 5am took a shower, looked at the clock we had a loooot of time. hmmm I felt good. Church starts @ 8am and finally after turning around a lot we finally got there. I looked at the clock in the car it read 8:55am i ignored it thinking "this driver has not set this clock well". I asked someone else and he said the same thing "omg i've been punked" lol, we qucikly rushed down and got into church, sat at the extreme back because we had 30 minutes to go. I felt really terrible i am never this late for church 'OMG Lagos girl'.
We made plans after church to go and visit my aunt who lost her husband, on getting home my mum fell ill, i mean rush to the hospital sickness. It was like a film trick, we found ourselves in ER .
I prayed and told God, this is just day 3, my mum has many many more years to go, this is definately not our portion. After some minutes, she regained herself slowly, and even faster when the bill started coming one by one. In fact my mum told them she was well now and ready to go 'pure lie' lol... after a few calls from above "Dad", she decided to stay and get admitted for some hours.
Looking at my mum lying on a sick bed made me think about a lot of things. This is one woman who would run around from one place to another, scream, work, fast, pray, teach, everything you can think of all in one day and she does this everyday with only 5 hours of sleep and one meal per day. Although she felt she was strong enough and she kept going, her body finally could not take it any more.
This is just a quick reminder to all of us, like the saying goes "all work and no play, makes jack a dull boy". We need to spend time relaxing and regaining our energy. Never really eat once a day, as much as you think it will help you loose weight or whatever, it kills your system slowly. Many people have little or no time to spend on food. Get to work by 7am or school by 8am, work through the day and even after work, still go to mama John's house to sell that last piece of Gold jewllery. Many people also hide under the umbrella of kids, but here's the good news, you can relax with your kids.
Bottom line is, spend some time on your self, your body might not always show that it is tired but believe me it is. Also try and avoid living on Redbull or energy drugs to boost your system to work better, it gradually kills your system and infact when you grow older it gets worse. So please try as much as possible to take care of yourself and don't be like my mum who takes after super woman with her real life human body.
Stay blessed and most of all stay healthy.........
