SMILING/HAPPINESS CHALLENGE: DAY 6 (WEDNESDAY)


Good afternoon friends, how is your day going? How was yesterday’s task? Were you grateful after counting your blessings? I hope so because I was exceptionally grateful after counting mine. I just discovered that most of us are so busy complaining that we really do not know the privilege and grace we have that others don’t have.
Well today is April 6th and a friend of mine is celebrating his birthday today. So let me quickly wish him a super happy birthday.

Happy birthday to you ‘ADENUGA MIKENUGA’. On this special occasion of yours, I wish you a wonderful year ahead and success in all your endeavours..Have fun dear..Hip Hip Hip Hurrayyyy...Please don’t forget to send my own portion of the cake oo...#winks# 











So many of us have completely fallen into particular daily routines that we tend to forget what really matters. Had a thought recently about how lucky some of my friends were for the kind of peaceful, united and loving home they grew up from (Never really had the luxury of such a home). We ignore people who care about us (although unconsciously) and take favors for granted. We really cannot comprehend the kind of things our parents go through to give us a good life and make sure we don’t lack the essentials.
 We are rude to them sometimes and we sometimes make them feel like they are less of who they are. Some of us go as far as taking our friends over them (Yes, it’s that bad).  Can we take a moment and reflect on this? Be grateful to God for giving us the blessing of having parents who care about us (both Dead and Alive!). Some of us have lost one or both parents but we can never forget the indelible mark they left in our lives. Can we endeavour to be more subtle and kind in our dealings with them? Do the little things. Buy things for them randomly. e.t.c. No matter how wealthy our parents are, whatever we buy for them would be among their most cherished possessions. How often do we pray for them? How many times have we dedicated just a time in our heads to seek God’s blessings for them?  These questions require answers!


Now to the task for today,
               Call your parents/Guardians
               Tell them :”Thank you for everything”
                Pray for them
               Tell them you love them
               Give us a feedback!

POEM: I’M ME. I’M NOT BORN TO IMPRESS OTHERS

I’m only me. That is all I can be. No more, no less, so don’t second guess. I love, I wish, I laugh. Some days I’m funny, others I’m not   I’ve been frustrated so much that I’ve wished sometimes that I could die. Sometimes I’m in overdrive and I can’t stop and sometimes I’m as slow and steady as a snail. You may not like me but that’s okay because that’s me and how I will stay So don’t expect that I’ll one day change for you. I’m only me so what you think of me doesn’t matter The only person I’m oblige to please is God my creator I may be weird and be a talkative, but it shouldn’t bother you It is who I’m and how I’m created so no need to impress you I do what I love and love what I do. Your opinion isn’t needed You either accept me the way I’m or excuse me and go your way After all I wasn’t born to impress anyone but myself and God.   I’m only me so I don’t care about Criticisers or critics I’m happy to be me. I may not be perfect but ...

A MUST READ: 13 AMAZING LOVE LESSONS

It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return but what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to tell the person how you feel. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right ones so that     when we finally meet the right person we will know how to be grateful for that gift. Love is when you take away the feelings; passion and romance of a relationship and find out you still care for that person. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you and only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be but you just have to let go. When the door of happiness closes another one opens but often time we look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the one which has been open for us. The best kind of friends is the kind you can just be with; never say a word and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you’ve ever had. It is true that we don’t know what ...
