Someone once said that I am a happy bird, I get excited at the most minute thing and people always wonder if I get angry. I have a dimple on my left cheek and it is always visible as I smile a lot. A little smile, a little hug, a little "IB are you okay?" can brighten my day, how it happens I still can't place it.
Do you just look at certain things and stop to think about how simple they are yet they speak volumes? That’s how I feel when I see some things.
I derive joy from so many things that cannot fit in one post hence the little I highlighted below which are in accordance with the contest rules.
My Bed
To start with my bed. My bed will forever be the most welcoming non-living thing of all time.
It is the only constant thing in my life, no matter the place I go to or whomever I meet with up it, I will forever go back to my Love.
My bed has seen me at my lowest, it has always been there for me. When sickness comes knocking and I want to shut everyone out, my bed is always there for me. I have cried while lying down on it, I have laughed out really hard, I have had deep meditations and I have had wonderful dreams that made me smile in my sleep while lying on this bed. No matter how chaotic my day is I am assured that sleeping on my bed and going to lala land will ease my pain. it is the last thing I get on every day and the first thing I get off every day too. So yeah, I am stuck with this precious non-living thing for a very long time.
Money
To a lot of people staring at the amount of money they have means nothing but to me it means a lot. It is a reminder that all hope is not lost. No matter how bad the economy is I will still have some notes in my wallet to get by and the good thing is that, it motivates me to add more to the lot. Staring at the money I have in my wallet and account is also a reminder of how far I have come financially.
I chuckle whenever I think about how broke I was before now and looking at how far I have come financially I just can't help but give myself a thumbs up, I tell myself "Young lady, you are doing super great!"
My phone
My phone will always be my best friend, it has almost everything in this world except food. From it, I receive great news and bad news sometimes.
It has the ability to cheer me up when I am down. I start my day by turning off my alarm every morning. Waking up to hearing my alarm ring is a confirmation that I did not die in my sleep, I made it, and I survived another night to turn off the annoying alarm.
My phone will always be super useful to me. From the confines of my home, I get to tour around the world and communicate with people that matter to me all courtesy of the little device in my hand.
Sunrise
One of my morning routines is opening my curtain to let the light from the sun grace my room. Waking up to a new day and being privileged to see the sunrise is something I do not take lightly. A lot of people went to bed around the same time as I did but were not opportune to see the sunrise the next day and honestly that's a plus for me. So yes, staring at the sun while it rises through my window is such a big deal to me and while doing this I reflect on my life.
I think about all the life challenges I have been able to overcome, my little wins and the things I want to happen in my life moving forward.
Birds
Most times I stop to look at the birds and every time I am amazed. Nobody takes care of these beings yet they appear beautiful as always.
They don't shower three times a day as we humans do, they have no skincare routine no makeup but damn those creatures look good every single time I see them. How do they do it? How do they constantly keep fit and glow? these and many more are the things I think about whenever I see them. I am always in awe of them. Each and every time I think about all of these I can't help but applaud the creator of the universe for taking care of His own. Watching as they fly in groups almost immediately gladdens my heart as well.
I may not have all the things that I desire just yet but I am content with the little and simple things that I have that makes me happy.
