New Month..New Thoughts

Hi friends..

It's great to be back again and I'm sure a lot of people would have been wondering what happened to all the promises I made about updating my blog on a daily basis. Don't mind me jare, that's why I'm human. We all promise and fail and that is why God is God( He alone Stands by His word).

Hmmmmm..where do i start from now, 'cos a lot has obviously happened these past week and it's only fair to keep u all posted. To be honest with you, September has been fun-fillled. It bore it's challenges too but i'm glad to be alive and kicking.

Had a wonderful time catching up with old friends at Bukky Omoba (Nee Kayode)'s surprise hen night. It was organised by Ann Summers(exotic lingerie makers) and we all had a swell time, only that it was an "oyinbo-ish" affair for some non-ajebo's like me. The wedding came up the week after, and it was another avenue to re-unite with old friends. This is wishing the beautiful bride a happy married life.

September has come and gone and I'm blessed to witness yet another new month. October is a remarkable month for me and for those who do not know, it's my birthday month and it doubles as my wedding anniversary too 'cos my husband and I were joined together the civil way on my birthday in the year 2005 and that to me marks the beginning of another year for me as a person and for us as "one" that the Lord has joined together for ever. I am excited that it's my month of double celebration and just like yesterday, my marriage would be 4 solid years. Wow!!!!!!!!!! It's just amazing how time flies.

My day started really early today. Infact, I didn't go to bed until 4:00am this morning and I personally thought I would be in bed all day since I slept very late, but for some reason, I only slept for about 3hours, as I got up again before 8:00am.

I woke up this morning with varoius thoughts racing through my mind. It's not unusual for me to be this way, because October has usually been my month of "sober reflections." It's a time I reminisce about this four lettered word called "LIFE". It's a time I think real deep and re-trace my steps if heading the wrong direction. It's a time I think about how to make an impact in my generation and live a remarkable footprint on the sand of time. It's a time I think of my relationship with my maker. It's a time I stop and smell the roses along the journey, It's a time I dream.....

It's a time I count my blessings and not discount them, It's a time I start with whatever I can do and refuse to stop because of what I cannot do, It's a time I think of creative ideas, It's a time I admit my mistakes, It's a time I stand up to be counted instead of lying down and be counted out, It's a time I forgive, It's a time I choose the right kind of friends, It's a time I believe in myself, It's a time I think big, It's a time I do ordinary things in an extra-ordinary way, It's a time to make I memory for tomorrow instead of regretting yesterday, It's a time I remind myself that the breakfast of champions is not cereal but challenges, It's a time I stare my problem in the face and fight like a warrior, It's a time I give the best that I have to the highest that I know and most importantly, It's a time I am aggressively thankful.

I am grateful to God for how far He has led me by his grace these past month and for another opportunity to witness my beloved country's independence. My heart is with all Nigerians as we celebrate this remarkable day and I hope we would all strive hard to better our country. I won't forget to wish a wonderful friend and brother a happy birthday today......Gbenga Bayegunsi(Loco) You're wished all the beautiful blessings of today. May God perfect all that concerns you and May you be a blessing to many generations. There is a lot happening this October and I hope to keep you all posted.

I am waiting anxiously to see my friend Chinonye Odagwe and her beautiful princess Chioma tomorrow. They're both flying in from Nigeria and can't just wait to see them. I'v been counting down to their arrival date, not because there is anything special about Chinonye(lol) but the excitement is because I would be meeting "Chi baby" for the first time and I would have her all to myself for about three weeks. To Chinonye....it would be nice to have you around too-at least we would have the opportunity to catch up on our usual girlie gossips and argue over loads of irrelevancies(lol) but don't forget the Princess comes first.

Hey Friends! I gotta go now. See you when u see me and keep reading and I will keep writing.

I remain ..

Yours Truly..
