Dear January…


Dear January,

Are you shocked? 😲 Well, don’t be.
I bet you weren’t expecting to hear from me, neither did I think I’ll do this – it was totally unplanned. But as I ruminate on what you brought to the table this year, I must say, “You get nerve!”

Funnily enough, it didn’t surprise me. I knew you would just play out what has been ordained for you. Don’t expect me to score you, I’ll let others do that. But one of the things I’d say is by His grace, I’m on the 31st with you, and so much has happened, but we are here.

Thank you for the beautiful people I got to celebrate their special day and moments with. Some I didn’t, but I’m glad you gave them that opportunity to feel loved regardless.

As for this breeze, abi nah harmattan, I no understand, but it’s here, and we hear it’s bad for the health. Could you please let us know on time when next you decide to pull such stunts.

By the way, the little garden we started is blooming. It was no fun putting the stems tenaciously into the ground, but when I saw it bud, the joy πŸ˜€ was not to be compared. I look forward to watering it now or having someone do it πŸ˜‹ πŸ€” πŸ˜…

There may be complaints about how you roll, I think we all should be used to you by now and not let December deceive us into living each day without plans, spend all we have in that euphoric atmosphere and then blame you in the long run. πŸ˜‰

By the way, after all the promises of a better 2024 and a happy new year, it’s been one tale after another from the skipping prices of PMS to the increasing insecurity and power being withheld just because they can (of course, they’ll defend it and blame it on something) you bin no gree.

I remember those who have transitioned and the bereaved, πŸ’” πŸ˜” my heart goes out to them. May the God of all comfort, surround you with a peace only He gives. Amen.

I’ve resumed reading, a new craft and mentoring the Heritage and Wana, so they can share their own generational thoughts with me and others. It’s a good thing to have one’s mind expanded. I’ve heard many great songs 🎡 ‘Emperor Of The Universe’ by Dunsin Oyekan and Theophilus Sunday, ‘Mmedi’ by Progress Effiong, ‘You Are Great’ by Moses Bliss and the gang and more this month and they are in my head all the time. Thank you.

As much as I’d like to voke, I can’t. Even the dramas I encountered were lesson periods πŸ™ƒ πŸ˜…. One thing that has been constant is the truth that I’m loved 😍 πŸ‘Œ ❀️ and Abba tells me that all the time in the sweetest of ways. You guys know yourselves… as always, I yob you.
