Recently, I have been
wondering how to enjoy life. Did I see you smile? It’s a serious thing ooo!
As a young child I
anticipated my future, I wanted so much to grow up so I could do more. As a
growing teenager, I still had dreams and plans and constantly told myself how I
would achieve more tomorrow. Before I knew it, so much time passed by, and I
seem now not to have so much time for all my compounding ideas. This has
created pressure, asides the above thought constantly being in my mind.
As I sat down today after
making a sumptuous dinner of tastefully spiced Indomie for my parents, and Eba
for my siblings and me, I realized that after all my hard work, no “thank you”
was said. Every other day, this does not get to me, but today I would really
have appreciated it, especially from my parents, because I had put so much in
their dinner that I would have traded their food for mine. I accused my mum,
and she graciously gave a generous portion of “thank you”. As I savored her
words, enjoying every moment, I remembered that I have met people, and I
have been one of such who ask others not to mention thanks for their acts
or deeds.
