Another rambling day

"We have all the light we need, we just need to put it in practice".

Albert Pike

It's just like some normal days where ideas would disappear, thoughts would pause and you start racking your brain if something could somehow pop up like an idea but no, you just have to keep scrolling your phone, checking statuses and updates on other social media, perhaps you might see something to talk about.

I have been happy since the beginning of this month and it finally arrived today. Today marks it a year on Hive as a blogger and to tell you that, the journey wasn't as easy as I thought. Though I knew Hive before readcash but the site wasn't for me. I became used to readcash that I didn't have any interest in Hive because it was just like Steemit and to grow there, you will have to work your ass off to even earn, but it was all a lie. Yes, Hive is just all about posting in the right communities and getting whales to upvote your posts which would encourage you to keep doing what you love. 

When I started, it was tough but I didn't mind since I was doing fine on readcash, but I finally joined and participated in the newbie initiative program which helped my account to grow to some extent. After many months, in fact starting from this year, I have been enjoying Hive and I was like “If I had known this little secret since I joined Hive, things would have been different for me”, but nevertheless, all that matters is that I am enjoying Hive now. I joined different communities and participated in contests and weekly challenges which is good advice for newbies wanting to join Hive. There is a big possibility and great chance to do well if you engage in contests and challenges, also much interaction too. Anyways, enough of that as I already made my post to celebrate my one year on Hive. 

They are already expecting me in my hometown and my siblings have been calling me to come so I can have some rest. I submitted my project on Monday and I am so happy because I am done with my degree, expecting our results in a few months and probably going for service this year which I am hoping for. I already cleaned my room, packed everything neatly and did some washing. I learnt this habit from my Aunt a long time ago. When she is about to travel, she would wash everything in the house including the rugs and curtains and even her sofa and dry them outside in the sun. She would wash her plates, clothes and arrange everything neatly before leaving the house. 

My friends were trying to discourage me from doing this but I told them I have been used to it. Yesterday, I brought all my shoes and sandals out for washing as the sun was out and I dried them before taking them in. I washed all the plates and buckets and packed them all in one place. 

Luckily for me, my gas got finished this morning as I prepared my breakfast and I won't be refilling any until I return back as I plan on traveling tomorrow by God's grace. I gave out my foods to neighbors because leaving them inside might get spoiled, and instead of that, I would rather dash it out for others to eat than to waste. 

My younger sister called me last night and I reminded her of my travels. She told me to help her get something for Grandma. I asked what she wanted me to get for her and she said “a high heel shoe”. I laughed so hard that I was rolling on the ground. My sister is always this funny type and she has her way of making me laugh. I told her, mama is very old, so she doesn't go to Church again. Why would you want to give her a high heel shoe? Do you want her dead soon? Lol

She said “Mama has been praying for death to come and taking this way through a high heel would make it easier and she would be happy” I still couldn't stop laughing because I knew it was all Joke. 

Truth be told, these grandmas have a way of begging for death to come and take them quickly because they have lived for long and have seen a lot. I can't blame my grandma because she already lost 5 children when she was still at her prime age and she is afraid of not losing any other child at this age, rather she wants to go first. I told mama not to pray such a prayer because she would have to be a great grandmother to my children. She would smile anytime I say this but that is the truth. I want her to be alive in good health. 

Lastly, someone is challenging me to join a community on hive where I can sing via video but I am not interested and ready to show my face because of that, but he wants me to do it which I had to promise him I would try. Perhaps, going home would give me more time to sing any type of song in the community. So if you are on Hive, expect my crack and bad voice. Lol

Thanks for reading
