My alarm woke me up at 4.45 am. Yes, that’s how early I wake up on Mondays because you can’t really predict traffic around my house on this day :(. I brush my teeth, have a bath, get dressed, say my prayers and we are out of the house. I say “we” because my husband and I roll to work together, I actually enjoy it because I really don’t have to think about fueling my car, yay!!!
Fast forward to the office, I read my daily devotional — today’s one is talking about Capacity; Whatever I have, Wherever I am, I can make it. I was really struck by these words as I recently started a new job and I am still trying to adjust to all the egos, attitudes and the processes around me. We started the early Monday morning meeting every employee dreads because you can’t be too sure if the big boss dreamt about you the previous night. Thankfully I wasn’t the target today. A pre-planned meeting with one of the biggest hotels in Lagos left me a little unhappy but I wasn’t going to let that spoil my day. It’s the hubby’s birthday this Thursday and I’m going to be in high spirits all week (uber excited :) :) :) ).
Meeting over, went to pay my phone bill, more meetings, trying to prepare for another meeting with one of our biggest clients on Thursday and then I get a call saying “Good day Ma, you were at our office today, we just realized you left your cheque book behind” arrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhh (at this point I hear my yoga instructor’s little voice saying — inhale, exhale, inhale exhale).
I take a break to have my home cooked fish pepper soup with avocado and vegetable salad for lunch and it was AMAAAAAAAAAAAZING. I am trying to go from a size 12 to a size 8 so I am on a strict diet. I don’t know how long I can keep up with this. Should I be a little more realistic and work on being a size 10? For today though, I am motivated by the words from my devotional:
Whatever I have, Wherever I am, I can make it.
