 Dear Diary,

22nd January 2021

2:50pm, Nigerian Time

I am sorry, I took some time away. School resumed and I resumed my duty too. I take SS1, SS2 and SS3 classes. I teach English language. This week, on Monday, I started with revision. During the Monday class, I took ten minutes out of forty minutes to interact with the students. I asked them how they spent their holiday. At first, they were so shy and couldn't say a word. They were thinking or probably depressed, because they were about to get their examination report sheets. They were scared of failing. I had to let them know that no one was failing. As I said so, they began to talk. They were able to say something. I was happy I got their attention. 

The week so far is a happy one. I am happy for the new elected President and Vice President of the United States of America. Yesterday, Joe Biden lifted a travel ban on many African countries and Nigeria which is my country was one of it. I love Joe Biden, he is a leader of the phrase, “actions speak louder than words."

Today is 22nd January 2021 and I am gradually getting to the end of the compulsory one year service to my country, Nigeria. I can't wait to go back to my hometown. I miss my mother and my siblings. Bauchi State is extremely cold for my body and health. But it has been a great moment here. I learnt new things and had some experiences. I got the chance to see the world, see the life of people from different States of the federation. I learnt how to accommodate many and get along with others.

BLOGS I LOVE READING

Image
I discovered a new hobby, reading blogs. Surfing the internet and reading personal blogs is my new found hobby. I feel inspired and encouraged reading the lives of others especially a diary, journal or personal blogs. And I do lots of research online too. Every morning, I peep through www.makingsenseofcent.com. Making Sense of Cent is a personal finance blog owned by Micheal. She started the blog to document her student loan debt. I enjoy visiting her site even now than ever when I read she is pregnant and would be expecting her baby in December. I am super excited and waiting to see her beautiful baby. Another blog I visit is www.Bellanaija.com. A lifestyle and entertainment blog owned by Uche Pedro. In her blog, you see beautiful brides, happily ever after marriage and beautiful Nigerian weddings and couples. One thing I love about Bella Naija is her positivity towards marriage. Even though many marriages today are collapsing, she till put up beautiful and lovely stories of marriage.

Everyday Gratitude

Image
 Today I am grateful for life. I am grateful for good health. I am grateful for peace. Just being happy without anything being responsible for it. I am grateful for all the things I have in my life. I am grateful for my friends and the good people I have around me. I am grateful for love. I haven't found one yet but I am grateful. I am grateful for slow living. Waking up everyday, not rushing over anything and just living. So far, the feeling is wonderful. And I learned to trust God through the frustrations, obstacles, fears, tears and rejections. In my life I have seen the power of God. This is why I keep myself for Him and stay faithful to Him. No matter who I turn out to be, I will be grateful to God. I have gone through a lot already but each day, I thank God that those obstacles, bitterness and frustrations never took my life. I kept living. So everyday I live, breathe and see a new day, I give God praises.  Elizabeth Diaries ❤️

WORK GIVES FULFILLMENT

Image
Work is life, life is work. Work is fulfillment. Work saves us from depression, anxiety, frustrations of life, death and troubles. Also, it pays our bills. So a person who isn't working is a dead soul. Even though your parents are well to do or your brother, husband or whosoever is catering for you, it is good you have something doing. This is very necessary because at the end of the day, you see a housewife complaining about money and her husband's behaviours. What happens when they person catering for you dies or in cases of accident or eventuality? Everyone was born with a purpose, a calling and dreams. You discover your purpose and pursue your self development. You go to school, you learn a trade or skill, you perfect your craft, you create time for yourself and your hobbies, you develop yourself in any way you can. Apart from the money that work brings, work gives happiness and a sense of purpose. You are defined by your work and service to others. Moreover, work takes you
