Thoughts and Tales…A Lifestyle Blog with a Zing.
Secrets they hid away
their perversion no one saw
yet the perched little birdie watched in silence
he knew it all.

In my usual meandering, I came across this blooming plant sitting on top of the rocks and a thought crossed my mind.
We should see the rocks in our path as our stepping stones. That way, you can bloom where you are planted because love can grow even among the hard rocks.
A nondescript plant became a little lesson in nature and life.
Unfortunately, it was a bit steep to go up and since I’m not much of a rock climber, I admired it from below.

‘Petit à petit, l’oiseau fait son nid.’ Bit by bit the bird makes its’ nest.
I thought that I would only watch such stuff on National Geographic.
It was my utmost pleasure to spy as intrusively as possible on the little birdie constructing its’ nest.
It’s amazing how dexterous these little ones are.
Now, I regret not making a video.

Shadows are silver linings. You should have no fear of them because when you have a shadow, it means that you are standing in the light.
Trying to blog on my phone is a trying affair, to say the least. I haven’t sat down for more than a few minutes since I got to Lagos because I’ve got a lot to cover in just a few days. Lots of family and friends to see, laughter and gossip to catch up on.
I can’t believe how the days are flying past. I just boarded the plane how many hours ago on Sunday and now it’s Wednesday with only two more days to spend here.
I feel happy that I came and yet sad at the same time. Lagos is still my Lasgidi, though it seems as if things have been at a stand still with the poor government that has done its’ best to keep its people in poverty.
The wonderful thing about this place is the resilience of its’ people. The larger than life attitude towards life that they possess.
I am thankful for this opportunity to visit home once again. For family and good friends. For an epileptic light and internet service, bumpy, dusty roads 😉 it’s all good.
It is said that no one knows what tomorrow will bring and according to my people, we say that ‘tomorrow is pregnant and also backing a baby.’
Therefore, be wholly thankful for today that you have with you. There’s always something to be thankful for.

I love nuts.
I am yet to meet a nut that I didn’t like 😉
What about you? Are you into nuts?
Given all that’s happening in the U.S, I chuckled when I saw the annotation behind the lady’s T-shirt.
