moving on...

"The past cannot be regained, although we can learn from it; the future is not ours even though we plan for it... we have only today" This is aquotation from Charles Hummel and I must say it's so true, often times all we do is hold grudges about something that happened in the past, we plan for tomorrow but forget that the best time to live is today.I remember while still at University how we planned for our days after school, how we would get good jobs and beautiful homes, when I look back I laugh and smile and thank God that though I planned for how am living now am also glad that the plan was successful but I learnt one important thing, that we only have today.
Just imagine if one did her best today I guess each one would be satified with what he or she has done and if we continued living our lives this way then every day would be a happy day for each and every one of us.
I can't help but think of the days when I was a young girl, growing up in the village with my grandie, going to the forest to collect firewood, going to the well to fetch water, going to the garden... at times Feel like going back to such alife style but then, the days are long gone and am now all grown up and used to the city life but I must admit that when I think of those days I feel like rewinding the clock and going back to being that little girl who enjoyed her village life, there was no electricity, but my grandie's little mud kitchen was a very confortable place. I remember me, my sisters and brothers would sit together and quitely each listening attentively to the colonial stories my grandie told us....
That was life then and I must appreciate the fact that I did have that opportunity of living in the village I know some of my friends have never experienced it and when one ever talked of village life they all seem lost. I learnt alot from this kind of life I was exposed to, by then my grandie would tell us that if we wanted to live like the people in the city we had to read hard all she kept saying was that we were no different from the kids in the city only that we lived in the village and they lived in the city. To cut the long story short,we did read hard, have gotten jobs and are living today to the fullest. And as for my grandie, believe me she is the happiest grandie I know of and I can never thank her enough...
As I keep growing that is age wise, I learn alot and I use all my past experinces as something I can draw back to. But as for now am taking every day as if it were my last day on this earth and am expecting every one of you people out there to do the same and please not neglect to plan for the future, we do so for the next generation and for ourselves as well I dont think any of us would want to work during the old age when you should be relaxing and reminiscing the old good days
Till then....
