Time

Is it me, or there just isn't enough time nowadays to fit your whole parole in a day.
Giving it a thought, it's this festive period. I can not imagine how many enemies I have made because of Time or should I say lack of Time.

Please my friends cut me some slack.... Unlike all you guys with drivers, a young lady has to drive herself everywhere. Am too busy shuttling between the Island and the Mainland, I kiss my teeth all the time! In a day I have to attend like a zillion parties, and that is very impossible. You guys can agree with me that driving in Lagos is not child's play, it's serious concentration with the crazy drivers and soo much traffic out there.

I must say that this festive season is just too festive for my liking. There are too many events and parties that I have to be there so I have been cheating nature and basically nature is fighting back. I am fatigued practically all the time, I wonder if age has to do with it???? Hmmn......

Talking about age, there was a time I went out from Sunday to Sunday without a break and I felt brand new. I think I was about 19 years then. Those days when you wore heels every single day and you didn't feel anything. I recently wore heels for three consecutive days and by the fourth day I couldn't walk in them. lol

I remember those days when I club hopped, from a bar in east London to a club at the west end, to another in south London. My point is when you get to a certain stage you should stay put but that's just not me. Ever since I got back, I think I have tried to pick up where I left off but it just hit me that it doesn't work that way. I have been out of town for too long, when I say out of town, I don't just mean out of the country; I was in a relationship for four years and all we did was dinner, movies and get-togethers. No clubs, no bars, just the two of us in our own little world till it came crashing ( A story for another time).

All these excessive partying, clubbing and drinking needs to be left for the younger generation. The other day I was at a party, my nieces invited their friends over(ages 16- 19 years) and the men there were practically drooling. Then I thought, that used to be me and my friends........ Now most of them are married (with kids), or about to be married, they are too busy running after their husbands (husbands-to-be) and children.

Time is a very delicate, yet no nonsense part of our daily lives. It waits for absolutely no one! Whether you're a President or a commissioner, or a maid or a servant. It's very important to make use of time very wisely because you can never get it back. In this coming year 2010, I have decided to make use of my time efficiently, no procrastination, no leaving anything till late. I want to be the best woman I can be, so I am going to start by managing my time wisely

So am going to end this blog by quoting what we all know about time;

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
Time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

So who is with me on using our time efficiently???? I know I am!
