I will call it......

So I do not Forget.

It's funny how I cannot remember where I saw that phrase...So We do not Forget....maybe a movie, a book or an article. I definitely know it did not come from me. 
So what don't I want to forget?  

I wrote about me being broke and all. I had no kobo on me to go to the office. Kiitan suggested we use the car. The fuel gauge was on reserve. I didn't mind using it on Sunday to church when the gauge was almost on E, at least I could see it wasn't at the empty bar. But this time, I didn't want to consider it. 

She even went further with 'let's take the gas along' (we went out of cooking gas the night before) and then, the typical me was like No..o. But then again, I considered. Considering my stance, she decided against it even after telling me to have faith. I had thought of taking the container we use for petrol for the generator just in case the car stopped on the way and I had to source for fuel on borrowed money. I decided against it. I parked the car outside the compound and waited for Kiitan to be ready, then it clicked. 

I decided to go back inside. Took the gas cylinder, also took the can for petrol, not for emergency fuel but for the generator in the evening. We drove down to the office on the empty bar. God had always made a way in the past, this time was not going to be different. And he did. 

It happened that I had to submit a statement of expenses. It was then I realised I accounted wrongly for a particular sum at the office. I had added 7,000 Naira or more of my money to that of the office. A typographical error on an Excel Sheet, which meant I had given the office my money. I suddenly realised I had 7,000 Naira. Enough for all the stuff I took out. Hmm...

The Vacation Idea

  Kiity and I differ on this. What is a vacation? What is a retreat? Kiity made me think of retreat. To me, every time away from work is a vacation. This is my simple definition.  I recall when I was studying. The same definition applied. Anytime away from school is a vacation. When the school is not in session, we are on vacation. The same has applied to my work life.  But Kiity sees it differently. She had to google this and the AI overview gave the feedback below: A vacation is primarily for relaxation and fun, while a retreat focuses on personal growth, self-reflection, and often includes structured activities aimed at improving well-being Kiity is right by this definition. I have told her.  In my own world, it seems definitions are simple and when adhered to, makes my life simple. Where did all this come from? It came from a post Kiity made on Polarsteps about "our first Family Vacation". I looked at it and said we had done a lot of vacations in the past based o...

An Open Letter to Kunfaiyeoluwa

  I would love to draft a long letter to you. But the thoughts and words captured above say a lot that I want you to carry on for the rest of your life.  You indeed have a legacy to cherish and to build on. Your mum, grand-mums and great-grand-mums are one of the strongest and determined persons I have met and I know the seed lives on in you. Yes, I did come to know them all and I see the foundation you have to lean on. You are Royalty both Spiritually and by Land Origin. 1 Pet 2:9 reminds me of your spiritual royalty and the knowledge that you are of the origin of men who have reigned as Kings in Nigeria both in Kogi and Ondo States. Therefore, let the words scribed above by the Queen of the Southern Nigerian Kingdom bring light to you today and for every other day. I was watching a movie during the past weekend and it showcased a Father who stood by his daughter even when the whole community were against her. I would like you to know that I would be by your side from Day 1 t...

The Many Walks with Kiity

 Ever heard of the benefits of 30 minutes walk everyday?  I bet you have. Walking is a great way to improve or maintain our overall health. Just 30 minutes every make a change in your life. I took a walk for 1 hour once and I felt the effects. It was about 8km in all and I could feel my legs tingling when I finished. The next day, the muscles spoke and I was happy.  Kiity and I enjoy taking lots of walks. We did that a lot in Nigeria both individually and together. I enjoy it more when we do it together. Since we arrived the Netherlands in April this year, we have had several walks and I enjoy it more when we do it together.   Walking over a small bridge, De Poel, Amstelveen I decide to take walks for many reasons;  - To exercise. - To clear my head and away from the familiar - To see the environment and new places. - To breathe a different air. The most important is to talk. This is when I do it with Kiity. We have to talk about something as we go.  W...
