I knew some day I would definitely talk about this day or should I say this moment?
Well, it was way too special and remarkable for me not to speak about it, I was just waiting for the right time or when I am less busy with work and everything that steals a minute or two from me.
So I think if I don't do this today, I might never get to do it till the month runs out and I wouldn't love that cause I mean, I should honor this month with this piece.
When I preach about giving all my points, my accolades to intentional, kind and considerate people, I don't think I can or would ever go back on my words. I barely ask for anything as far as my disciplined self is concerned, I grew up doing a lot of things I wanted for myself and if help wasn't coming anywhere, I wasn't really bothered, so yes, even the tiniest effort and gestures from people gladdens my heart like in a million ways.
That someone thought of me, to meet my needs in some way, or gift me something or even make efforts to bless my day is something I don't take for granted, though I might likely not go around talking about it but those thoughtful gestures and kindness means a whole lot to me.
If I was told by someone or a fortune teller that my evening on this very day would unfold the way it would, I might have asked that person to either 'get lost' or go find something better to do for themselves. For someone who wasn't prepared for anything, nor look forward to anything.
I know in the past years that I had all my plans and thoughts figured out on how I wanted my day to be, both the morning and evening, it usually ends up the usual way I already envisioned it because I mean I did the planning in my head already before they were executed, so I never expect anything different from what I had already in my mind.
It was my first time not knowing what I wanted to do exactly on my birthday or where I wanted to go or who I wanted to be with or spend it with.
I was confused and also for the fact that my bank account was frozen two days to my birthday, I couldn't make transactions nor could I receive either. I wasn't really bothered as much knowing it was a general problem but why must it be the week of my birthday of all weeks?
It wouldn't have been that bad since I had a prior plan with a friend at work, apparently we wanted to sit out and grab some goodies but along the line, in the course of the week and my encounter with someone, that narrative changed.
Again if I was told that someone I met and only know for barely a month could take such action towards surprising me the way he did on my birthday, I wouldn't have believed it.
Apparently this kind thoughtful human asked for a chance to do a little something for me on my birthday, I had no idea what his intentions or motive behind that were but well, there was no harm in accepting and grabbing onto that chance that presented itself.
I did and the rest was history, I didn't only see a kind person, I saw an intentional person, I saw a generous person.
I saw someone who was willing, even if it cost him a whole lot for someone he barely knows.
And till date, that act alone counts the most for me, regardless if there were any motives behind it which still haven't been made known to me.
And this isn't something I rush over and forget in a hurry, not ever. It lives a rent free in my mind and my heart and I can't thank that soul enough for making that day such a beautiful and memorable one for me in his own way.
And of course these lovely Jpegs were taken by him too, a added bonus I didn't even ask for but got for free by just sitting pretty and letting him do his thing with his camera.
It might be a little too late but this is me telling that soul that everything beautiful will locate him and God will abundantly bless him for his act of kindness, Amen.
Now I can call it a wrap for this year's birthday!🌹
