Honestly today I learnt the biggest lesson in life and the lesson I learnt was about worrying. Before this Christmas, some of my friends and relatives have promised me one thing or another which kept my hopes alive. I was diligently playing my own part by working and saving up some money hoping to be able to at least buy a new pair of shoes of the brand that I so desire. At a point in time it seems as if this Christmas wasn't going to be any fun for me but yet I never gave up on hope. I remembered the piece of clothing material which I bought early this year around January and since then I had in mind to use it to sew clothes for myself. It was last week that I decided to cut the material and get to work, at least I shouldn't be seen with that same set of clothes I have been known with before.

One thing that I've noticed in my profession is that as a fashion designer, you can keep making good outfits for people and almost ignore yourself entirely especially as it concerns making as many clothes for yourself as possible. There are times when I wish to make some clothes for myself but I wouldn't be lucky enough to do that and also I love doing my outfit by myself because I know I will do my best and make it good just the way it will satisfy my taste.
I have also noticed that people in a certain kind of profession hardly even make time to provide for themselves the same services they render to others on a daily basis. Today I had my biggest surprise, the beautiful shoes which I have so much longed for and had told my uncle that I would love to have it and it appeared as if he ignored my request. Today very early in the morning while I was in the kitchen processing the chicken, I heard my phone ringing in my bedroom, so I hurriedly left everything I was holding and immediately washed and dried my hands to make sure it's clean enough.
I rushed to my room and grabbed my phone as I was about to accept the call, it ended. I looked to know who the caller was but it was a new number which I hadn't saved on my phone, so I tried calling back to identify my caller. As I dialed back expecting to hear its dialing tone I saw a notification that the line was busy with another call. Feeling so disappointed that none of my friends or relatives had called me yet. I went back to the kitchen and continued what I was doing, even while I was cooking I was very bothered in my heart.
Just as I was about to finish with my kitchen business.
I heard my doorbell ringing and immediately I took the dry kitchen towel where I carefully hung it and cleaned my hand. Then I headed straight for the door, before I could get to it the doorbell rang again. I raised my voice and announced that I'm coming.

Song lyrics
I got to the door and quickly did my normal security checks before opening the door. Just as I opened the door, I saw his face and suddenly I saw other people rush to the door from the corners where they had hidden to avoid my direct view. It was my uncle and his family, they had all come together to pay a visit. To shorten the long story, my uncle presented to me the shoe he had bought for me and it was exactly the shoes I had told him about, the shoe that I had desired which would perfectly match with the clothes I made for myself. More of my happiness was that it was exactly the same color even though it was very costly. I couldn't contain my joy, I hugged my uncle with so much joy. Soon after he had left with his family as he had announced their plan to visit other places, my friends started coming one after another and none of them came empty handed. I was so happy and served them food. There was so much fun, while eating I picked up the remote controller to my sound system and turned it on. Then I carefully selected one of my very best songs from Abba “Knowing me, knowing you”.
I adjusted the volume to be at a suitable level. I was completely overwhelmed with joy and I pray that others like me who may not see any reason to smile now will have more reason to smile, jump and dance more than me very soon.
Thanks for reading my post.
your observation about life is totally true. We don't give ourselves the happiness we serve others. It's also the same in my profession.
Your uncle deserves a hug for the fitting shoe. Atleast, I'm happy you brought out some time for yourself, it's necessary.
Greetings🎄
