My annoying blackberry alarm was on again.It was 6.30 am .A bright Sunday; a new week with new hopes. I stretched my arms as far as i could with my eyes closed trying to use my senses to feel the whereabouts of my blackberry so i can hit the snooze button and get extra five minutes of sleep; and I did just that . As i woke up , i checked the time on my phone , then moved on to check my blackberry for any important messages I might have missed while I was asleep . The first thing that caught my eye was a status update that Whitney Houston had died . Thinking it was a rumour i took out my laptop and googled the news. Yes it was true , she was dead at the age of 48 .
While driving to work all that was going through my mind was how we took life for granted.
As reported by the news she was partying with friends. little did she know that in a few hours her life would come to an end. I had a a reel of thoughts running through my mind . Am i doing enough ? what if it was me that had to sleep and not wake up ? Am i doing enough for my religion ? Did i tel my dad i loved him enough ? am i getting enough cuddles from my mom ? my siblings, my cousins , am i spending enough time with them ? My friends, oh my dear friends who have brightened my life just by being there , am i doing enough for them while I am here? We tend to take things and people for granted , thinking we will always have them around . We are wrong , very wrong .
When I got to work suddenly i found myself giving my all in the office .I went around and wished everyone a good morning . As the day went on i realised i do want to make the best of what I have , while i have it .Give the people around me the best of me because that is what they deserve. I had so much energy and took the time to speak to everyone around me . Yes we all have ups and downs , but we have stay strong. No more hitting the snooze button in life. If i miss someone i will call , won't leave it till tomorrow or the day after. My to do list , i will get through it , my resolutions for this year ? Going to stick them next to my bed so I can see it everyday. My goals ? i will reach them , and my dreams aren't too far away from me if i just believe in them. What will you do ? hit the snooze button or get up and do it right ?
