PLB Editorial- A Great 'Normal' Day πŸ“…

Whenever you read this there's no reason to consider today another normal, unadventurous and unexciting day. Now, it’s about context, some people need that 'normal' day, some people have had so many terrible and toxic days that they simply want that 'normal' day back. No drama, or supernatural event, just the shining sun 🌞, the trees and the shade they give, the blowing leaves, the wind, a lake, river or the ocean in sight and a bottle of water or cup of coffee in hand. For some people, that used to be normal until something happened and disrupted their entire reality. Interestingly, they only realised how wonderful their days were when it was long gone... we can do better to appreciate each day.

The day doesn’t have to be dramatic or “supernatural” to be wonderful- love, tranquil and watching normal people just living on the good side of the human experience can be a beautiful experience. Like staying put atop a tall building or walking the beach side, even easier, just sitting outside the house and observing people and nature.

The whole point is, 'normal' can be a blessing. In my books, the scenario relayed above makes for an absolutely beautiful day. Tranquility is a beautiful place to be, unclogged thoughts and clear-cut imagination, staying on a thought and seeing it through to action points; writing a new page for my novel, seeing new perspectives on subject matters, listening to genuine stories and accounts, having open-minded discussions, seeing a dream unfold, gently unwrapping a gift, being kind (and sometimes receiving appreciation for it), practising love to all and allowing my smiles linger a little longer, ignoring distractions, receiving and giving good news, helping a stranger, helping a friend, an undisturbed deep sleep, getting once-for-all-time grade answers to lingered questions πŸ’‘, having enlightening and practical conversations (Ooooh this one!) enjoying people.

A great day is in your hands, even if it seems simply 'normal'.

Count the Cost

  Luke  14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? I'd never forget a knowledge I got in my Economics class while I was in my Pre-degree programme in 2013. The lecturer asked "what comes first, consumption or production?", without any hesitation, everyone shouted " Production ". The lecturer looking at us unsatisfied with some subtle grin on his face, asked " why?" , a guy raised his hand confidently, got up and said " because we produce before consumption can take place", the lecturer laughed, and we all for a minute looked bemused with certain indistinct chatters here and there, after some minutes, the lecturer called the young man and asked "so what happens when you produce and there's no one to consume it", and for about some few seconds, there was a seeming silence in the hall, you could hear a pin drop. The loud silence was fol...
