NOVEMBER BABIES- HAPPY BIRTHDAY

They say, ' everyones birthday is today, but not everybody's birthday is everyday.' This day of 5th November happens to be my birthday. I am told that great men are born in november. It is a time to reflect on my life and see how God has allowed me to move. Seventeen minutes past midnight a lovely friend sent an sms though the ring of the phone disturbed me, i was happy because she remembered and managed to wake up. The monrning was of a lot of suprises from my brother and friends; i had the common 'water bath baby.' I was also getting offered coz i was dressed for work being a monday but hey what could i have done i let it. Well, 30minutes in my office a phone rung that my computer has been stolen from my small struggling business office in town (being a young enterpreuner-had allowed for free for a youth organization to use my computer as a contribution towards youth empowerment) As i write i dont know how i should feel but yet this has prompted me to write this article. I find it a nonsense for someone to steal a tool that has been in that office for long and hold a lot of data and proposals for a youth NGO. As I sit in this other office were National Malaria Control Centre Has given a small contract with the funding of World Health Organization, i feel let down by my fellow friends that do not want to see development in life. I wish these thieves would come to their senses and bring back the computer or maybe i say let them use it for a noble cause... i wonder how such would use it. On this birthday when i thought to have joy, has brought a slap on my face and a step behind yet i stand and keep on reflecting and feel it's a blessing because am going to work hard and buy two of such kinds of computers. My freind always says, "What can not kill you is good enough, it makes you strong." Well a birthday is just like any other birthday yet brings you to reality coz one would have grown and never to be back a child. I want to count my success and i have to set even new goals. While it might be sad for the stolen property i count it pure joy, my goals are even higher. Take time to reflect on your birthday. Happy Birthday to all Novemember Babies
