Welcome to my blog 🤗
Hi everyone and happy weekend to you. It is officially the end of the first working week of 2025. I hope you had a productive and stress-free one. Whether you bounced back to the hustling or you're still working out plans on how to get the best out of yourself, business etc, I'm sure you're ready for the weekend to take a short break/rest. At my end here, it's been a busy week trying to put my workplace in order and attending to some walk-in customers. But this morning was dedicated to something have wanted to do for a while - cleaning my compound.
For the past week, my compound has been quite messy and i haven't got time to fix it. In the compound there are trees — mango and orange — and flowers that shed leaves and branches almost every day which makes the whole place messed up in no time. While the trees are amazing for their fruits and shade they provide for us, they give us so much work to do at least every week. The whole compound becomes so untidy when the leaves and branches begin to pile up. Hence, the need to clean them up weekly.
So, i started the cleaning process by wetting the ground in order to reduce the dust when i begin sweeping. I used a hose to spray water all around the compound to mix with the dust and make the sweeping task less dusty. If I didn't undergo this step the dust would fill the air as I sweep making the atmosphere uncomfortable to breathe. Also, it is unhealthy to inhale such excessive dust as it can use flu.
Then, I started sweeping the whole place bit by bit with my broomsticks. The broomstick is not long so it requires some bending down to be able to achieve a clean result. After the whole sweeping process i packed and thrashed the leaves. There's a special feeling of satisfaction that comes with looking at a well cleaned compound. It makes you feel relaxed as opposed to sighting so many dirts around when you enter your compound.
While I have started my Saturday off with some house chores, i urge you to also make the best use of yours. If there is anything on your to-do list that you've been wanting to do all week you can do it today. It could be taking time to rest, tending to your surroundings, cooking, seeing a movie, taking a walk, visiting a friend and so on.
We often get engulfed with working that we pay less attention to the minute things around us. It is good to work but it is also good to stay away from work and do some other important things in our life.
Do enjoy your weekend and see you in my next post.
