I have a new neighbor and we have been getting along with each other for sometime now. We started to get close with each other and she comes to my shop regularly. She came today and her child was awake for the first time. I was thinking that all babies sleep but when I saw him awake, that was when I knew that babies play and wake but she said so many things.
This baby is a year and a few months old but can’t talk nor walk so I was shocked.
I thought a child of that age should at least be able to walk or talk and some of those children will even be able to do the two.
Then she said her first child was so sharp and he began to walk when he clocked eight months while his brother can’t walk now when he is a year and two months old.
When she left my shop, I started to wonder why a child of that age wouldn’t walk. Then, I began to reflect on life issues.
What you may be able to do well is what another person may find difficult to achieve just like his brother did. My neighbor at shop heard me thinking aloud and also explained more about life to me.
We’re different people and we are not destined to make it all at the same time so we all have a time we will shine. It also got me thinking about my career. I know I have a shop but I also have a career so my time will come. I think I was just so fast to switch away from the fact that the boy can’t walk to real life issues about people and time.
Later, my neighbor at shop left me to attend a customer at her shop. Suddenly, a car passed by my shop playing song aloud and it was about what was running in my mind. I just began to listen to that particular song.
Lukas Graham ~ Seven Years
This is the particular song the driver was listening to and it even made me remember when I was younger and I was always playing this song.
One time, we are young, another time, we grow facing life challenges and all.
While listening to this song, I felt relieved but trust me, I was still thinking hard about my life and where I may be in the next few years but no matter what happens, I’d be in a good place.
Christina Perri ~ A Thousand Years
I was still reflecting on the same issue when I saw an advertisement about this song. I guess music applications always know what we are interested in at that moment based on our previous search. I saw this song and gave it a listening ear. Trust me, it was worth the time.
In life, we do things one step at a time. Live, love and don’t worry sbout tomorrow.
