That annoying siren!

One of the new and widely accepted trends in newly-built or recently-refurbished houses are the alarm systems that go off when electricity is restored from PHCN i.e. when ' Nepa brings light'!

If you are familiar with these sirens, you'll know that they are so loud and alarming ( and sometimes upsetting).
To have these sirens go off every time PHCN gives you light is a source of joy for a lot of us. But when the bored NEPA official keeps switching off and switching on the power, it becomes ' that annoying siren!'.

How many things in our lives that are supposed to be a source of joy and contentment have become that annoying siren?

The circumstances around us tend to turn the once-enjoyable experience to a routine, tasking responsibility.

The once great husband has become 'that man', your lovely wife that "fat woman", the job you once loved has become a burdensome routine.

The challenges of life tend to take away the special moments all around us if we allow them.
 A lot of people have fallen into this trap without even knowing it.

It's time to put off that siren and just enjoy the joys of the restored electricity! 

As we go into the week, put off the siren if you must, and enjoy the little victories that come with each day, appreciate the numerous blessings around you and watch the seemingly big challenges become infinitesimal. 

Say a kind word to your subordinate because some people don't even have a job, appreciate your spouse and embrace your kids . 
Do something to show that you acknowledge and are thankful for the small blessings and watch God take care of every other thing.

Have a great week folks and stay healthy.
God bless Nigeria.
