WHERE AM I?

Hi dearest,

it’s so good to have you here, I really hope you’ve been great. Sit back and enjoy……

The last Saturday of June wasn’t one of the days I wanted to go out; I simply was going to settle so many pending issues in-house. Well, evening came so did hunger pangs. I couldn’t wait to get something into my tummy, in no time, I got ready and started heading towards the cafeteria.

I was coming from the last floor, few stairs to the ground floor when I saw a friend, as usual, we exchanged pleasantries and I kept moving when she suddenly said, ” Your cologne is nice”, I replied with a dimpled smile, “O thanks”!. Few seconds later, she turned and said,” You really smell nice”, once again with another dimpled smile, I replied, “thank you”.

Dearest, trust me these statements were really amazing because I did not wear any cologne that day so I didn’t expect any comment, positive for that matter or any emphasis. I was thinking deep and suddenly remembered that where I was prior to the time I left for the cafeteria had a very wonderful fragrance and I just happened to pass there at that time, so the beautiful fragrance just rubbed off on me.
My friend simply assumed I wore the wonderful fragrance not knowing I did not wear any, but trust me on this, I did have my bath. *Laughs*

Few hours later, I understood my bestie was teaching me a lesson from that experience that did not last for five minutes. Now dearest, ask yourself, Where am I? What or who is surrounding me?

Dearest, it’s high time you started being around places, people that will add value, beauty and fragrance into your life; I hope you remember that I didn’t wear any cologne but was only somewhere where someone's cologne rubbed off on me. Make sure you have the right people around you, so even if you are not a right person, the right people around you will rub off on you so in no time, you’ll be a right person.

Loads of Love,
Smiling D.
