A Peaceful Day of Rest, Good Food, and Sharing with Love* 💛

Good evening bestie, it's me again — BlessedI 👋

My day today, August 14th, 2026, was so fun, happy, and peaceful. I’m grateful for days like this where there’s no pressure, just peace and good food.

I woke up this morning still feeling very sleepy. My eyes were so red 😂 I think I stayed up late again. The first thing I did was drink a big glass of water because my throat was dry. After that, I just went straight back to bed. I slept again and I woke up so late. Honestly, it felt good to rest my body.

When I finally got up, I went to my bathroom to wash my face. But I noticed the water had stopped running. No water in the tap again. That’s life in Abuja sometimes. So I took my rubbers to go and fetch water in a nearby compound. When I got there, thank God their own was rushing very well. I fetched 2 rubbers of water and carried them back home. It was a bit heavy, but I managed. Water is life, so I was just grateful I got it.

After I was done fetching water, I cleaned around my house and also went to feed my grasscutters. They were waiting for me and looking hungry. I gave them fresh food and clean water. Taking care of them is part of my daily routine and I love it.

After doing that, I was already hungry. So I bought akara and I made pap to eat with it. Ah, it was delicious! That hot pap and fresh akara in the morning is a different kind of joy. My stomach was happy.

After eating, I took my shower and rested a little. I was just enjoying the calm weather. Later in the afternoon, I decided to take a few selfies of myself. I was feeling good and wanted to capture the mood.

Then I went to the kitchen and prepared rice with vegetable soup. Cooking always makes me feel productive. After I was done cooking, I remembered my neighbors’ children. I packed some of the food and gave it to them. They were so happy, and that made me happy too. Sharing food is one of the things I love doing.

After that, I served myself. The meal was so delicious. I ate and relaxed. I watched movies all throughout the day. There was no stress, no rush. Just me, my phone, my food, and peace.

Later at night, I warmed my remaining rice and vegetable soup and ate that for dinner. It tasted even better the second time 😂 That was how I spent my day — simple, peaceful, and full of gratitude.

How was your day, bestie? Did you cook anything nice today?
