The DIARY GAME—A Little Pause, A Lot of Gratitude 💛
Greetings everyone,trust we're all doing fine
I want to use this opportunity to tell us how my day went.
Today felt so awesome and rewarding,I didn't even believe my eyes or expect it.
But boom! It was a surprise.
After going for measurements today, something beautiful happened. A client I just finished working with smiled and said, “You deserve a treat. Go and relax, small. That simple recommendation felt like permission to pause. And for once, I listened.
Instead of rushing straight to the market for my appliqué, I decided to create a happy moment for myself.
I stepped into Chicken Republic looking calm but feeling proud. The sun outside was hot, but inside was cool and refreshing. I found a nice seat by the window, dropped my bag gently, adjusted my sunglasses, and just smiled. Sometimes, you need to see yourself the way others see you—hardworking, glowing, deserving.

My client ordered my meal, and when the tray arrived, I actually laughed. The food was too much! Rice, fries, big chicken, drink—ah! I said to myself, “Ruth, na celebration be this o.” I refreshed myself properly. Every bite tasted like a reward. Not just food—reward for consistency, for sleepless nights sewing, for creativity, for believing in my brand even when it’s quiet.
As I sat there, I realized something powerful: happiness doesn’t always have to wait for big achievements. Sometimes it’s in small pauses. In enjoying your own company. I'm looking good and feeling even better.
Before leaving, I packed some of the food because truly, the portion was generous. Why waste goodness? I stepped outside feeling light, satisfied, and thankful. Opened my car with confidence and drove off smiling—not just because I ate well, but because I honored myself.
Today reminded me that success is not only in the big orders or loud applause. It is also in knowing when to pause and create joy.
Work hard. Dress well. Eat good food. Celebrate yourself.
Signed,
A woman building her dreams beautifully

Oh, you're such a sunny, positive beauty!
And really, you need to have self-confidence and inner light. And a good mood, of course.
Good luck to you!
Greetings ma'am, your post of self gratitude is inspiring. I like the part you said happiness doesn't wait for achievement and I sincerely agree with you. Sometimes we wait for the right time or times of accomplishment to celebrate and we deprive ourselves of happiness and the worse of it all is that some people don't even live that long to celebrate it again. I feel that every day is a gift and therefore we should celebrate and you did it so well today. Great job ma'am.
