MAY

For most of last year and a good part into this year, I challenged myself to use social media to bless the people in my world through sharing inspirational stuff that has touched me. One of the things I did was take advantage of the phone app whats-app and send a positive declaration at the start of every month. It became such a ritual that even when I did forget, I would have some faithfuls remind me and ask when that new month message was coming.

This month though, one of them caught me by surprise by sending me one that not only blessed me but gave me a lot to think about. It read,

Welcome to May

May you find Grace

May you find Peace

May you be blessed

May you be Happy

May you never Weep

May you Succeed

May you excel

Why?

Because its May and Miracles await you.

It was so timely that I just copied it and shared it with all those in my contact list. As I did I couldn't help but wish that indeed I would be able to touch those Miracles that May promises. Not only did the sequence and flow of this prose catch me but the fact that it is May and yes, we are nearly half way into the year. This is a time when I usually look back and sort of start to panic and reflect on my well laid plans and how far or near I am about to see them realised.

This particular May, my life seems to be in pause /mute mode in things I hoped would be a done deal by now and getting this message in my waiting window took me back to a time when the word May was first emphasized to me most when used in connection with Can. In the English grammar lessons May was used as a politer way of asking permission whereas Can was used in more of a capability way, I often had to be corrected when I asked for something to say May I as opposed to Can I. I think it is safe to say that I now know the variations of the two and can use them accordingly.

Thus May comes into play now as am asking and willing for the possibility to touch for some things I thought I would have before we are half way through the year. Sometimes you do need stuff and its up to you to put in the hard work and get there, well not this time. I have laid the hatch, put my bait and have nothing to do but wish that the fish gets here soon.

So I am going back to that wish/prayer that I read as I started the month of May and using my politest , most pleading, humble voice with all that I have within me asking the Lord that May things fall in place and May I soon be on my way to seeing these blessings manifest in my life. Living the dream.
