Neighbours 61

On Thursday last week I was at Nairobi hospital,yes at the Doctors' plaza.I wasn't sick.I am of very good health.I was going to pick something from somebody who was there.I wasn't having even a headache.This does not mean that I don't participate in the anti-malaria protests.Those protests turn violent because these mosquitoes at times hum some music and pretend to be all peaceful but they suck my blood.This confrontation always turns violent and I have been forced to use excessive force which has resulted to fatalities to some mosquitoes.I may not have enough evidence to prove that the misquito was from the anopheles clan,and it was female..I carry out the extra judicial killing hehe.Back to serious matters,As I sat at the receiption seeing movements of sick people I thought to myself how healthy I have been.I started counting my blessings and health was the first one.So many times when we talk of blessings we think of 'things'.We forget the very basics.The fact the I havent been sick for so long is just a blessing.God watches over me.
Have you ever gone through something then you are tempted to think you are the only one?.Life has many challenges.On wednesday while on a bus from town,I had sat next to a guy I knew,actually we were coursemates in campus.We didn't know each other technically.Stop looking at me like that,yes our class had 'tyranny of numbers'.We were strangers,just neighbours,but I knew him by face atleast.Am Wawaya,I just couldn't pretend that I didn't know him..I had to strike a conversation."Hey,you were in K.U?''I inquired.''Yea'',he replied."Bcom right?''I added.''Yea,infact I remember you too''he confirmed.Our conversation just faded until when I was alighting when I just said ''pamoja bana''.How else do (young)men say bye to fellow men other than,wazi,pamoja,tutazidi..hehe.It occurred to me that this guy also knew me by face but didn't have enough courage to say it and probably start a conversation with a former coursemate.We never asked each other our names.If I had to choose to pretend that I had never seen him,guess what, maybe we both could pretend because we obeyed our fears.At times in life we fear same things,courage is outstanding.Stand out,break out from fear today.
Our cat is back,it was repatriated back to its residence...yes east or west home is best.Am glad its around,no rat will imagine even passing by because its matter of life and death..no in between like 'Manono' or the chopper guy.Hey what is eating you up today?,I remember when I was ten years we had a dog that had lived more years than I and my friends would tease me that I had to respect 'simba' because we weren't agemates..hehe,I was young..'simba' passed on long ago but am here...you are special you are loved by your maker.
Blessed week ahead.
