Life is like Building a Christmas Tree

No jokes, Its like that; My parents, younger sister and I arrived Ibadan, Nigeria about two weeks ago and several days after that my mom wanted me to put up a Christmas tree. (yup, the one "Made in China"). So, we got to the store brought it out and started to assemble it. First is the Stem, it has anchor holes where the branches are, all marked with letters. This is done so you don't put the wrong branch (which are also marked with letters) in the wrong anchor. While assembling it, I remember asking myself how on earth will this skinny looking tree come out full? Such is life, how can you and me who are skinny stems come out so full and awed at? But with time and effort, and a few mistakes here and there, the tree came out fine, then we added the Christmas decoration ornaments and lights and bam ! The tree was looking full and good. In our lives we may sometimes feel our efforts are never enough, our dreams and beliefs too skinny looking and underestimate ourselves. But like a Christmas tree after decorations, stand back take a full look at what you've accomplished. I promise, you will be wowed. I hope you had a full Christmas and hope you enjoy every minute this New Year has to offer. Happy New year
