I See, I do

Growing up

It was a bright promising morning,the skies were clear the smell of pancakes filtered into my room . i knew it had to be a Saturday as mum always prepared her special pancakes for breakfast.

I jumped out of bed and this time, i did not need my sisters to wake me up.... i was so hungry and i  was ready for the day!!!          

I watched my mum as she served the breakfast and i said " Mum, how did you become successful?"

She looked at me ,stopped what she was doing and came to me where i was standing by the door.

"your gran was like that too," she said as she knelt down to my eye level, " hard work keeps you young and alive".hmmmm... i thought about that all morning as i enjoyed my pancakes at the table.

My brothers were a bit worried as i was noticeably quiet. Mum told them not to worry as she knew she had struck a chord inside me !!!

I made up my mind i was going to be successful at whatever i do when i grew up..... and i did !!!!!!
