I went to the bank to carry out some transactions, but the journey was not as smooth as I had hoped. On getting to a particular bus stop where I was to board a bus going to the bank, I heard people complaining about heavy traffic. I later discovered that the road was under construction, which was the major cause of the traffic jam.

Hoping to avoid the congestion, I decided to take an inner route, thinking it would be faster. Unfortunately, I still met traffic along that road, but somehow, we managed to get to the bank.

After I finished my transactions, I stood for a moment wondering which route to take back home to avoid the traffic. I decided to try the main road, hoping that by then it would have cleared, especially since the inner roads were already congested. To my greatest surprise, everywhere was still heavily blocked.

I became confused about what to do next, I approached a food vendor at the bus stop and asked her for advice. Since she spends most of her time there, I believe she would understand the traffic situation better. She responded in a funny way, asking if I had exercised for the day. When I said no, she suggested that I take a walk and consider it my exercise for the day because the distance was far 🤣🤣🤣.

Without hesitation, I thanked her and decided to follow her advice. I walked from one bus stop to the next, I noticed that the vehicles had barely moved. By the time I got to the sixth bus stop, I discovered that a large lorry had broken down on the road. This only added to the existing traffic caused by the road construction, making it even more difficult for vehicles to move.

As I walked past the sixth bus stop where the lorry had broken down, I noticed that the road was clear from that point. Without wasting time, I boarded a bus heading straight home. I felt happy, fulfilled and energized.

I had been busy with other activities earlier in the day and had not made out time to exercise. I was truly glad I listened to the food vendor's advice and turn my inconveniences or will I say stressful situation into an opportunity for exercise.

Thanks you all for stopping by @sarahbaby blog. I really appreciate your time.
