151213

And so the New Year begins

Every year I wait to feel differently on my birthday and I don’t

I stay up till the clock says 12:30am just to sense something new and I don’t

Am I meant to feel older, happier, sober…I don’t know

Am I meant to cry, laugh…I don’t know

One thing I never fail to do is pray and pray some more

I’m grateful for a good life, wait a minute it is more

I have had a great life and some more

And so I give thanks and pledge to live my life for Him and man

It’s not as smooth as it sounds but this is how grace is made

I wait and see and the Lord is good one more year and always

I may feel nothing, but I know one thing as always

Goodness and mercy are my peeps all the days of my life

Because He says so and holds my life

So I am ecstatic at the prospects of the New Year

And now I am expectant

Because it holds more beauties than the last year.

It is 151214!

Please indulge me...

And so it comes again, that date that tells me I have spent another year on earth. I'm excited but pensive as I think of living and living purposefully, counting my days and hoping they count.

I think of all I want for gifts; an iPad mini, a new blackberry (I haven't gotten the android fever just yet except its a galaxy note 3 lol), a new wardrobe, stuff for my place, cash for fuel, rent and jollification, a trip to Tinapa, no debts...etcetera, yes the list is endless...




But 1 thing I'm sure of is that I would love everyone I know to do some good in my name on Sunday, the 15th (my birth date). Just be a blessing to someone and say a prayer for me and that would make my year. And share the experience with me afterwards.



Love is the greatest gift, join me and show some on my day.

God honour you....thank you!

ADORN ME BEAUTIFUL

It twinkled and caught my eye, I turned and walked towards where I thought it came from and shortly after I was standing beside the most exquisite piece of jewelry I had yet to see. And of course as you may be wondering I picked them up gingerly, smiling like a 3 year old with her brand new doll and I walked over to the cashiers and paid for them. They were earrings shaped as a Christmas bouquet with tiny studs and the bow. I treasured them until they mysteriously disappeared from my collection. Needless to say, I loved them not because they cost me more than they should have considering where I bought them but because they were beautiful and I thought they suited me well.

THE OTHER SIDE

Something in every human being likes to make a big deal out of little things. Somehow we manage to get infuriated at seemingly ignoble things. That’s the only reason for the statement; “patience is a virtue” if it wasn't so hard to get it wouldn't have its own cliche. It would have been a regular human characteristic like “anger”. Everyone gets angry for some reason or the other. While some of us, a small percentage, I must say, seek the virtue patience, a larger majority pride themselves in their ability to get angry and to sustain their anger for weeks on end.

I've heard people say things like; “don’t let me show you my true color” or “if I turn my other side” or “you wouldn't like to see the real me oh” or “let me not turn my red eye”. Seriously, we have psychos walking along the streets! This is a cause for alarm! Why would anyone proudly claim to be schizophrenic? All the aforementioned statements point to the fact that there may exist another man in the speaker. Or, that we most of the time deal with only one half of a person and the second half is waiting to be aroused to action by an offensive act.

#Choices

I am facing one of those decisions that are life defining and would definitely have a resonating effect on everything and everyone around me. It’s one of the "do or die" times I must encounter in my life time. And in making a choice I realized my musings were, emotional, rational and factual, basically. It was about what I could feel, reason out and see...my senses were (are still since I'm still in a limbo) on full alert.
