The Best Is Yet to Come!!

2010!!! I have sure been away for a while and boy has things changed in my life. I am now working at a Bank, I am currently the VP Education for my toastmasters group and I am really looking forward to being the next president. I have increased my network of friends and I am following my goal to read 1 book per week.

I love my life and at this moment I am happy. 2010 will be my best year ever!!!!

With YOU .... I'm The Best ME!!!

Without you I'll have no roses , no lilies, tulips or carnations 

Without you I'll have no music, no reggae's, discos or steel pans 

Without you I'll have no Red wine, no Alizers or Baileys 

Without you I'll have no lobsters, no sirloin or exotic pastries 

Without you there's no reasoning, of how great my life can be 

Without you there's no hope of the lovely future, you made me see 

Without you I would be a zombie, not knowing what I am capable of 

Without you I would still be complaining ........ "Oh Lord this life is tough" 

With you I am ever learning, how to be a better person 

With you I see the joy in doing good, for absolutely no reason 

With you there's no complaining or criticizing ever 

With you in my life, only the good seems to matter 

With you I am forever singing, of a love I never knew 

With you I know what it means, to be happy, forgiving and true 

With you I find contentment, just by being in your arms 

With you I feel totally safe and nothing could bring me harm 

With you I know now, that I was meant to be 

With you I'll be forever, happy, relaxed and free 

Without you, is a thing of the past .... for 

Without you this poem would be a Farce!

UNFORGETTABLE!!

After a really great week, I ended up in the hospital. How did that happen? I am still wondering. I spent three days there but would have a lifetime to forget the love and warmth that was shown to me by my family and friends. Everyone was great! Friends I haven't spoken to in a long time called or visited and by their actions I was extremely moved. I even got a visit from someone I rarely got along with. (Maybe she thought I was dying)

Now at home, I look at some of the things I spent time grieving about (sweating the small stuff), instead of living my life. Too many times I bellyache about situations that, at times, didn't even existed. Wasting precious time arguing with my friends instead of just saying I'm sorry. Time that could have been spent with my husband and kids. Time that should have been allocated to my studies. Time lost.

We've always heard "Don't put off for tomorrow what you can do today", however I prefer the bigger picture which says "Do today what others don't, to have tomorrow what others won't". Time is precious, don't waste it . I INTEND TO ENJOY EVERY SECOND OF MINE!!

True Friends are Earthly Angels

I had a wonderful telephone call today. My dearest friend called to say I was forgiven. Such Blissful words to my ear. I am very grateful to be forgiven and will endeavour to do my best to ensure that I keep this friendship and all my friendships true and in the green. It is so simple, according to my grandmother, honesty is the best policy.

A Lesson Learnt!!

Trust & Friendship

Have you ever said something to a friend, trying to guard them but ends up hurting them and your friendship ever more? I did that today to one of my best friends. To make matters worse it was about trust and we know how fickle trust is. My friendship is really in the red with this person and may be heading for bankruptcy. I am truly sorry but the damage is already done. I am not sure I can make it right again cause this is not the first incident of this kind but this is the worst. I take the blame for everything and hope that I would be forgiven. I truly hope I can save that friendship.

My advice is,
Speak the truth and speak it ever
Cause it what it will
He who hides the wrong he did
Does the wrong thing still

Friendships are treasures, keep your friendship bank in the green.

One Of Those Days!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, what a wonderful wonderful day, a day I would never forget!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I woke up early this morning and went online where I met a dear friend. We chatted for a while then I wrote my first blog. I then spoke to a long lost friend, whom I haven't heard from in ages, and was reminded of how wonderful life can, be if we only choose to make it that way.

I attended classes in a really great mood and found it more stimulating that usual. I left a bit early to attend my Toastmasters meeting. The meeting was enlightening! I felt warm,ed loved and happy. This was my second family, the family I enjoyed being with. The family I have been neglecting recently. Today rekindled the bonds and that old feeling of love was back and I know its back to stay.

The cherry on my day was getting my package from England (re CAT/ACCA registration). What I read excited me. I was accepted of course but for the ACCA program and not the CAT program I originally applied for. I am accepted in the Mature Student Entry Route (MSER). I really had no idea I was qualified in any way. Now I know. This was EXCELLENT!!

I AM IN A STATE OF EUPHORIA!!!
