Hey Hey..
How are we all doing?
Caught the Merriment bug yet?
When i was younger 3 things got me excited around this period
1. Close of school
2. Traveling home to Okrika ...by boat!
3. Seeing all my cousins and the numerous things we would get up to doing.
Well, now no more school hols to look forward to.

Happy new month shugars!!
It's December!!
Feel my excitement?
December always does that to me. No matter how far I've been from my goals for the year , or how crappy I feel the year might have been, something about sniffing the 'December air' takes me to a happy place.
A happy place.
A thankful place.
A thankful heart.

Sorry guys.
So back to our tale.

I came up to see the parents 'from the dead'.
The couple came with the wife's sister.
Without asking any questions initially I needed no one telling me they were her parents.
The girl was a replica of her mum.

The gist sounded 'one kind' so I told her to chill, lemmi come meet them and hear it well.

It's so easy to belittle some BIG blessings.
I have being guilty.
Most times we don't know they are blessings until we loose them.
We just regard them as the lil things.
It's normal to first remember and be thankful for the big things,but be thankful also for the seemingly little things.

Hard core granite wall
High like the proverbial tree

Jumping on it...
Some try shouting at it..

Like the walls of Jericho
Most claim they are shot down
By fiery eye darts

Some don't bother climbing

THE LORD HAS BEEN GOOD TO ME!!

There has been a renewed love for some things lately for me. I say renewed 'cos I've kinda always liked or loved them but am putting more effort into them lately.
Some were abandoned outta lack of time to explore them, some outta sheer laziness and procrastination.

I was listening to a program on radio recently ( it was on handling rejections and moving past hurts) and the guest made a statement that caught me.
She said : if you hold someone down to the ground and don't let the person go,you are actually also holding yourself down.

Yesterday was the beginning of a new month. I was pretty excited.
A new month.
A new week.
The beginning of the second half of the year.
And it was the end of the light of a colleague,an ex classmate.
Soft spoken, nice, gentle, really friendly..
Always had a smile and a laugh -in - waiting.

I really don't do favorites.

Some have got favorite book, music, brand, movie and even pen! Oh yes,pen! I had a classmate who would write with only the Schneider pen.
Some have favorites but are not extremist with it. By extremist I mean if their favorite item or brand or stuff isn't there, their life goes on pause for a while or they would have a mini meltdown.&001http://www.blogger.com/profile/17880087208391938035noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24884449960566197.post-30263517434599609742015-06-16T20:59:00.001+01:002015-06-16T20:59:26.469+01:00Our Bond
