April

The month of April has finally started, a month of bubbly excitement and enthusiasm, a month I've always been crazy in love with since I was a child. 

Almost 30 years ago, some time around now, my parent were excited as well. They were excited about the birth of their first born. Will it be a boy or girl, will he/she be healthy, or happy. Who would  he/she look like, how would  he/she do in school? when he/she is an adult what would  he/she be? Will he/she be successful in life?

Then, on that glorious Wednesday morning, almost thirty year ago, they had ME!!!! A beautiful baby girl with big eyes like my mom. (I LOVE my parents soooo much)

They had all the trials and errors of a first born with me, the ups and downs, the fun memories and the sad times. And guess what? For the first born, I turned out damn fine, I'm happy, healthy and got my my head in the right game.

This year is my big "three O", I'm very excited, I feel like I'm becoming a new person. I would no longer be a girl or lady, I would become a woman. (Everyone I tell this laughs at me, but that's how I feel, I feel as if I'm changing, as if I've matured...lol)

I don't think I ever been this excited about a birthday. It's going to be the BEST ever. And me being the planner I am, means I have already bombarded my family and friends with party ideas (where, who, how, why), given instructions, bullied them for suggestions, issued threats, etc...the full nine yards. (I'm 99.1% sure of what I'll be doing)

This year is gonna be GREAT!!!! Can't wait to share it with you guys.

Were you this excited about your thirtieth birthday? Or are you going to be?


Much love,

Two Simple Words

Thank You!!!

These are two very simple words, but they mean a lot. Growing up,  saying thank you, please, may I, good morning, good evening, etc... Were some of the words our parents taught us. These were to groom us to become respectful, well mannered adults.

But for some reason as we grow old we forget how important these simple words are.

Gratitude demonstrates an appreciation for the kindness, benefits you have received, all the simple pleasures you were afforded in your life.

We tend to take for granted many things in our lives, our co-worker, our friends and mostly our families. The people that help make our days go by easier, persons who offer a shoulder to lean on and kind words.

This year I've made it a goal to be more grateful.

~ Thank You Mom & Dad for all the values you instilled in me and the support you give to me.

~ Thank You to my sibling who have given me fun times, straight talk and a whole lot of annoyance (love you guys).

~ Thank You to my 'Mr.' for the experiences he have given to me, the good times and the bad.

~ Thank You to all my friends who have been there in my times of need and and times of joy.

~ Thank you to my co-workers, taxi drivers, canteen staff and all the other people who I interact with on a daily basis, you guys make my day go by easier.

~ Thank You Lord for LIFE!!!

Do you demonstrate gratitude? What are you thankful for?

Mcuh love,
