It's relative

I’m guilty of ignoring some of my friends
I’ve given the excuse of being busy
So I’ve decided to make amends and get in touch with them
Actually what happened is that there’s one of my friends who manages to get us talking if we’ve been out of touch for a long time
She’s just adorable, she’s always been
From one point of view I’m on top of the world
From the other I should be in the dumps
Which view am I taking?
The 1st of course coz that’s what I see
The latter is what pple think I ought to be at
When I look at myself I’m proud I’ve come this far
I’ve been thru a lot
I’m grateful that the lot I’ve been thru I haven’t had to experience 1st hand half of it
I learn from others’ lives
I think that saves me a lot of stress
Pple will always talk and I discovered they actually stress over issues not theirs
Like right now there’re pple stressed at why I’m not getting married
M I stressed over it
Shucks!
Never been
The last time I nearly dropped a brow over that I pinched myself back to reality
I’ll get there if I’m meant to get there
Many ways to skin a cat
IF YOU’VE GOT TO SKIN IT AT ALL
So why do pple stress over other pple’s supposed issues?
Coz they want to come out as if they care
And also coz they need reassurance that their expectations are actually normal
What many pple don’t acknowledge is relativity
Life’s full of those
Say u’re a yellow rose
If u put yourself next to a red rose, u may seem a bit inferior
If u put yourself next to a sunflower, the odds still may be against u
If u put yourself next to a yellow daffodil…
Need I go on?
The point is u’re still a rose and whatever’s next to u doesn’t change u
It might make u feel better or bitter
But bottom line is u’re still u
So why worry?

e-mails

I just had to share this with you coz somehow I feel obligated to provide whoever does pass by here with something to smile about. I got this e-mail from a freind and it's kinda a reflection of what CAN happen with the many FWDs that people send all the time. I'll dig for the one which says why I don't forward chain letters. That one's very insightful and will put brakes on that impulse to hit the FWD button when you get an e-mail

"Results of My Last Year Sitting At The Computer

I must send my thanks to whoever sent me the one about poison in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet towel with every envelope that needs sealing.

Also, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.

I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl (Penny Brown) who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387,258th time.

I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program.

I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me, and St. Theresa's novena has granted my every wish.

I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.

Thanks to you, I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an email to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.

I no longer can buy gasoline without taking someone along to watch the car so a serial killer won't crawl into my back seat when I'm pumping gas.

And thanks for letting me know I can't boil a cup of water in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face, disfiguring me for life.

I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be nicked with a needle infected with AIDS.

I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.

I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore and Uzbekistan.

Thanks to you, I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a big brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant death when it bites me.

And thanks to your great advice, I can't ever pick up $5.00 in the parking lot because it probably was placed there by a molester waiting underneath my car to grab my leg.

I can no longer drive my car because I can't buy gas from certain gas companies!

If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhoea will land on your head at 5:00PM this afternoon and the fleas from 12 camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbour's ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin'sbeautician...

Have a wonderful day....

Oh, by the way.....

A South American scientist from Argentina, after a lengthy study, has discovered that people with insufficient brain activity read their email with their hand on the mouse.

Don't bother taking it off now; it's too late"

See?
Friendly e-mails do lift up one's mood at times or just make u smile.

Plans

There are a lot of things I’m wishing for right now
It’s one of those Fridays which feel like a Monday
The day’s taken its toll
I’ve lost touch with some friends this year
Not by choice, but I guess there’s a reason
I haven’t fulfilled some promises
I’m behind in what I’d planned to do
He he!
Planned?!
Now that’s a word
What I meant was hoped to do
But I’m satisfied with what I’ve achieved which I hadn’t even thought of
Actually I’m chaffed at my progress
One of these fine days I Guess I’ll lay it out in black & white
When I get the chance
Really, free time is far spaced these days

Fast Pace

Amazing that I've been on this post for 2 days straight & I still am not able to post properly
Been busy working
Yeah, of all things to do
Life's good
Really, it's good
Guilty of not being in touch with friends coz of work
M really trying to sort that out
Lot has happened
Summarised, it's life's good
I've managed to somehow get one more friend I can consider close
Don't have many of those actually
So that's a precious addition to my life
I'm being girlish, I know
That's just me
Lots of ups n downs
I thank God that the ups cancel the downs
Can't say I look forward to the weekend really coz all I'll get is one day's rest
Won't be working but lots to get up to
All the same
It's Friday
Yeah!!!
I amaze myself how I still mange to stand in this rush
Exhilarating really.
Blessed weekend.

Busy doing what?

Just wanted to pop around here and just leave a note to show that I'm still alive and kicking
Why?
Coz I've been busy
Noticed last blogged in Feb and even then it wasn't anything substantial coz it was just word trying to say something in a very small space of time
Quite like now, actually
So I’ve been busy
Busy doing what I ask myself even
Working
Yep
You know how it is
Stewardship is my kind of thing and here I am and I realise that there’s still an area lacking
So what will I do?
I’ll work on it fast
All I do I do as unto the Lord so when someone wants to take advantage, sometimes I don’t have a choice
Later.
