Reunited

-
Today I had a past pupils reunion at my Alma Mater. It was good seeing all the faces from the past. I was excited to hear about their lives and their stories. Being reunited with old friends was comforting. It brought me joy. Reunited.

Sometimes we drift away from people. People who were significant to us at some point. People who meant something to us. People who made us happy. Life happens and we drift away from these people, not because they did something or we pushed them away, but because life happened.

People enter our lives for a reason. To teach us something, to learn from them, to take the lesson from them and move on. Do not be angry when these people leave. They have taught you what they needed to and their time in your life has expired. Learn and move on. Do not hold grudges or be bitter, there is still too much to be enjoyed. These people were significant at some point, yes, but their light has faded. So there might be no chance of a reunion taking place, but there is still much to look forward to. So allow them to leave without having any ill feelings towards them.

Then there are some people who have always been around but were hiding in the shadows. Waiting for their time to shine. Waiting for the chance to experience things with you. To teach and to learn from you. These people who have always been around and have never asked for much. They just want to share in your joy and help lessen the pain. These are the people who are considered the keepers. The ones who never expect much,but are always willing to give. These are the people who we should appreciate.

A reunion can be bitter sweet. Sometimes we realize that there is no room for some people in our lives. Other times we realize we need some more than ever. Remember, whichever one it is, we need to accept it. Embrace it. Live with it.

Always remember to learn the lesson and move on. Time waits for no man. Life goes on.

Today, my inspiration came from the kind of bonds that withstand the test of time. Those that do not change with distance, space or time. Today, I was inspired by life long bonds. I was reunited with old friends today and it felt so good.

Take care of one another. Take care of your unions.

What Susie says about Sally...

‘What Susie says about Sally, says a lot more about Susie than it says about Sally.’ I came across this and thought it would be a sin not to post this. I know I have written about this before but I thought I should say something about it again. How quick are we to judge others? It really takes nothing nowadays for someone to say something bad about someone else. It has become almost second nature to open our mouths and to spread a story about someone else. In most cases, it does not even concern us at all. We spend way too much time concerned with the lives of others when we should be focused on making our own lives better. And it is true, what you say about someone else really does say more about you than it does about them. If you make it a habit of spreading stories, lies, rumours, whatever it may be, soon, you will have a reputation. And no one will believe you when you bad mouth others, because they already know that you have a reputation of doing so. The bottom line is t...

The clouds will fade...

I love rainy days. Days like today. I love them. The air seems so much cleaner. I inhale it and I feel alive. I feel alive. Rain has a cleansing effect. It falls down to the Earth and wipes all the dirt away. It penetrates the ground and works its way through every soil granule and blade of grass it can find. It leaves its mark on everything it touches. It cleanses. And then, it makes way for growth. That is what rain does. It touches the Earth and makes flowers grow, it makes grass green, and it nourishes and feeds so that growth can take place. And after the rain has stopped, the dark clouds that once threatened are gone, and it leaves us with a beautiful rainbow and the sun that eventually makes its way through the clouds. After the rain, growth takes place and the sun does eventually shine again. And in our lives, it works basically the same way. The dark clouds arise in the form of our problem and obstacles, chasing the sun away. They chase our joy away. They hover in our s...

They Chose My Womb

-
I often wondered if it would ever happen for me… I often wondered if having life growing inside    me would be something I would experience too.  You know how those thoughts of doom and gloom enter your mind and try to convince you that it is merely something you will witness and never have the pleasure of experiencing first hand. And as the years rolled by, those thoughts grew and gained strength.  I had often obsessed over it. Pretended not to be bothered, but secretly obsessing over it. Until it consumed me.  When I lost my Father and my best friend, the obsession grew. Almost as though I were trying to replace these two lives I lost with another. But continuously, I was disappointed. And so the thoughts grew. The thoughts became stronger and more prominent.  I didn’t know how to wait on God’s timing anymore, and frankly, I didn’t know if I wanted to. I became selfish and trusted Him less, although I still prayed for some kind of miracle. Which sounds we...
