Suddenly, everything seems worthwhile...

-
Today I received a belated birthday gift. In the gift bag were three items, but there is one that stood out. It was a book mark with the following words written on them:

‘You are an amazing lady
I want you to know that you’re one amazing lady.
You are so good to the people in your life –
So considerate and caring.
When you give, it’s easy to see that it comes straight from the heart…
And it gives everyone around you the gift of a nicer world to live in.
I hope you’ll never forget how much I treasure just being in this world with you.
I really hope that all your days are as beautiful and as bright…
As the ones you inspire in other people’s lives.’

And then suddenly, everything seems so worthwhile. All the bad days are forgotten. All the lows are washed away.  I feel appreciated.
Someone treasures being in this world with me. With me. Not someone with fame and riches, but me. My heart smiles because of this.

I feel inspired, simply because I have inspired someone else.
Suddenly, everything seems worthwhile.


Take Care

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...

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...

The Abyss

-
 I sunk.  I sunk into a dark abyss.  No hope.  No light.  Nothing good in sight.  So I simply shrugged my shoulders, exhaled and allowed myself to be drawn into this darkness. Making no effort to pull myself out. Making no effort to seek light. Making no effort to crawl out . I simply sat. I sat and never wanted to leave. The darkness provided comfort. It was the kind of solace my aching heart sought after. But it was also the kind of solace that could consume you. Leave you wanting... But still I continued to sink. I continued sinking into this abyss. I somehow enjoyed the dark, vacant atmosphere provided by this chasm. And I did not want to leave. I could not leave.  At some point, the comfort enveloped me and the warmth became too much. It was no longer a feeling that was welcome. It smothered me. It choked me. I found myself gasping for air. Clenching onto dear life. Yet, although I seemed to be smothering, I could not move. I sat in the darkness. ...
