almost their

As a new week lie in wakening.It brings with it more uncertainties and many happy moments hopefully.I reflect on a month gone by,in wich we all exected so much more.I for starters hoped for warmer weather than,the floods and cold,and hail-storms wev'e been experiencing lately.The seasons can be a real test of charachter.Like life we are more often than not supprised by what we get along the way.Iv'e lately come to reallise,that one at the age of 30 years and older,tend to think more about, the future your kids will have if you pass on.No im planning on drawing up a bucket-list,just yet.I just need to know my family will be well taken care of when i go into "that good night".It leaves me with cold sweat thinking i wont  be around,to see all of them happy and taken care of forever,for that i'll have to live to be a 100.Suddenly i've learned to appreciate life so much more,i've reallised that,nothing in life last forever and no -one  is immortal,even we live like it most of the time.Our country is still the rainbow it was intended to be,sure we've hit a bad patch enroute that dream,of living in  a peacefull country for all,with no poverty and crime,but we're pretty damn close.If everything is temporary,as has been proved,in the past lifetime,than this bad,that has pleagued our democracy is bound to end very soon.

LIFES SUMMERS

Living is always better when its summer,isn't it?I just love the beautifull sunshine and cool evening breezes.So i always feel that,that warmth is transpiring,through to our lives cause we are always happier in summer.It takes me back to my first summer love.We would spend days on end just talking and starring at one another.She'd be the first one think about in the mornings.Isn't it just wonderfull how summer romances never last?Well two decades on and im bracing myself to give to give advice to my teenage boy on romance.Romance is to me the fuel that keeps the vehicle called "Life'running and heartbreak is the compasse that gives it direction.I remember a time when i thought is this thing called love not just an elution as so often eluted to.Does there always have to be a reason why get hurt and hurt people in return.Just as decided to settle down and be with someone that  felt right but i didn't love came my angel send from above.Than all made sense had i not go through all the pain and heart-ache,i'd never have found what i was looking for.So even in the darkerst of days,i keep faith that this is preparing me for my ultimate happyness which is always closer than it seems.

life is good even when bad

So its been a tough week personally.So much to cope with and just no time to scrutinize every situation.I reached a stage where i just wanted to quit.Then i thought of all the comrades that fought for our freedom,that we can not surrender to life's curveballs,but persue the challenges with dignity.I prayed and found renewed spiritual energy.For when times are tough where else will we find strenght to continue?Why did i wanne give up?Well just thought about the state of our country and the prospects of a better country in the very forseeable future.I contemplated where im heading personally,what are my career ambitions,and how much have i achieved so far(if anything).The thuoghts of  my child's education parilysed my thuoghts completely,where will i get the money to send him to world class university for a better life.I thought am i living the rainbow dream-dream Tata Madiba sacrificed his life for?Why are we so taking our freedom for granted,how come we just give up when the going gets tough,but surrender so esy to impediments?Then GOD made me see that he has a plan for all of us,all we need to do is not give up and keep at it,He'll do the rest.

warmer days or not

As a new mont and indeed new season grows upon us,we are hopefull that this will be the season of sunshine.That idea was put to bed fast by the petrol-price increasing,the continious strike in the mining sector,the latest unemployment figures(increasing),our president spending 200-million on his house in Qanda, all being said the rainbow of hope is still parading in our hearts.What is happening in our labour force!All of a sudden employers are awstruck by all the sudden strikes even though it is striking season.Workers just cant cope with the escalating food prices and constant fuel-hikes.Yet it profits no one when the countries  economy is brought to its knees by non-production.Why play hardball when everyone is losing on the long term?Can't everyone take a leave from our sporting heroes;the proteas only strike(choke)at big tournements and only for that period not longer,while bafana would love to strike but cant.Even our beleagered   Mr Juluis "cant die" Malema are feeling the heat of this new season,he is standing trail atlast for money-laundering.Even with all happening our beatifull country is shining on.
