Thank You, Lord for my family, I am grateful for a good husband and wonderful children (my own and his, not forgetting my granddaughters).

#3 My senses

Thank You, Lord for all my sense, I can see, I can smell, I can hear and taste.  Awesome without them; my life would be miserable.

Thank You, Lord for all my friends, abroad and here in South Africa.  I am so happy that I may connect with good friends and enjoy good laughs.  Thank you, all my friends for reading my blog.

#5  My material belongings

Thank You, Lord for all that You have provided me with, I know I seem ungrateful many times but today I do want to say thank You.

God has blessed my life with great family and good friends.  Bless each one today and may you all enjoy your thanksgiving with the Lord's mercy and favor.


Zephaniah 3: 17  "The Lord your God is in your midst.  The Mighty One, who will save;  He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing."

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...
