Priceless!

I've been awfully quiet the past couple of weeks. One of my reasons is that I was just lazy but the other reason is that was sick literally for almost a week. I eventually ended up at the doc on Tuesday and he diagnosed me with having something called upper respiratory infection. It might not sound bad but boy did it feel bad. Contrary to popular belief, somehow people seemed to think I was pregnant. I had sleepless nights, a high fever that just wouldn't go away, no appetite, aching body and a tight chest. Today is the first time I'm out of bed and feeling human again. It was dreadful but I thank all of you that kept me in your prayers because that's what pulled me through. My hubby was an absolute star in all of this, don't know what I'd do without him.

Women know your worth

Women have strengths that amaze men. They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry.

They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous. They fight for what they believe in. They stand up to injustice.

They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without so their family can have. They go to the doctor with a frightened friend. They love unconditionally. They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding. Their hearts break when a friend dies. They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart. Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors. They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. They bring joy, hope and love. They have the compassion and ideas. They give moral support to their family and friends.

Women have vital things to say and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

Nieces and Nephews

I love being an aunt because it brings out the motherly instinct in me and I get to hand them over to their parents when I get tired of them. They occasionally sleep over and it's always so much fun. I treasure each and every one of them.

These funny faces are my nieces and nephews. From top to bottom is Mariam, Aiden, Sarah-ann, Chloe, Hannah and Caleb. Not forgetting Reece and Alex which I unfortunately don't have pics of. They so adorable, I just had to share this with you.

Hi all.

Hope you had a great weekend like myself and is ready to start another week. Here's something just to give you a boost.

The trainer takes a baby elephant and ties him to a stake with a big, heavy chain. The elephant pulls & tugs but he can't break the chain. Eventually he stops trying. He is now a six-ton elephant with the circus. He could easily pull the entire stake out of the ground-plus the stage- but he doesn't even try. Consider how the elephant's story relates to your career experience. Never assume the doors that were once closed are still closed! Ask again! Move beyond assumed constraints to reach your goals today!!! The chains are off....

Have a wonderful Monday!

Because of you

My feet run because of you.

My feet dance because of you.

My heart beats because of you.

My eyes see because of you.

My mind thinks because of you.

And I love because of you.
