WORRY LESS

Am I still beautiful like I use to be?

Are there lines decorating my being?

Will I stay pretty like a pod still holding its pea?

or wither away trying to find meaning?

Handsome it is I use to be called.

My personality in life is unequaled,

but at years after years get installed

will I wither away trying to be restored

Women and men worry a lot.

Here and there planning a plot,

to give life all they got.

In exchange for just a shot

Just know that

Worry does not do a good thing

but to persist with an effort to cling

and when we give it a wing

it establishes control as a king

"Time itself"

 

I have no time for that,

Time is running fast,

Time is money,

Time waits for no one,

Lost time is never found again,

Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend,

Time is the wisest counselor of all.

These words I have heard times without number,

but what exactly is time?

 I have been faced with the reality of dealing with "time itself", feeling like 24 hours a day is not enough to work with. Always busy doing one thing or the other from morning till night. Running against time itself or as I say, running after time itself.

Are we ever going to catch up with it (time), it seem faster than we anticipate, propelling us to run forward and towards our goals, which eventually leads us either to achieving those goal or just getting old while we are at it, because time does not wait.

"Time itself”, does not slow down.  So, what will it take for human race to slow down a bit, take in deep breath, enjoy the scenery, knowing fully well that we are made not to control time but to aim and achieve goals while flowing with time itself.

I love me part 2

...............Are we there yet mama? 

Turn to your right mama, and here we are, she screams with joy. 

Okay baby, just calm down and let me make the order. I said.

Hello, 1 small vanilla ice cream, please.

Is that all madam, the cashier asked? yes, that's all for today, thanks.

Mama you were supposed to buy mine, why don't we buy three, J Joanne suggested. So that I can surprise my brothers with a gift of ice cream, and I know that will make them happy too.

Well, you sure know your brothers will ask for theirs when they see yours, you have a good idea, let's give them a surprise.

Thanks, J for being so nice, caring, and always wanting to share. I said, giving her a high five.

So, the journey home began, with J Joanne slushing away at the vanilla ice cream

What to do about covid-19 and schooling

Lets start with a question today, which can help us to start a discussion. some of us are scared, confused and just wondering what to do with regards to kids going back to school. well, here is talk about it, you might be helping someone out without knowing.

What are your plans like with getting through this school year, amidst the covid-19 pandemic?

Be Encouraged

Okay, i don't have to really think that deep before i know what i want to blog about today. Have you ever woken up and had those feeling of: hmm today is really going to be a hectic day and you started bracing yourself for what ever will come. Well that was the type of day i had yesterday.

I woke up feeling really tired even though i have been sleeping for like six hours( actually maybe less because i have a six months old). I managed to drag myself up from the bed to get my son ready for school and i  just made sure i went through the whole day not feeling like myself. I had to continue attending to my kids despite the fact that i myself needs attention. my priority those moments are my kids

Enough of my story, what i am driving at is that, as parents, no mater how you feel, the little kids that we have do not stop demanding your attention or what they need from you. and its not really easy especially if you have more than one like myself.

And that is where self encouragement comes in, for that fact that no one is around to be a source of energy, that is the more reason why you should push on, encouraging and believing in yourself every step of the way.

 Its actually easy for others to give you words of encouragement at the moment that you need it without checking back to see how you actually did. but if you are the one guiding yourself on, at the end of it all when you realized that you have scaled through, you will be able to give yourself a pat on the back because you understand where you are coming from.

likewise we should apply this type of method not only to taking care of our kids or doing house chores but to those big projects that you have to face and accomplish during your down times.
Always remember that down times are not forever, its just but for a moment.
