Captured Life of Us

A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.

As long as you know men are like children, you know everything

Fashion fades, only style remains the same

There are people who have money and people who are rich

Socrate Said: "By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher...and that is a good thing for any man"

Good Bye Can never nice...

I had to say good bye to a very dear friend of mine... It is not forever, but rather for a while. We have been friends since Varsity and at first I thought saying good bye to him would be easy.... But when the sadness started filling my heart I knew...

But I am reminded Good Byes are never easy...

I also had the chance to say Hello too a new member to my life... Jaco's Future wife and I am so happy that they are getting Married. She brings balance to his life.... She is creative, humble and Loves him.... What more can you want for those you love.....

Saying Good Bye to Jaco made me realise that sometimes at the end of the rainbow there is a blessing. I have now gained a new Friend.

So Jacs my Friend Thank You for being such a Good Friend through all the years... You have been one of the people that has been a Blessing in my Life. Be Blessed and I will see you soon...

Today I took a trip to a place where there is no picket fences and beautiful houses filling the streets... I took a trip to a place where people live humble and the house is filled with love... It showed me once again that money buy a lot of things,but family and friendship is not one of them...
Remind yourself of these words I speak now: If I have nothing I still have Love....
We always complain about how we never have enough... that we always want more... But STOP and ask how much is enough? When will we be satisfied ?
I am not saying that it is wrong to want more... We must strife to do live better, but do we take a moment to stand and look around at what we have. Do we look at those things we bought we thought we couldn't live without?
I am guilty.... I don't take the time to look at the beautiful tea set in my cupboard I bought... or sitting down in those beautiful chairs I had made. I am always wanting more forgetting about those things that mean something to me.
I stepped…

While sorting through boxes I came across this letter hand written by my Grandmother. It made me smile and sad at the same time... Sad because I miss her terribly...

I couldn't help to smell the letter hoping that I would smell the perfume she wore: a sill reminder of something of her still present.... I would like to tell you that after 20 years the letter still smelled of her but it didn't.....

I thought I would share the letter:

"Hello Daaar Liewe Kinders & Kleingoed

Ag dis goed om van julle te hoor, en die foto is pragtig en dit laat my net meer verlang jong...

Wel ek sou nooit gedink het dat die vorige ou baas so 'n ding sal aanvang nie, maar toemaar die Here slaap nie. Hy sien alles raak.

Wel hier is dit nogal lekker warm en ag ek wens julle was hier want die vye boom dra so ons kan nie voorbly nie, en dad moet kou om voor te bly.

Oom John was ook sleg siek en het longontstekking gehad maar is nou beter.

Me ons gaan dit goed, dad het net van die trap af…

The Proverb that says what the heart is full of the mouth runs over with is so true....

What is on our hearts and minds will be streaming like rushing waters from our mouths. We need to listen closely what others are saying because those are the things consuming their thoughts.

If we speak angerly, our heart are consumed by bitterness, hate and fury... If it is gossip we are consumed by jealousy and snobbishness. We must closely listen to what we say because it will be a clear indication of what our heart and lives are filled with.

We must be more forgiving, compassionate, loving and humble.... there must never be a reason for these actions... they should come naturally and be part of our basic every day life....

My mind is wondering away from here.... My heart use to be an open door.... I am now longing to touch the purple sky..... I always believed that the years between 27 and 35 was suppose to be the best years of my life. I cry out to the Lord and ask what I did wrong.... Why do doors keep closing.? I remember I saw myself in a pond once.... What happened to me? What happened to Love....? I don't know why depression keeps sleeping at my heart's door. The fear grabs hold of my life and I feel like I can not breath.... My breath is taken away.... Bring me love and peace so I know I can say good bye... Lord give me Time to keep on trying... I know you understand why I feel like this.... Peace will settle in and I will once again learn how to crawl....
