Value is a statement coming out of the depths of ones heart. It is a ‘map of a person’s view of the world’ (Covey 1990) and that shows a transparent heart. A completeness of self in the form of a gift. Yes, it is placing importance on our gifting. The word has meaning; it’s captivating and exemplifies the very nature of Christ. It is a revelational 21st Century word only existing in the form of purity.

New Year Resolutions?!? I don’t know how many I have made and kept in my lifetime. Its funny though how I always seem nostalgic on the last day of the year, yeah I know its my birthday and I feel I am getting older but I reflect on what has happen through out the year and I think I have survived another one. I miss being a little girl with absolutely no problems or care in the world. As I get older I worry about my health. They say that you never find yourself until you face the truth. I remember having lunch with my girls and when Mwansa dropping the bombshell that she had found a bean-sized lump in her left breast but because of the fear factor, she chose to ignore it. But as it became more painful, she decided to have it checked out. Her biopsy confirmed that it was cancer. She has been through a lot. I now find myself checking my breasts everyday single day. Any little pain I have I go to see my GP. Call it paranoia but it has really given me a wake up call. |

Smile! It's a brand new day in a new month, a new year. But you can't tell by looking around, by the appearance of things because everything appears to be the same as yesterday, yester-year.
I'm hearing sounds
But are my ears deceiving me?
I hear raindrops
When the skies are clear blue

Dear Diary,
I have never understood why the powers that be – or were in this case – decided to bunch up the Christmas and New Year holidays. It is all just too much! The season in which all the rules of respectable life and living can be bent and broken like that for so long has got to be wrong! Either that, or my stretch of sexual and alcoholic abstinence is beginning to rot my brain and I can’t seem to appreciate the holiday like I used to!

It's four in the morning and I can't sleep. I will never understand why it is that, when one thing goes wrong, everything else seems to follow. Everything seems to be falling apart. Sometimes I feel so bad, sometimes I feel so sad and I don't even know when I am going to get over it. But it still hurts like it was only yesterday. Sometimes when something good happens I run to the phone to call him, and then I remember and it all comes flowing back and I feel that worthlessness. I have never been the kind of person who lets life gets to her but lately; I have had so much stuff in my mind that I can't take it anymore. I know that there comes a time in everyone's life when one is faced with loss, heartbreak, death, trauma and the sheer agony of the ebb and flow of life but when it does happen to you, it just seems so unreal. |
