Hi there. I have to say I’m really proud of myself – making sure I write in here everyday. Well at least I try to.

People In Our Life

During my second month of school, our professor gave us a pop quiz.

I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last one: “What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?”

Surely, this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank.

Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade.

“Absolutely,” said the professor. “In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say ‘hello’.”

I’ve never forgotten that lesson. I also spoke to her, learned her name and said Thanks!

Love,

Thankful

Hi there. This week I am thankful for:

GOD

Matthew 6:33-34

³³But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

³⁴Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Love,

Hi there. September is here. I can’t believe it. Time fly’s by so quickly. Well it’s almost Fall. When I think of September I think of fall. So I’m going to lie to myself and pretend it’s still ‘summer’. We’ve been having some humid weather here in Toronto so it is- what it is.

This post was inspired by Twitter – #SeptemberWishes . However this post is to basically remind myself the changes that have happened so quickly in a month. I’m not going to take all the skeletons’ out of my closet. However I will post a few:

1. Finding out who your real friends are – and confront those that have an issue with you. I was able to confront a few people, and I felt proud of myself. I’m never going to sit back and wait…for things to just smooth over. I think it’s childish to play these little high school games. I’m an adult. I’ve grown up…and I can’t believe how many people have yet to face the real world.
2. Acceptation – accepting life for what it is. I can only do so much and then I leave the rest in God’s hands.
3. Growing up – Growing up means facing reality. The only way I can get to where I need to be is on my own. *I knew this since time – but the struggles I’ve gone through in August have pushed me to remember this*.
4. Knowing my own worth – I love myself. We are all gifts from God. We all are unique and we should embrace ourselves and our abilities and help those out there in the world. Just saying, “Good morning” to someone walking by in the morning can change your world and theirs. Doing more and learning more doesn’t hurt.
5. Making sure to find personal time – Just staying at home and watching movies is bliss. Just being by  myself helps me find myself. Also hanging out with real friends who I actually care about and I would hope care about me.

Sometimes I sit back and I ask myself and God – why are people like this? Why is the world so selfish? How can people treat others that way? The list is never ending with rhetorical questions it seems. But such is life.

Love,

Poem: September Changes

September is like no other
It’s days change color and weather
No other month can say quite the same
For every day, I can feel the change

It’s cool breezes start out warm,
Changing to cold throughout every storm
The leaves change and fall
As the Summer leaves and Autumn kisses us all

September maidens feel the change
Like the blue of the sky
Yet the color so deep
Unbelievable beauty

Maidens fall throughout and watch
Each raindropp changing through colors so fast
Yet one streak remains the same
Of that wonderful sapphire rain.

September, unlike any other
Holds you tight, in any weather.
Changes come, no matter where you go

North and you’ll get stormy snow
South and feel the heat of summer coming
September does this, no matter what.
Change lives within, Nothing to stop

September is beautiful
And awesome all the same
It’s hope for the future and the change
Comes swiftly as we sweep away

The Summer ends and the Autumn begins
Change is all around
With one maiden leaving
And yet, another comes

Born into the world
Of wonderful September
The sapphire skies live on
Through out this wonderful September

So it’s Weekly Wednesday – iPhone App Day bringing you the latest app that has been clicked on my iPhone!

This week. App of the week goes to TwitBird PRO

TwitBird Pro – Probably the best Twitter App. I said goodbye to TwitterFon because it went downhill. Ads and wasn’t user friendly with no landscape. I replaced it with Tweetie. which was a free application at the time. Then the company renamed it to TwitBird. TwitBird has provided it’s loyal users with a free upgrade a couple of years ago. And now we get the FULL version for free while others have to pay for the app. I’m very content.

TwitBird has landscape features, trends, etc…just amazing and simple and classy to use! This is a MUST Twitter App if you like to tweet like me. This will probably be the only Twitter App I’ll ever use.

Love,
