LESSON 12 - Be the better you and reap the reward!

We often come across situations where we do not know whether to be good to a person or just dismiss them with a nasty comment (only when they deserve it ofcos). I am talking about a particular occasion where we bump into those kinda people who enjoy commenting about others and end up insulting you.
Nobody likes being insulted and usually thats what happens when you are over popular or just plain good to everybody.

We get two types of people in society.
The one side we have the quiet, modest , kind people who do care about others but do not pry in their business


Then we have the other kind who think they are doing good to society by belittling others in any and every way they can.
I mean come on now!!! What joy that could possibly bring?! Are people so bored with their lives that they have to pick on others just so they can feel good about themselves?!

I am not saying that I am the best pick in the hay stack but I sure do know that by making another person feel bad, doesnt make me feel good at all.

The big question is, how do you react to somebody being directly nasty to you or even behind your back.

BASIC TRUTH - Be extra nice to them. It does not hurt to be nice to others, it hurts living with the thought that you hurt somebody.

Few Pic's on the drive to Weenen

We really wanted to see some animals on the way to Weenen but unfortunately only the goats and cows came out to play.

We usually get to see some beautiful Rhino's , Zebra's, Giraffe and different types of Bucks but the scenery was beautiful anyway.

Snaps of S.A.

Few snapshots of our drives close to home. Even in bad weather it looks beautiful.

Holidays are almost here!

This year is going to be a little different, usually we spend our time between christmas and new year in Sun City, swimming, eating, swimming, walking barefoot and not caring what we wear. This year my hubs side of the family (in laws) are planning to make a 10hour road trip to Cape Town. It would be the company of
+-10people including us.
It would be the first holiday, since ever, that I will be spending with them and its quite exciting. The only thing that I am not looking forward to is the drive down that way.
Sun City usually takes 6hrs from home and by the time we reach I get really pooped out, so this will be something. Not sure that I will taking out my swimwear though, it will be alot of sightseeing and shopping.
But thats cool, its not like I am a swimmer.  

Another project to think of!!!

My mum has been collecting post stamps for years now and has it stacked in a huge envelope, sealed. So I thought of bringing it out to her in a neat stamp book. It will take some time though but she is worth the trouble.

Shockingly, I think I fell on her in a sense that now I am getting a wee bit excited in the task.
Maybe I will finally start collecting my own for my book collection.(probably steal a few from her to get started lol).

Enjoying Eid in Johannesburg!

Eid has come again and this time it was to spend some time with my husbands family and we had a great time.

The holiday began on Friday when we took the 3hour long drive to johannesburg. When we reached my mums in law was waiting for us in the entrance lounge and she was very happy we came early and safely.

We spent Saturday doing a little shopping here and there, buying pizza for lunch and snacking at dinner time.
Eid day was on Sunday and that was a blast, as we went for breakfast to my hubs grans place and lunch and his uncles. The kids had an even bigger blast as the day was hot enough to jump into the pool.

I loved it as there was enough kids that day for me to kiss!

My both sister in laws came down, so there was alot to chat and too little time. The babies were just too adorable all dressed up. Sorry no photos to show off.

We came back home yesterday and both myself and hubs were exhausted. But we managed to get up early this morning for work.

Just a little chat for now, will blog more later.

Too much excitement to stop and write!

It's been a long time since I updated my blog. But here is a list of the fantastic things I have been upto:

1. Most importantly  I am proud to say that I have become an aunt for the 6th and 7th time. My darling cousin gave birth to a healthy baby boy on the 2nd of August and my darling sister in law Safia gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on the 19th of September. So you can only imagine how many times I managed to kiss those little angels.
2. I spent a week in johannesburg with my sister in law on her first week out of hospital, had a wonderful time playing and taking care of her and her two year old son and not to forget the small son.
3. I managed to start two new business's, a) Gift wrapping b) Kitchenware retail. (with holding my current job as insurance consultant)
4. Due to Safia's hands been full with the two boys now, she came up with a great idea to keep her hobbies in order as well, so we both decided to start writing a book. It is the most exciting thing ever, because this time we both would be each others inspiration and motivation.
5. My introduction is complete and I can't wait for her to show me hers when we exchange our hardcopies.
6. Studying is in order, proud to say that my darling hubby has written his exam and even enjoyed it. So thats one knot out of my shoulder. I, however, have to still write my exam. I am way ahead with time because the exam is next February. So you can imagine how ahead I am. I never leave anything for last minute.

For now thats all I can really think of, but if anything else pops up im sure I will find a way to get down blogging.
