Helping hand

I got some good news last week. Remember some time ago I said that I'll be tempting at my husband's work for three months. Well, they offered me a halfday job and I accepted! This means I'll have more time to spend writing and do the things I don't have the time for when working fulltime. I'll be... Sign in to see full entry.

Loan from God

Our town has been shocked to a complete standstill with the news spreading of an eighteen year old boy who died in a car crash over the long weekend.

Should I be thankful or not?

My boss gave me the afternoon off today. He said I've been working hard lately and needs to rest. I didn't argue with him as I did feel a bit tired. I thought I'd surprise my son by fetching him early from daycare. What a surprise I got? "I'm I going home already?" No hello, no how are you? Just a... Sign in to see full entry.

"Mmmmmmmmmmm" Was the only response I... Sign in to see full entry.

A little more laugh

Today I want to share a poem with you that means a great deal to me each day! I'm translating it from Afrikaans, so forgive me if the tenses is not all in place! A little more laugh, and less complaining! A little more "us", and less "me"! A little more love, that disguises faults! A little more... Sign in to see full entry.
