Post Birthday post

Hello my friends

I have been very quiet, which is not unusual; what is unusual about this quietness is the period I'm in.It was my birthday eleven days ago (10th) and I usually make some noise on my day. It is my own "Christmas day" and I would normally write something. I had actually planned my post for that day, but for some reason it was not to be. At the last minute, I decided to do a different type of celebration, one that is almost entirely spiritual and did not require any sort of noise making. The type people usually term "soul searching"

So yes, I've been searching my soul, and I must confess, I've not been too pleased with some of the stuff I've found there. Broken dreams, unfulfilled promises, under achievement, missed or misused opportunities..phew! I could go on and on. I've found a lot of clutter and it looks like there's a whole lot more to discover in that place where we usually hate to look. I've decided to look very hard in every nook and cranny and do a proper "spring cleaning" with the help of my Helper, the Holy Spirit. It could take a while to get there but I know at the end of this sanitation exercise, a whole new me will emerge. I can't wait to meet me then, but even now I already see the benefits.

So, what did I do on my day? I visited my daughter in Queen's College with her siblings in tow and spent several hours cheering at the school's inter-house sports. I received several beautiful wishes online and offline. Got some very lovely presents and was treated to a beautiful dinner for two by my favourite person. Thank you all for stopping by on my birthday; I appreciate every word, every wish and every prayer. If you didn't stop by, don't beat yourself up; I didn't notice, in my heart you did and I appreciate you.
It's been a very busy time for me at work and a number of things breaking out here and there. Watch out for details soon.

Shalom
