Some Days....

Some days it is a struggle to remain upbeat.

Some days it is tempting to crawl into bed and stay there.

Some days it is hard to resist that bar of chocolate and other comfort food.

Some days it is extra challenging to keep smiling and be thankful.

But
It is especially on such days that I will look out the window and see reminders such as this little wonder.
It is particularly on such days that the verses of Scripture become more alive.

Matthew 10:29-31
Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father 's will.  But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.


Without the valleys, the mountain tops are less precious.
Without the clouds, the sun is less appreciated.
Without the rain, the rainbow can't be formed.
Without the dark, the stars wouldn't seem so pretty.

Some days are meant to be SON DAYS

Prayers for Peace

Elections always stoke up emotions as issues close to the heart are raised.

This time, the General Elections is going to be even more intense.

Normal ordinary folk are drawn in. Nary a conversation without this topic being raised. 

At such a time we need to pray. And pray intensely.

Pray especially for peace, especially for the nation.  

Such is the Weather

Behold the snail of the morning. And the snail of the evening before.

The wet weather seems to have drawn them out. And for some reason, they are more active than usual....

Chilli Moments

Couldn't resist posting this. Aren't they cute? Three different types of chilli plants grow in my garden, thanks to my household help.

We use the biggest one in frying vegetables or just garnishing. They aren't as spicy as they look.

The medium sized one is also not terribly spicy. These are often put into some meat dishes.

The litte one? Not to be trifled with. Big kick for a small fella!

With all three, we can also crush them and soak in soya sauce for that added flavour.

BUT having said all that, I have to confess - I don't like chilli! Hahahahaha!

Apple Moments

Gone are the days when a telephone is simply used to call someone. The digital revolution has changed all that. The changes started when SMS became a runaway success. Slowly the phone was combined with the ubiquitous PDA. But that is only the beginning. Soon it became the smart phone which every mobile executives and business person can't do without. It has become as powerful as a laptop. 

Another gadget most of us has grown dependent on is the iPad. Old folk prefer the ipad to the complicating and fidgety laptops. 

With the modern-day person, regardless of age, so dependent on the smart phone and iPad, a huge industry of cell phone and iPad accessories is now in existence to support its users. One needs to get updates from places such as Wireless Emporium Updates to stay abreast with things!

Passing on of an Era

"I felt safe in the UK when she was PM.... steady hands, steely resolve, quite remarkable" 

Humbling Indeed

Seeing this gives a totally different perspective on many things
