January taught me a lot and really reaffirmed my father's teachings "just because a dog smiles at you don't mean it likes you" nothing could have made this parable more true than what January gave me I have learnt and I have lived and an important message is to "live and learn" at this point in my life I am living by "once bitten twice shy" motto. Don't get me wrong I am not sheltering myself and not taking risks I am, I am just more cleverer on what risks to take. Though January was hard in it's own essence it was also a much needed learning curve for me and I believe I am much happier and stronger because of it.
February had so much promise and I continued with living positively and ready for anything and it really proved me right but in it I was tested and still am more than I thought possible. My naivety is one to question but how I have been brought up has helped me to keep the essence but also to learn quickly and move forward. February saw me lose my beloved auntie, gave me a new and wonderful role and many other wonderful things. Losing a loved one will never be an easy thing, what was worse was seeing my mother cry <-- this took all my fighting power and left me numb. I walk around smiling happy and giving the world my best and being their for everyone and yet inside I feel something I can not describe.
March had started with a message of strength and I am ready for whatever, the priest at church said something that captured me and is still running around in my mind. He simply said "people ask in time of need especially when you lose a loved one, where is God! How can this be his will?" The priest said "God is always there for us and because the evil spirits do not want us to believe in God they try to hurt and separate us from God by taking away the things or people we love the most" so that we can doubt God and leave him but what we should do is the more the evil spirits do this the faster we run back to God.
Finally I wanted to say a huge thank you to my readers and new subs. I appreciate the love and your time, till next time.
Every single day is to learn something. I think that the fact that you have the time to think deeper in what happens and the reason why it does, makes you grow up and the awesome person that you already are.

DeleteLife has peaks and valleys. Everyone wants to be on the peak as much as possible, but growth and learning happens in the valleys. Learns your lessons and then get the heck back up to the peak ;) Thank you for sharing!
