What's the worst that can happen?

For weeks now I have been moaning about how the poor internet connection back home would seriously affect keeping up with my promise to blog more consistently.

Just now I was playing with my blackberry - and old beat up pearl - and I thought...what if I could access my blog dashboard with this?

What you are now reading is the result of not just the thought, but the action that backed it up.

It got me thinking about life in general, how many times a new idea pops into our consciousness and we discard it out of fear or just plain laziness...because we don't know what the outcome would be.

The people at Nike got it right with their slogan 'just do it'. I did and stumbled on something exciting and liberating.

Who knows what you will discover at the end of your next 'what if?'.... (just please keep it legal!!!)

Lunching with my 'Frister'

I had lunch with my frister today. We both turned up wearing the same things - blue jeans, black top and a blue scarf...and sunglasses! It was such a blessing to just hang out, talk and eat lunch on the (wished it was drier) grass.

And in case you are wondering what on earth a frister is, it's a friend who is more to you than a friend...more like a sister in every way except biology!!!

Who moved my brain - funny and thought provoking.

Armloads of Blessings

Psalm 126 (Message)

A Pilgrim Song

^1-3 It seemed like a dream, too good to be true, when God returned Zion's exiles.
We laughed, we sang,
we couldn't believe our good fortune.
We were the talk of the nations—
"God was wonderful to them!"
God was wonderful to us;
we are one happy people.

^4-6 And now, God, do it again—
bring rains to our drought-stricken lives
So those who planted their crops in despair
will shout hurrahs at the harvest,
So those who went off with heavy hearts
will come home laughing, with armloads of blessing.
