Feminine Lines

I wondered who died in the family of a friend when I saw condolence messages. I found out later that her younger sister had committed suicide. My heart was deeply moved for her family. What makes a 26yr old lady have courage to take her own life but doesn't have courage to face another moment of the day. I would never know and neither would you. Yes, life can be overwhelming sometimes and even hopeless at other times. But one thing I know for sure 'no condition is permanent' and this too must pass. You would see the light of day if you can just take it one moment at a time rather than taking on too much. This comes back to my previous blog of 'I am fine'. Hmmmm I am sure she might have said that sometimes. Yes, she did say she was depressed, but sometimes we need someone to take out the time to ask and really listen. Have you been in touch with that one person this month? Let's reach out and hold someone's hand real tight and you would soon find out t...

this picture is of a brood of unhatched chicks i found in my compound. i had seen this furry thing and wondered what it was, the next morning, i found out it was a hen. it had lifted up its head and it didnt budge as i tried to chase it out of the compound before it ended up in my pot. i had seen a brood of chickens before and just chased them out. so i left the bird alone when i realised it was incubating its unborn chicks and she wasnt going to budge. so, i came in another day only to fine these 12 eggs, unprotected by the loving warmth of their mother hen. my heart went out to these unhatched vulnerable chicks and i immediately kicked into mummy mode to try and protect this brood. i realised that the hen had left them alone after the heavy rain to protect herself, but wasnt equipped in anyway to take her brood along. it must have been a hard decision i thought. so i covered them with bubble wrap to keep them warm and i am hoping and praying they make it. then i thought, sometime...

Hello Most treasured Sanity, How are you today? Really need to check on you cause it seems you haven't been around lately. I seem to be short tempered with the kids though I know they are not responsible for your prolonged absence. The spouse doesn't seem to figure and so I think both of you have eloped together with the same thoughts. Really, it seems the house can never stay tidy long enough. I did pay you for us to stay together longer but it seems other things get here and take up room before you arrive. Well, let me know when you choose to return so that I can create the time for us to spend quality time together and maybe then you might stay for good. P.S Pop in and pay the next lady a visit too. I think she might need you. Cause her back garden is overgrown and she hasn't sat there in a while. O, in the meantime what do I do till your next visit? Signed Who am I (again) How do you balance your life? What do you to keep it going without loosing ...

A friend- hey, how are you? Me/You - I am fine A friend - good, just thought to check on you and see how you are doing. Me/You ( our thoughts) - pls ask me detailed questions, I really do need someone to listen. I have talked to God and I know that He hears but He also uses people. I'm hurting but I wear a smile always. At least, I think that's what people expect, for me to have it together But as a woman, I am pulled at from all sides and usually the recipient of most things adverse. Please give me a big reassuring hug when you see me Please ask about my how my children are really doing Please ask if there is anything I need financially Please bless me though I look like I have it all Please dig a little deeper when you see me and don't take FINE alone for an answer Please ask how my marriage is doing Above all, ask me if I am doing ok with the things that concern me and if my dreams are been realised. Pray for me when I still say FINE and you know someth...

My buxom bosoms, They come with every female specie and in all shapes and sizes. But most importantly, we cant live without them whether they are huge, small, flat or being used as a feeding apparatus by another human specie. Some want to conceal, some want to reveal and some others just let it all hang out. Either way, they deserve all the love and care that you can offer them as they respond nicely to however they are related to....wink So, when last did you give yours the necessary care it deserves.....HAVE YOU EXAMINED YOUR BREASTS LATELY! I suggest you have them checked around your birthday, your spouse's (best friend) birthday and any time in October which is breast cancer awareness month. Take a group of trusted friends along to your gynaecologist and get checked, it would be comforting. Things you need to check out for are : lumps anything odd to you or majorly different between the 2 breasts any discharge (apart from breastfeeding mums) Make sure to get...
