thoughts – Page 15 – A Kitchen In Uganda

Well today is Maunday Thursday and i am more than happy to share with you this flower! Guess it symbolizes the fact that despite all the schedules to meet, the exams, the errands and checklists to finish, this weekend will be a great one for me. Bonding with friends, doing various activities and hanging out with my siblings(my sister goes to a boarding school and she is home for the weekend). It is more than I could ask for. Sometimes we get wrapped up in our daily lives that we actually forget to live, something I am entirely against. I pray that as the Easter holiday mood sets in, take time to look around and notice what and who is around you. It is the little things that truly matter in the end. What are you looking forward to this weekend?

Happy Holidays and May God bless you

2013 More of 2012

Although it is now 2013,Istill can’t just get over the fact that 2012 is gone! I’m still in that bitter-sweet moment where I am glad at the same time sad that 2012 is over. Though its gone, I still want to share some significant memories that made it a good year.

1. Being Alive – First of all I am so grateful that I passed through the year alive.

2. Turning 18- It’s a little bit scary and still hard to comprehend but yeah! Last year I turned 18(i feel so old!) and still I’m grateful for reaching this far…I don’t deserve it.

3.Starting College- Ok ,I started college the other year(2011) but after a lot of complications and major moving, I finally settled in college and I have to say its all good though hectic.

4. Visiting my Grandparents- I finally got to visit my grandparents after a long period of 6 years! I know it’s too long but well so circumstances can’t be controlled.

5. Bri’s Wedding- I also got to me a maid on favourite cousin’s wedding. It was a very emotional moment watching her marry the man of her dreams… I shed a few tears… totally cheesy! I know.

6. Appearing on TV- I know it’s insane alright but yeah it happened out of the blue. I would like to sat that is was God’s planning because it taught me many things. By the way we( me and my little sister) sang a song.

7. Starting up a Blog – yep I started this blog last year. I am grateful I did because I have learnt a lot from it. I have had a chance to connect with fellow bloggers and it is somewhat a documentation of my growth a s a person.

8. Hosting a Christmas Party- Yeah I did it all by myself… ok ya with the help of my sisters… and my dad too. But it’s the first time my mother has not been around so it was a major accomplishment for me. The atmosphere was great and the people liked the food( I got to make a pound cake for dessert and my dad couldn’t get over it… really!). I hope i get to make more parties!

Well that about sums up 2012. It was a good year and I have already listed my New Year’s Resolutions. It’s a long list but I tried to make them as realistic as possible so they can be achievable.

what are your new year’s resolutions?
