Sport is a wonderful thing...

I love sport.... Well i only love it when i'm fit! I don't really wanna get into it when i am unfit!
For some reason though, when i actually do a sport i thoroughly enjoy it and then wonder why i don't do it more often, and the answer is UNFITNESS!
Sport is a great way of unwinding, socializing, losing unwanted fat, and for making new friends! Sport unites people, it creates an atmosphere, it produces emotions, it changes life!
It encourages spirit in the form of people shouting for others and getting the adrenalin pumping.

I love getting involved and supporting a team, it just makes me feel great!
Now on Saturday it is the Super 14 final - Blue Bulls vs Chiefs, BUT i will be "supporting" the Blou Bulle in my sharks shirt, i have to support a SA team but my spirit won't be very high because the Sharks (the best team) aren't playing. Now this is what sport is about - fans/supporters coming together and supporting their team. Sport also brings out the worst in us - i can't help but get angry and frustrated! I feel SO sad and irritated when the Sharks or Springboks lose! It isn't good for the heart!

I am a big rugby and cricket fan! I love watching sport.
As far as me doing sport, i MTB, swim and am getting into running. I would love to play action cricket!

SO come on everyone get off your bums and support a team, any team...it may be soccer, hockey, rugby or cricket! Lets get the comraderie going!!

Today, Now, Me.....

Why do people complain? Some people complain more than others....Why?? These questions go through my head often! We have so much to be happy for, we are so blessed! Families - yes, food - yes, bedding and housing - yes, clothes - yes, pets who love us - yes.....And yet we still complain! People out there are dying.... and we still complain about the small things! Yes i know we don't have to feel guilty the whole time but some people complain about the petty things.

My life has taken a happy turn - i've got a new outlook on life, we don't have forever to live on earth and time is running out - so why waste time being sad and down, be happy and make each day worth it, live it to the full and get something out of it! Each day provides opportunities to learn, to love, to laugh and yes even to make mistakes. You can't say i have a dream and do nothing towards it, each day you have to work towards that dream.

No one said life was gonna be easy, but we make it complicated. I am happy where i am, i love children and i am working as a Teacher's Assistant (I love my job) i have a family who loves me.....so what more could i want?!
I've decided that each day we have a choice whether we want it to be a good day or a bad day...we have a choice to go out there and make it a good day no matter what, people push us down, stand up and learn something from it! I've had times at work where i wish i could leave because of issues, but i've learnt you can't run away from problems, you have to face them!

I know it may all sound so easy and there are times that are tough but we gotta keep our heads up no matter what.
I want to smile and laugh and be happy, and know that if i die today - i died a happy person and i tried my best at life!

We can't sit back and relax, we got to work for what we want! Nothing comes for free.

Never have regrets because from every bad choice or mistake you learn something!

So take that step of faith and take life by the horns.....

I love my mom SO SO much! I would really be lost without her. My Nana (my mom's mom) passed away in November and i will never really know how my mom felt, but if i had to lose my mom - i really don't know how i will cope! She is a HUGE part of who i am.
I love spending time with my mom. We make each other laugh, we going shopping together, we go put petrol in together....we do alot together and i absolutely love it.

A mom is something special and a mom can never be replaced.

Mom's do alot for us that goes unoticed! I really appreciate my mom and for all she does for me.
My mom is my best friend! There is nothing she doesn't know!

So to my mom.... I love you and i will always love you!!
