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.....

Reasons Why I love my Mom...

1) She loves me no matter what.
2) She spends time with me.
3) She helps me through tough times.
4) She comforts me
5) She protects me
6) She taught me how to drive
7) She has taught me life lessons
8) She has always stuck by me
9) She has given me my freedom
10) She always wants what is best for me.
11) She loves me for who i am
12) most of all she has given me a home (yes with my dad BUT this post is about mom!)

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.
We all have days when we dislike our mom's and wish they would get out our lives BUT in reality it is all false.

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!!

My New Kitten...

I have got a new little Kitten. Her name is Pepsi!

Her story is interesting.... I saved her life.

She was running around in the middle of the road one Sunday afternoon and nearly got hit by a taxi. She is black with greeny yellow eyes!

She is just too precious and has crept into my heart. I could not take her to the SPCA after i saved her. She is full of beans. BUT i love her.

My favourite song...

Use Somebody - Kings Of Leon

I've been roaming around
Always looking down at all I see
Painted faces, fill the places I cant reach

You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody

Someone like you, And all you know, And how you speak
Countless lovers under cover of the street

You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you

Off in the night, while you live it up, I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shape the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice

Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me, somebody

Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody

I've been roaming around,
Always looking down at all I see

What a week..

This week has been such a busy week!
Studying has been busy this week and so has work!! But i have totally fallen inlove with my little Grade ones! They are just too cute.

The one sad thing this week was my Grade 7 teacher had her last day on Friday!! I cried 3 times on friday! You see Izotsha was my favourite school - i started there in 2001 and i was in Gr 6. BUT the best year of my life was in Gr 7. I was in Mrs M's class and her and i just clicked from day one! She taught me so many important lessons - she bulit my confidence! She was my sencond mother! Izotsha became a 2nd home for me...i LOVED it there! Anyway the day i left i cried for hours afterwards...my heart was never whole after that! I hated high school and wished everyday that i could go back to Izotsha.

After matric i got a TA (teacher's assistant) post there and here i am back at Izotsha! I am going into my 2nd year there and i am loving it! But with Mrs M leaving on friday i feel like the part of Izotsha that meant so much to me is leaving! The school has changed so much since i was there and now i feel like that part of me is leaving again!! So Friday was a very sad day for me!!

I am glad it is weekend and am able to rest!
Have a good weekend everyone!

:-)
