Not a Loss

I don't consider it a loss when something that is Gods' returns back to him. Majority of the people who came to visit us thought that the reality of what happened had not dawned on us (my wife & I) because of our countenance from about 12 hours after the incident. What they did not know was that the truth had also dawned on us which is; heads or tails, we win.

for worse

If you do not have an idea of what the phrase "for better for worse" really means, especially the second part, I beg your pardon to be blunt about this truth, please do not get married until you understand it's full ramification or rather if you can't grasp it and you think you're running out of time, make sure it's omitted in your vows.

Following my Dream

I had a very wild imagination growing up and till now can't shake off some of those thoughts that just pop in my head. Exactly 8 years ago, I decided to 'publish' my thoughts in a notebook, the entries where dated so that whenever I read them in future, I could measure how far I had come to realizing them as against when I put them down.

My Confession

I am strong enough to persevere and never give up until I achieve my desired goals
I am strong enough to do the right thing even when those I look up to do not

Show me your friend

'Show me your friend and I'll tell you who you are' - you must have heard this one time or another, and as much as this looks/seems to be true, I have seen by experience that this statement should rather be
'show me your friend and I'll tell you who you could become'.

What do you do when your spouse isn't around?

The time will come, infact maybe several times, whether you planned for it or not, when you will be home alone. For clarity, I am refering to husbands and wives, not live-in partners, nor housemates, nor anything other than legally married couples.

Grateful

Hello and welcome to my first (published) post.

I cannot count how many times before now I have told myself that i'll start blogging. However, courage has stepped in, backed up with determination making today, the 19th Aug 2011 the begining of greater days ahead.

Today is my birthday and more than any feeling of happiness or anything else i am grateful and thankful to God - for keeping me alive till this moment, making my life beautiful - giving me a friend as a wife and giving us the custody of 2 beautiful girls -, for the gift of great families (Afolabis & Akinyemis), for wonderful friends, for a loving christian family and so much more.

I have been taking stock of my life since the early hours of today and just the events in the past month till date are enough to get me bursting into singing, dancing, crying (for joy ofcourse) and giving thanks to God.

I am indeed very grateful.
