True Love

True love is your soul's recognition of it's counterpoint in another.

~ Owen Wilson's character in the movie "The Wedding Crashers"~

Found the solution. .

Faced with an enormous task. Found the solution in a quote in my diary today...

Mark Twain said:

"The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one."

How is that for a solution..the fact that I happened to stumble upon it today is proof of the Almighty One watching my every step. What a wonderful thought.

Cellphone blogging

After the unfortunate incident where I washed my cellphone in the washing machine, I have now upgraded to a model of phone that allows blogging. Just finished the setup for blogging so OFF WE GO!!!

PS. I love technology. Was called an IT slut recently...still don't think I should see this in a negative light...

PPS. I should remember adding images to blogging. That always makes a difference.

I read in 2009

As is customary at the beginning of every year, I blog the books that I have read the previous year. Here then the list:

Sue Grafton - D is for Deadbeat
Kate Furnivall - The Russian Concubine
Anita Shreve - The Pilot's Wife
Retha & Aldo McPherson - 'n Boodskap van God
Charles Sobczak - a Choice of Angels
Erika Murray-Theron - 'n Tapisserie met klein diere
Natasha Sutherland - Bittersoet
Debbie Macomber - Thursdays at eight
William P. Young - The Shack
Susan Coetzer - Oros vir die siel

Without making excuses for the pathetic little list (that was mostly read in the last two months of the year), I reckon that the year was emotionally eventful enough to occupy most of my time. I already have a stack of books ready for this year, just hope that I will have the enthusiasm to read and blog about them. One particular author that I look forward to meeting is Herman Charles Bosman. I also intend reading the Twilight series that is now all the rave. Thinking about it, I have been reading to a blind man for the past year, a novel that was written about the Bible. THAT was most certainly the best book and has been making Bible study pure JOY! More about that later. Love the fact that my husband is at this moment spending the last day of his holiday, reading. How fortunate I am to love a person that also loves reading and books. You should see our library, we will have to expand soon. Have I told you lately how much I love him? After a year of married life, our marriage is getting even better.
