Live your life #smed12

It’s not always easy living your life to the fullest, but it is something that I will regret not doing.

We tend to live our life pleasing others that we forget what our own wants and needs are. We forget to be true to ourselves by making decisions that works best for us. It’s always about the next person and fitting in with society’s norms.

It’s best to make yourself happy, it’s so tiring pretending to be something and someone that you are not. You only live once so make the most of everyday.

Enjoy being you love, share, care and live life to the fullest it’s now or never!

Birthday #smed12

That special day once a year, when we are blessed too add another year to our life. The pamper sessions doing your hair and nails and thereafter receiving plenty of gifts. Wearing your new outfit which is all part of the whole birthday celebration.

It’s nice when you can plan a birthday party and you invite close friends and family to share that special day with you. Then reading all your birthday wishes on facebook it’s very impersonal but it’s the thought that counts.

There is a saying “people who celebrate their birthdays live longer”. Why do people refuse to tell you their age, many believe after 21 you don’t ask age anymore.

I believe that you are as old as you feel. The younger the spirit the more pleasant the ageing. ….

My favourite Hiking Trail #smed12

 

I enjoy hiking and being outdoors. The hiking activities are fun and you learn so much on these hiking trails and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and nature.

I did the Crystal waters hike it’s just past Gordon’s bay. I was shocked to see the waterfalls and cliff diving. It was scenery you usually see on television. It is a long hiking with the best scenery. There are eight pools across the trail so you can hike and rest take a swim and take it further.

This trail is the best during summer. You can do the hike in a shorts and your bikini top and it’s best to start early morning then you can spend the whole day on the trail. The swimming is definitely the best part I enjoy the mountain water and taking pictures by the waterfalls.

Then relaxing on those big rocks and watching the people do cliff diving. Hiking allows you to enjoy nature and keep fit.

What has empty fear stopped you from doing? smed12

 

I stopped myself from going bungee jumping from the highest bungee bridge in the country. This was one summer holiday as we were on our way back from Port Elizabeth. That was too much adrenalin and being that far from the ground it was scary.

 

I was hoping that I weighed less than 55kg then that would have been the best excuse not to jump.

 

I shortly discovered my height and weight was fine but unfortunately my fear and anxiousness got the better of me. 

 

When I saw all the old and young people getting ready to jump I was even more traumatised because that could not possibly be for the faint hearted.

I decided to do the bridge walking it felt as if I had more control than hanging upside down on a string. Lol

I prefer to enjoy outings and live life on the safe side so I let my fear get the better of me.

Rather safe than sorry no bungee jumping for me.

Are you aware that someone has it worse than you #smed12

Yes, I do. I realised that on a daily basis while speaking to other people. Just as I thought I have many issues and that nothing seems to work out. But the minute I hear the next person’s story I realise that I have nothing to complain about.

I’ve learned to appreciate everything in life there will be ups and downs but the next person sometimes need way more than you do.

I went to Pick ‘n Pay one night just before closing time, I bought several items and some things were really unnecessary. Then the car guard was in front of me, buying a loaf of bread and a pack of frozen chicken. He paid for that food with 50c, 20c and 5c. I had tears in my eyes seeing this cashier struggling to count all the coins. He stands in the heat or cold each day as a car guard just to buy food he can take home to his family.

I immediately thought of all the times I didn’t tip the car guard. But now I know they appreciate each sent they can get, because they have to provide for their families even if they only make R20 day.

 

 

Reality!

When is the time tyo stop calculating risk and reward and just do what you know is right? #smed12

We live in a world where we are forced to consider certain things before we can make decisions. We have to think things through and make sure that we act accordingly. As there are many risks involved when it comes to making decisions about your own life?

 The most complicated risks are when it’s decisions about your own life, spiritually, family or your career.

We should live for the moment and make sure we do what is right.
 It’s easier said than done but life is too short to toss and turn with regards to decisions.

We subconsciously calculate the decision and rewards because we are scared of making mistakes.  Many times we must rather throw caution to the wind and go with something. Life goes on and time does not wait on anybody.

So live life and take chances but be responsible and accountable for your decisions and actions but just make sure you do what is right.

How many handbags do you have? #smed12

I have over 20 handbags. Different sizes, styles and colours.  You go through a phase where you want your handbags to match your outfits or shoes. I suppose we get our inspiration from the Kardashians or Sex and the City characters. The only difference is we are not celebrities.

Having so many handbags becomes very annoying for me after a while, because you have to unpack all your items into a different bag every night. Only to discover that you forgot either your wallet or train ticket in the other bag.

It’s very stylish when everything matches but all those handbags take up so much space, I need a cupboard just for handbags.  I’ve bought smaller handbags so that I can just use it for the most important items. And yet that does not work.

I Love bags
