When you look at a running stream, you can almost hear the
music it makes. Like it's dancing to the tune of joy, even as it rushes along a
few boulders and the sides of the banks. No apparent obstacle can subdue its
song. They just become a part of its rhythm, which the stream adjusts to while keeping its tempo and the integrity
of its tune. It's like the stream learns to improvise upon whatever is thrown on
its path. It doesn't stop flowing just because something unexpected and unfamiliar
occurs. It never ceases to move forward happily. It never surrenders its power
of inner joy and peace, because of a worry or concern. It remains focused upon
the inspiration of its goal, and the opportunities that can even surprise at
times.

Funny And Embarrassing Moments
Oops! We have all at one time or another in our lives had these moments. The most common being embarrasing moments. You find yourself with your face turning bright red. You just want to hide yourself. You've just done something totally embarrassing, and it feels like everyone is staring at you and giggling. Maybe everyone IS staring at you and giggling. Hey, it happens to everybody.
I have had quite a few memorable embarrassing moments which I have found quite hilarious! I remember when I used to catch the bus when I worked at the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Inevitably the bus was always packed to capacity which resulted in most people standing in the aisle of the bus. One day it was my turn to be standing. I was at the front of the bus standing where there were two compartments either side where one could put suitcases or bags and this compartment had a rail in front. So there I am, one minute standing and the next thing, as the bus took a corner quite sharply, there I was flat on my back in the compartment, on top of the suitcases and bags with my legs hanging over the rail!! Bwahahaha...not very lady like when you are wearing a skirt and high heels...can you imagine? Everyone just burst out laughing!
Another incident. There I am walking in town in my high heels on the pavement. Next thing I find myself stepping out of my shoe and find myself with one shoe on and one stockinged foot. I turn around and there is my other shoe stuck in a groove in the pavement! So off I go to retrieve my shoe but cannot get it out of the groove!! I have all these people walking the pavement, hustling and bustling around me and there I am on my haunches trying to get my shoe...
Then, now this was really funny. I lived in a complex where there was a communal wash line. It had rained quite heavily the day before and there were still puddles of water around. So there I am. Hanging the washing. As I was going along the line I had to jump over one huge muddy puddle. Which I did. But, when I landed on the other side of the puddle my feet slipped from under me, it was a muddy patch. I landed flat on my back in this muddy puddle! When I got up again my backside, my back and the back of my head was covered in mud!! Oh my soul what a sight I was...hahaha
The funniest moment I had on the golf driving range. My sister, Angie and I had gone to the golf driving range to drive some golf balls. It was Angie's turn. I was standing to one side. She did her thing and swung at the ball. I looked up and saw the golf ball flying through the air with something next to it, which I thought at first was a bird. I said to Angie "Look at that bird flying next to the ball". I then looked over at Angie and there she was staring at the end of her golf stick...the club was missing!!!! Oh my soul! I was eventually rolling on the ground I was laughing so much...
I could really just about write a book on all the funny and embarrassing things that have happened to me, but I think I will leave it at that for now...teeeheeeheeee

The Person I Used To Be
Am I the same person I used to be? In one way, yes. Yet I have dedicated a lot of time to an effort to understand more about life - and about myself. That journey of discovery has taken me to many interesting places and my experiences have significantly shaped my personality. So, I can't really view the situation I now face through the eyes that I once looked out from. I cannot react to a problem in a way that I might have once responded. A moment of insight made me realise this.
