It’s so easy to become wrapped up in the drama of life most days….

But there comes those moments in life when you take a step back and realise everything is going to be okay.  That you have so much more to be grateful for, than the things you complain about.

Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.
Henry Ward Beecher

So today I have taken some time out to think about and list all the things I am grateful for, so that when I have one of those days I can read my list….

I am grateful for….

• Amazing family that is very support of me and always there for me.
• True friends all over the world that respect me and no matter how long we don’t see each other for, when we do see each other then it’s as if we have never been apart.
• A job that I am enjoying, even though I bitch about long hours I keep reminding myself I have a really good job and there are many people without a job.
• For all the travelling I have managed to do, the breath taking views, the experiences and history I have been exposed to.  And all the travelling I am still going to do.
• The little luxuries that I can afford, the spa day trips, the new handbag, new heels – I realise that some people do not even have a home or food.  But it is very important to treat yourself if you work hard and deserve it.
• That I have moved on from past experiences and not let them strangle my soul. Yes, shit happens but that is life. Having the strength to dust myself off and pick myself up and move forward is a gift I am very grateful to have.
• Good health… well as good as it can be J

Just making this list already makes me feel more positive and fills me with energy to move forward to bigger and greater things.

What are you grateful about?

My brother is a talented soul, but he has had a hard time finding what his passion is. I think he has found it, he started studying photography this year and I am absolutely in love with some of his work….

I am very excited for the work he is going to produce in the future…..

All this bullshit about being *positive about SA* and ignoring Julius Malema is all a load of bullshit, if you ask me. Both these approaches only continue to promote the idea that the best ways to deal with a situation like this is to basically bury our heads in the sand and hope for the shit storm to blow over.

Julius Malema was given the freedom to do a large amount of damage in our country over the past two weeks and this reflects very badly on our current leadership. The current government has finally acted, but in my opinion their actions were a case of – too little, too late.

It is my opinion that the public outcry’s and media coverage on Julius and his actions is what forced the governments hand in acting on the “Julius Situation”. 

I promise you it was not the fact that the people said positive things about the country. And if we and the media had chosen to completely ignore Julius, it would have made it that much easier for the government to also ignore the situation.

I don’t know about you but I was ready to march to Parliament, throw dustbins over in the streets and set tyres on fire over the situation…..

What I am not ready to do is ignore the situation or bullshit myself about being positive right now, that is not what this situation needed. It needed people to stand up and say “Enough is Enough”!

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing. ” – Theodore Roosevelt
