Here's something to brighten your day. Saw it while surfing the web this morning just before work starts. I hope y'all have a great day. "The best measure of a man's honesty isn't his income tax return. It's the zero adjust on his bathroom scale." Arthur C. Clarke "Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down." Oprah Winfrey "Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting. William Arthur Ward "I find television very educational. Every time someone turns it on, I go in the other room and read a book." Groucho Marx "You'll be richer in the end than a prince, if you're a friend. Edgar A. Guest "So, if you feel a smile begin, don't leave it undetected, let's start an epidemic quick, and get the world infected!" Russel H. Conwell, from SMILE VIRUS "Age is an issue of mind over matter. If y

It was a cold dark night Just after a heavy down pour Walking home after a busy day Lord knows i was so knacked Phone rings Picked up, smiled Hi dad, wassup i said Lost in my world as passed by this drunken soul I wasn't looking, i was just talking. Then i heard words i can't make out Thot it was a brotha blasting in tongues It got louder and i looked back Zipping up his pants and looking straight at me Saw his mouth move, then the words follow He's drunk but i bet he meant every word he said Go home, you don't belong here $*...t or something like that. Most of what he said i didn't hear Maybe i heard but choose to ignore them. Dad asked, what's going on? I replied, just passing by a pub. If it had been in another location... In another part of the world. If it had been in a place i call home The story'll definately be different He was a company for a while Then he turned back To finish his drink i guessed And i'm left alone again To continue my conversa

Does it matter that we're different ..of different background and culture Does matter that you are white Does it that I'm black Does it matter that you're taller or that you consider yourself finer Does it matter that you're richer Does it matter that you're poorer Does it matter? Does it make you feel good? Does it make you feel better I bet your blood is white too or maybe black I bet you have two hearts too..isn't it so? Does it matter that you're you And I'm me Can't we just be friends or at least tolerate each other See the sky...it's wide enough for all the birds the Maker created To fly without them getting in each others way See this world It's big enough... For you and me to do our things without hating on each other. Now i'm not saying you should like me but can't you just ignore me I'm not soliciting you love the world, but you don't have to hate it either

Just before you walk out that door. Just before you decide you've had enough Just before you start thinking that you can't take it anymore Think it through. Don't rush to making the decision. Don't jump to conclusion. Don't lose that hope Don't throw all cautions to the wind. Yes it's true i don't feel your pain And it is more true that i may never understand what you're going through But trust me... some had had it worse than you. And others have seen things you can only imagine...and guess what? They are still standing. In the midst of the storm...they found a lifeline. In the darkest of all nights...they saw the light at the very end of the tunnel. Against all hope... they dared to still hope. They dared to believe They dared to trust They dared to love... just one more time They dared to be at peace with themselves They dared to hold up a brother even when they wished someone's holding them up. It ain't easy...but who said it will be. Don

I think its high time i started thinking of changing jobs. Now i love my job, i enjoy what i do, i have wonderful colleagues (Its aint easy to be the only 'dudu' in an 'oyinbo dominated' office and we all work together as a team (not i can't say i know what's on their minds...but then i don't really want to know)... but i just have this gut feeling that the time to move on is nearer than i think.

Today is a beautiful day. Not that it didn't come with its own heart ache Not that it didn't come with its share of pain ...but because our lives is really what we make out of it. Today... some people are laughing and some are crying Some are happy, others are sad. Some made it through this hour, others simply don't Some had it easy, some are thankful... that the pressure only made them stronger. Some are fainting, some are rising. Some won, some lost Some died, some lived. Some risked, some couldn't Some are living, some are just existing. Some failed, some excelled. Some are tired of trying, some just to give it one more shot. Some have lost hope, some just found it. This is the life we live in. Maybe it's our cross, maybe its a calling. Maybe it's just want it is...Life. Really, it is what we make out of it. It is how look at it. If our approach to it is not working...maybe it's time to re-evaluate things Change tactics...move on Afterall, he that is down
