a night out with Gill

Last night Gill and I got together for a long overdue movie date.
I picked her up and we caught a cup of coffee at Seattle before the movie.
Immediately she had me in stitches.Gill had an amazing sense of humor.One that makes me roll with laughter.
We watched "Chloe" and then had dinner at J.B rivers.A sushi dinner and more laughs.
She really is such an inspirational woman.Having lost her hubby just over a year ago I cannot get over her outlook and love for life and she also had her only child move out and is abt to get married.
Gill just has this amazing aura and I love her company.Can't wait till we meet again prob on the new year.This friendship really shows that no matter the age difference friendships bloom.

Need more music in my life

Sat in my car yesterday thinking I have had a year plus of having no radio and enjoying the silence on my journeys but really I so need to get a radio.
I am missing the music in my life.Yeah I get to listen to music at home but sometimes you just need a jingle or two to accompany you on the ride.
I have found a thousand other things to do with my money each month so I have decided its going onto my 2011 list of things I would like :)

another ME day

Ok Ok I don't always have me days-LOL.
I had a bit of a challenging week last week but tackled it by the horns.It still had a draining impact on my body though so I decided to take today off and just de-clutter the brain and enjoy some sun on Camps Bay.
Its been a good weekend filled with special friends and moments but today I still feel like there is this haze in my head of things to clear.
So I am about to put my phone away and just connect with the sea and sun.

A ME DAY

Today I had a much needed 'ME DAY'.Its more so enjoyable on a weekday as you can feel that your surrounds have less of a buzz of people around.
Today I invested in a long overdue vacuum :) Been using Yasmins shark and it does not want to charge with the charger she gave me so I guess it was a sign to just do it and buy one.
What a range at Game!I settle of an Electrolux lite.Of course I used my new toy and gave the carpets a good clean this afternoon.It worked well.
I then had a swim at the virgin active in Century City.I was dissapointed with the set-up and the narrow pool!
Oh well I had a good swim and then headed to the beach.It was beautiful-sun on my skin,water breaking gently with a soothing noise,seagulls now and then whizzing by.It was bliss.Bliss was broken now and then by vendors selling their juice and chips and of course the 'granadilla lolly'
It was most relaxing and I hope to go back this wknd.I aim to hit the beach as much as possible this summer.
I have napped for far too long so now wide awake and working at seven-eek!

On such a high

Adhil and Kav just completed the More to Life course this past wknd.
What an amazing weekend of transformation for many people-participants and team members.
There really is a difference I feel when I am on the team running the wknd with loved ones doing the course-it makes you want to perform that much more with pride and love.
Been a tiring week and I had a deep longing to go to Jozie to re-fuel_have a change of scene and spend time with friends and family but its not the right time it seems.
Decided to stay put next wknd and re-fuel and chill here in the beauty of the mother city.
Am shocked that there are three more months only till midmar!wow wee

time for ME

What a nice feeling to wake up this morning and just be.Time is not demanding on me to be somewhere immediately.
I am still in bed :) Had been listening to music,catching up on posts on a blog I love. Iwantthat.co.za
Enjoyed a cup of coffee and now wondering in which order should I do the things I need to get done this morning.
Clean my flat,hit the city on foot,go for a swim.The thing is there is a certain vibe in the early morning that glistens in the early morn so I am thinking that first,then a swim then clean my flat.
Hmmmm.... Feeling so excited abt the possibilities that are going to open for people this wknd are am taking the More to life course where I will be serving this wknd.Its long hours but so fulfilling.I can't put the feelings into words that you feel by the sunday night.
My dear brother Adhil and my friend Kav are doing the course so more so is this wknd huge for me in my life and Cashel is also on team.I did my wknd a year ago over this exact same wknd so wow this is huge for me.
Hmmm something just sprung to mind-maybe I should head to sidewalk cafe after a swim for some of the Vredehoek magic after a swim.

Deeper moments

Mama dearest is due to leave back to JHB tomorrow after a most meaningful and enjoyable trip to CPT. Each time I spend time with her it becomes more and more dear to me.This trip has been exceptionally special and close to my heart. It was filled with many kodak moments and it filled this chapter in my life with the most interesting memories. I do feel a sadness that she leaves however it time for Zsa and family to enjoy the joy that mum brings and its time for mum to receive a different dose of joy. I cant help but thinking "What if this is the last" however shouldnt that always be with everyone you get to spend these special moments with.I guess I do always feel like that but more so in mums case.
