Monday morning NON-blues

When i state that i hate waking up on a Monday morning i know, without a doubt, that i am not alone... and that is not only because my mom also feels that way. Maybe that's where i get the energy to gobble down a burnt piece of toast, down a burning hot cup of coffee and pull three non-matching pieces of clothes onto my nearly limp body. From the thought... more like the awareness, that i am not the only person suffering today. And that's when i start thinking...

Maybe there's people out there that has things on their minds that's a lot worse. That the pain and suffering from my perspective could maybe seem like a blessing to them. And although it is known to be a cliche, i should be grateful for the opportunities that today will bring. And make use of it in every way possible.
So, i am aware of the fact that the clock just hit noon. But this one is going to be great. I am going to enjoy every single minute of it. And my mission will not be to act grumpy because i couldn't get everything i want today, but to smile because of everything i did reach. And maybe, yours will be as well...

Hi Elmari:
Baie dankie vir dié pragtige stukkie herrinneringe aan my Pa. Jy het die inligting wat ek destyds aan jou verskaf het, mooi verwerk, en ek kan slegs my opregte waardering uitspreek oor hoe jy dit aanwend! So word nie net Genis en Koöperasietories "lewend" gehou nie, maar ook een van die grootste akteurs wat ons land ooit opgelewer het - Jacques Loots.
Dankie nogmaals, en as daar enigiets is waarmee ons in die toekoms kan help, moet jy asb. nie huiwer om kontak te maak nie.
NS: Die Highlands Panorama Nuus (Lydenburg) - my koerant - beoog om in samewerking met die Universiteit van Rhodes in 2008 te begin met internskappe vir afgestudeerde joernalisstudente, wat 'n verpligte praktiese tyd moet deurloop. Indien jy sou belangstel, kan ek vroeg in die nuwe jaar vir jou meer besonderhede laat kry.
