Cherish

"It's gonna be bittersweet because, you know, this is it. It's almost like in life they say, well, you know, like they said, in life, you get excited about something you know. Once it's over it's over and it's never gonna come again. So you gotta live in the moment and that's, that's what I'll be doing."

Pursuit

"Once you have been there and done that, you feel happy for a while but the joy fades with time and you realise it is empty"

"Many have asked why I want to share the secrets of my success. Now I may not be able to take anything with me but I can still leave something behind for my children and students as real joy comes from giving and sharing"

Twenty Twelve

I feel it's necessary to blog about 2012 as a whole (kinda), despite how I have been limiting blog posts on this site to running-related posts only. Yet I'll keep them brief and vague, you'll have to ask me specifically if you'd like details.

2012 was a year of many new experiences, just as most years have been, due to my very tender age. I developed and directed relationships, encountered a few setbacks and enjoyed many blessings. The culmination of the various aspects definitely grew me to fit in my own skin.

A few weeks ago, the phrase "unprecedented favour" popped into my mind. I am certain I've experienced it - credit going to God - and I am grateful. Grateful for the people he has placed in my lives, grateful for the blessings he has showered upon me, grateful for the setbacks that I've experienced.

I note these, bearing in mind that He can give and take away - and let's not realise it only when it's too late.
