Hey all

Its March, can you imagine!?

It's March and i have not posted anything since November last year! Truth is, i have been on the move a lot. My work has been taking me to many places. Some of which have left me humbled, made me look deep inside myself, heightened my sense of self-appreciation for all that's around me.

The year has been good so far, as we all do every year - set 'resolutions' start it all up with gusto, but as these things tend to go, steam tends to bate as the year wears on, but sure say can i, check, check, check... and my pen hovers over the next on the list... swim while you still have strength, they say.

I am growing up. I write this with a feeling of bittersweetness. The feeling in itself floods me with contentment, but then leaves an after-taste of rebillion. A pull that is sure to make me wear my pants as i would at 19 a.k.a saggers gone wild.
"Snap out of it" i scold myself as i pull them up sharply.

My folks look at me with questioning eyes. They have their own list to check, my Mother's pen impatiently hovers over 'Item 2' on said list. She doesn't even waste time to remind me everytime she sees me. What started as safe banter a few years ago has become imploratory, thus we all wait for the other shoe to drop...
