Today after work, I stood at LIME waiting for a van. We had a meeting at school so I was there quite late.
A car sped by, but stopped quickly. I turned to see what had caused them to stop.
Out pops one of my former students.
She comes over, "Good night Miss King, Happy belated birthday."
Then she gives me THE BEST HUG ever.
Why was it THE BEST HUG ever?

A car sped by, but stopped quickly. I turned to see what had caused them to stop.
Out pops one of my former students.
She comes over, "Good night Miss King, Happy belated birthday."
Then she gives me THE BEST HUG ever.
Why was it THE BEST HUG ever?
Her eyes compelled them to stare, and her mouth laughed
at the madness.
What was she to do with this yearning that forced her to
make prey
Men who would become ensnared in her aura?
She never invited them in, she was never a hunter.
But, seemingly her very presence was enough to awaken
primal urges.
She had once asked a lover what made him fall in love
with her,
He had become animated like a child recounting a trip to
the beach,
For him it was everything about her.
She who had always seen imperfection in herself
Found his response trite, it could not possibly be
everything.
But, he insisted,
So she gave up.
She was interested in him, and convinced herself that she
loved him.
She did nice things for him, nice, that was his word.
He loved her.
He had once bragged to his friends that he had found his
bride.
She was never as sure as he was.
They lasted for about two years, and she went into a
season of deep poetry.
She hid herself from the world.
They thought that she was heart -broken.
She wrote some of her best poems during that time.
During the past three or so weeks I have been constantly reminding myself that it is important to set high standards and to try my best to maintain them.
[...]
I did not say to set impossible standards and die trying to live up to crazy ideals.
You set high standards when you understand that you are meant for great things.
You do not remain in a mediocre job, or relationship because you understand that you are worthy of better.
You push for excellence in your academic career, on the job, and in your relationships.
No situation will every be perfect and we won't ever get it all, but guess what, there is no reason for us to suffer through life.
When a situation or a relationship is below the standards you have set for yourself be bold and courageous enough to walk away.
Know that if He brought you to it He will take you beyond.
You just have to move.
Never settle for second best.
Today was a glorious day!
Whoever said island life sweet was not lying.
Left my home with two guys on what should have been a 30 minute trip to collect some items from a friend of mine who is visiting from the US...left the house a little after 1 and got back home minutes to 5.
We made a trip to Montreal just to prove that the road was 'circular'. Saw a sign about a spa decided to go take a look...found no spa headed back to the road. Here comes man with cutlass and fork, so we asked him about the spa...he said yeah man it down there not too far...we go look for the spa again with the strange man with weapons of mass destruction.

Top 5 Regrets of the Dying
After many years of feeling unfulfilled at her job, Bronnie Ware set out to find something that resonated with her soul. She ended up in palliative care where she spent many years helping those who were dying. Some time later, she compiled a list of the 5 most common regrets expressed by the people she cared for.
The list she collected gained huge popularity, and we are sharing it with you here today because it’s something all of us should keep in mind. Even though it can be hard to think about, this stuff is really important for your happiness right here and now!
1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
“This was the most common regret of all. When people realise that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made. Health brings a freedom very few realise, until they no longer have it.”
Every time a child says, "good morning", "thank you" or "please", I feel all warm inside...hmm after I get over the scare.

Today I realized I am not in this boat alone.
There I was in the supermarket with a one of my dearest friends when a young lady approaches us...
She says to my friend, "Miss? Could you excuse me please, I want to reach something that is behind you."
My friend grabbed her chest, I thought she was having a mini heart attack but the broad smile on her face suggested otherwise.
There is always someone living vicariously through another person.
Parents live vicariously through their children as if somehow their children are their saviours. Get it right with their children and their miserable existence is redeemed.
Friends live vicariously through each other. It is the safest way to live. Isn't it? If your friend succeeds you get to celebrate, jump and wave and enjoy their accomplishments. If your friend fails you get to be the shoulder to cry on, and your own life continues uninterrupted.

So there I was waiting in line for my food...if you know me you know I hate waiting in lines for food.
Woman next to me, is looking at me... lol now if you really know me you would know there is nothing I love more than to stare at people when they figure they could out stare me.
So the game was on.
She cracks. I WIN. She smiles. I say, "What?"
