    we all make mistakes

    I make a lot of mistakes. Who don't? It's really hard not to feel bad when we make a mistake. But if you talk with someone, it would help. When I was young, one time I was on duty to close my classroom's windows and door when the class was over but I forgot. When I was home, I felt very unhappy and worried about that. And then I told my mother and though it's late, my mother took me back to the school and asked the security guard to let me in and complete my duty. On the way home, my mother asked me whether I felt better now and I said yes. I love my mother so much. I can face all difficulties with her by my side. 20 August 2010, 01:59

    Recycling sending clothes i don't need to Africa

    Also rearranging my appartment. It would seem i have put a bag containing my bra's in the collection bin for Africa. As luck would have it i had 2 in the wash. Spent the morning in bathing suit waiting for the wash to finish.
    Posted this on my facebook . A quite funny conversation followed (I am not small in this department!), what uses can they make of my bra's in Africa....
    so far we have sun hats 2 for the price of 1. Slings for brokens bones or perhaps deterring wild animals , washing up bowls (ok this is an exaggeration!).
    Any other suggestions?     15 August 2010, 07:39

    I give and someone takes for me not thinking

    I pick a older woman (63) hitch hiking her way back home. She want taken to the nearest highway (no money for the train). I said if she was prepared to wait in my car whilst i attened my doctors appointment, i would help her.
    To cut a longer story short.... i took her to the train station and paid for her a ticket back home , on returning to my car there was a nice white paper stuck to my windscreen!. Train ticket cost 17 euros , parking fine cost 53 euros!!. OOPS silly me. Lesson stop think.     15 August 2010, 07:25

    Perfectionist

    I'm really hard on myself most of the time, so this one was a hard lesson to learn. But we can't be perfect 24/7, and sometimes the greatest insights come from mistakes. 26 May 2010, 16:58

    Take it easy

    I´m the kind of person who gets really stressed about making a mistake. My physics' teacher always told me: "Take it easy, relax". So this school year I decided, I would be more free. And i did it! I discovered that if we are more relaxed, we do things better. Right now I'm trying to socialize more. And I think I´m doing well. 04 January 2010, 04:43

    Spelling mistake

    I made a spelling mistake in my last post, but I think people still get the gist of my joke. I know I will be more careful next time. 11 November 2009, 18:59

    Dont Worry if you make a mistake


    I stupidly fell pregnant with my 3rd child when my 2nd was barely out of nappies. This had to be the mistake of my life I would always look back on and regret, so I thought - I was WRONG! The little bundle of joy I gave birth to on the 21st of Feb 08 is now the best thing that could have ever happened to me - he keeps me motivated and striving for higher goals. The best part is that he is a cheerful happy healthy little man, not to mention energetic and keeps the whole family in tact. I thank the Good Lord for allowing me to have this precious baby and hope that my story will inspire other mothers to be with \'mistakes\' on the way, keep the faith. There is a good reason for everything that happens.     01 April 2009, 05:31
