Midnight Motivations and Musings # 71

April 25, 2016 jacquelineobyikocha2 Comments

When we take a moment to think of the fact that the days of our lives are truly short, we should also take the moment to reflect on how we can live a more purposeful life.

If you are blessed to get to 90 years, that’s just 32,850 days. Viewed from the point of days, it’s not that long so each day spent counts.

Each day’s decision to live happy, to live well, to live and make positive impacts no matter how small, to live unselfishly matters….

It is these decisions that should shape our lives and not the decisions that we failed to make.

Live, Love, Be Happy!

Embittered…

April 25, 2016 jacquelineobyikocha19 Comments

Xavier stood in the shadowy background of the trees and waited for her.

He stared longingly at the house with the windmill. Embittered thoughts raced through his mind. He was surprised that he still seethed in silent rage.

No one would cheat him of his birthright and get away with it, not if he had anything to do about it.

Now it’s time to make good on his promise.

That cattle and land grabbing thief Alistair swindled his father when Pa was inebriated and took over their homestead. Pa killed himself. He died a broken drunk man and his Ma sent them all into servitude.

It took decades to get to this point. Years of working his fingers to the nub from an all errand’s boy on the ship to owning his own boat.

It took strategic planning to get into favour with Alistair’s only daughter Gwen.

He hadn’t planned on liking her but he won’t allow such feelings get in the way of his plans.

Tonight, he’ll coerce her to join him on the boat set sail with her. By the time they get back on dry land, she would be his wife.

Whispering tendrils…

April 25, 2016April 24, 2017 jacquelineobyikocha23 Comments

Fingers
caress her tender scalp
luxurious tendrils of auburn hair
are put in a twisted knot
‘I love you forever’
I whisper into her ears
shivery bumps run down her spine
as she sighs in dreamy reply.

Should I cry a tear a sweet poem written with love to the one *possibly* in his heart 😉

How do you do? I can relate to this post when that freezing despair grips your mind and this was my comment in quotes below. Chip in an advice.

Calm down! Take a day at a time. After work, relax a bit, then practice some deliberate thinking plan for just half an hour. What is the primary thing that you want to achieve. Just an activity or two per week that will lead you to where you want to be and in time, you will be in full throttle.

Shandra eats Shandra makes meals with recipes that are simple, easy to find and don’t break your pocket. Eating healthy is not too hard 🙂

Books and Lavender like the name implies, Silvia’s blog is one of the bilingual blogs’ that I have followed for quite a while, one for the eye-candy of delectable dishes and two for the books that she talks about.

Sandra Jackson the lovely author of Promised soul runs a blog that I am getting to know as the days go by and I like what I see. Take a peek.

What’s in the bag?..

April 25, 2016 jacquelineobyikocha16 Comments

Mundane Monday challenge is created to find beauty in almost everything.

The challenge is simple : find beauty in everyday mundane things, capture the beauty and upload the photographs.

Found on an offbeat track, it was sheer will that made me resist untieing the bag to see what was inside, but I couldn’t resist stepping on it with my trainers on my feet to get a feel. Was soft and squishy, heightened my sense of curiousity.

Midnight Motivations and Musings 70

April 24, 2016 jacquelineobyikocha11 Comments

Not all soil is good for planting due to its acidity or other toxic properties.

Likewise, not all circumstances that surround us will be supportive in nurturing you to the best of your potentials.

Sometimes, you have to make the smart decision and keep your dreams alive but away from toxicity.

Once you recognise such traits, it might not be easy to discard of such circumstances (they might be your family or job), but with wisdom, you can circumvent such characters and keep moving on without relent.
