The past 3 days have been very laid back and relaxing, its like a continuous weekend! I enjoyed that for sure and Im sure everyone else did. But I so wish that I was around my family - my sisters and my parents. The thing is I am miles away they are in South Africa and I am in the UK!!! Its just sooo sad -there are so many things that are going down back home and I am not THERE!! For instance there are 3 new additions in my family- of 2 girls and 1 boy and they have never laid eyes on me. I'm sure when I go home for a visit they will be like 'who the heck are you??' I wouldn't blame them you know, I haven't been home for almost two years now. I know, I know that is a long time and I am promising myself that it is the first and last time that I am staying away from home for such a long period of time. I have actually spoken to people who haven't been to their home countries for over 6 years on end!! It's really sad because they are missing out on so much and they don't even realise it.
What I miss from Mzansi besides my family is the beach, my relatives, people of SA and the fab food!! South Afican food has so much variety mainly because we have so many differnet cultures and many different native tribes on top of that we have 11 official languages! I only know 4 of out of the 11 but I am fluent in only 2. "Mental note-have to be fluent, "in the other 2 languages".
Going back to why we have been able to chill at home and be off from work on Friday and Monday (except for few that had to work on those holidays, sorry mates). It is because thousands of years ago there was a man who changed history and literally changed the calender. When He died that's when the calender was restarted - nobody's death has ever had the same effect on the whole world like Him.
The best part of all He didn't do what he did for himself but for the human race those who would accept what he did and then live in His footsteps. Do you know what will happen to you when you die?? Or you don't even think about death at all -- because it brings the chills down your spine or perhaps you think you are too young to die. Whatever your beliefs or theories about what happens after death. There is one reliable source for the confirmation of where you will spend the rest of eternity and you know what I don't deserve it but it is a Gift from Him who changed Time and the calender we use.
Its all in your hands. Where do you want to spend eternity? Or are you taking the risk of waiting until you die and then you see what will happen??
