Help! My iPad ain't charging!

First Drafted: 29/6/14

I'm on 2%. iPad is on the verge of dying. This charger ain't doing nothing. I try again and again, to no avail. Changing the charger temporarily helped until another issue put my dated ipad to sleep for a couple of years, literally.

Two years down the line, with a new member of the family about to be 5 months. Finally my hubbie came to the rescue it was 2016. He managed to get the screen fixed which had been the last issue in 2015. Unfortunately, with a busy baby at large, the screen once again played up and the only answer was to send it back to the insurers. However due to complication my darling iPad once again sits quietly gathering dust till I perhaps replace it with a more recent model.

One can imagine the frustration I felt when the first jam happened. But the first thing I had to do was calm down. Being upset was definitely not going to help. The very
first thing was to try and get a solution. Then when option one didn't work out, the second option was tried. When that option didn't work and it was just blank and dead. I had to decide to move on.

How many times when certain situations turn into something we do not intend or want. For example being in a job you hate. An end of a friendship or a broken relationship. First step as I did with the iPad is try and see if there is a solution.What are the options? Then implement the solution. Go ahead and see if option 1 or 2 or even 3 would work. After trying and noting that the broken thing, relationship or unhappy work environment is not changing for the better. The best thing to do sometimes is to just calmly but steadfastly decide and choose to walk away.

In my later years, I have learnt to learn from all situations. Above all I have learnt to let go of all baggage and trauma that may be associated with such circumstance.

In short: in all situations keep calm whether things are going you way or not. Try and find a solution. And if need be let go and calmly move on with a clean heart and peace in your soul. Knowing you gave your all, you tried your best. However if its a toxic situation. The best thing to walk away as early as possible.

Where to from here? The Desert

There is no hope in the horizon. Engulfed in despair it’s easy to give in. However with the right attitude you CAN change ANY situation to your favour. It is the 3rd month of the year; very soon it will come to a close and with it perhaps you will be the shutting down your goals. You think, “What’s the point?” You have done all you could to materialize your dream; you have exhausted all avenues within your reach. You feel you are at a dead end. But what’s the point of giving up. What is the point of not doing anything? You do have a choice and the right decision is to keep at it. It does not matter if the sky may be grey for you. You might not have been born with a silver spoon in your mouth or with opportunities at your disposal. At your bleakest moment just remember, that the majority of millionaires and billionaires in the world are self made. Just like you and me they were once in your shoes. They struggled to pay their bills, some lost their homes and most were made redundant ...

9/1/18 The above is the date when I wrote the first 3 and a half paragraphs. As you might have read already. I am trying to play catch up or clean up which ever way you may prefer to look at it. So months ago I wrote the following: Let there be light. The words spoken by God when we created heaven and earth. It's Monday been stuck indoors with a strong willed, independent, yet dependent 17 month old.This Monday, felt like a gloomy Monday, the kind of strangely grey foggy day. The kind of grey that you, "can't shake off that sleepy feeling off" kind of Monday. Back in 2017, around the beginning of it actually, I had this kind of Monday on repeat for almost a week. So it felt a bit like dejavu. This is how a grey day looks like. One wakes up and gets swallowed up by chores, things to do, look after baby or babies, try to get a shower and use the toilet (yes, take a dump in peace and quite), make and eat food before the baby wakes up. And if love have a littl...

Where to, from here? -> The Wall

We're right at the beginning of the new year. You should be looking forward to it but you're not. You should be making some major changes that are so lacking in your character, but you're not. You should be taking the all important steps to bring stability and wipe away those debts but you don't. I hear you, it is not because you don't want to change things but you go on to explain that it's because you still don't have the tools to make the wrong in your life right. Last year you tried against all odd, eventhough you didn't have the so called tools or means to succeed, but you tried. You pulled yourself together and decided to change your LIFE! You had so much energy, so much drive. You had a few victories and these steered you on. Until, you came acoss some obtacles, you tried to look for the solution - to make this change happen- but none was within your reach. You knocked on doors until your knuckles turned white and bruised with fustration - mor...
