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.

Habits

There are good habits and there are bad habits.  Most of the time it's the bad habits that tend to infiltrate into our daily routines and they seem to stock to you stonger than superglue.  To take themout of your life takes more energy and determination than you can imagine. I read an article about habits in the Monthly FIA magazine which spoke about a young chap called Stefan who had struggled with a drinking problem for years.  His other bad habit was jumping from one girl to the next, as soon as he got what he wanted, he would move onto his next conquest. When he decided to change his habits, he realised that he had to change his environment first.  So he took a drastic decision of moving from sunny St Lucia to the icy cold England.  Leaving behind all his friends helped because they would have easily influenced him to go back to the destructive cycle of drinking and womanizing. You might be thinking well my bad habit does not hurt anyone.  I just arr...

Hello... Anybody There?

It's been a while, I know. Been meaning to write or at least upload my vlogs on here. Yet it has been me chasing time. Me against procrastination. Getting over the apparent wall, called the writers block. And the bottom line is: belief, self assurance and trusting your inner self. And above all trusting in God. For a while now, I have had the distinct urge to write, to document, to share my 2 cents with the world. Or a few who will somehow wonder onto this platform. So I decide right here, right now. To cut down dramatically my Netfliximg and chill time. And focus on my apparent calling. I have been put to the point of discomfort, when from time to time, I would hear deep from the inner realms of my being " write, go on, just write, you gotta write - now!"  Floating in and out of consciousness ideas and stories cry out to free themselves and be heard. Even if, just to seen by the write herself. Today I choose to brush aside the temporary discomfort of getting my w...

L I G H T

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...
