RE: When Last Did You Break A Heart?

Hi Cat.... ...interesting blog....as per usual...
Personally I believe a heart that has never been broken is a heart that has never loved nor given of love...which is rather sad.
The truth is we live in an imperfect society made up of imperfect people which includes purposeful or inadvertent harm to others in our relationships romantic or otherwise.
A broken heart gives testimony to the fact that you have loved and lost which is far better than to say you have never loved nor experienced any loss....not that I'm saying it aught to be an experience to strive for or dish out in life....
Thanks for the thought provoking blog...

RE: When Love Comes Knocking At Your Door.

@Luke.... ..now that is a scary knock...eish

RE: When Love Comes Knocking At Your Door.

@Cat...for all those trapped behind closed doors may I recommend the following song ......

RE: When Love Comes Knocking At Your Door.

@Cat...unfortunately for some people love is like living in South Africa....our homes get robbed and broken into on a regular basis and it constantly feels as though our very sanctuary has been violated ...in our attempts to avoid these occurrences after awhile our home resembles a fortress almost impenetrable... ...just like some hearts after constant heartache.

Thanks for the sound good advice coming from your blog...

RE: Three Ladies

...I can so relate ..thanks for the laugh

RE: Gods personal letter to Cyrus

@Sharnah...your obvious love and passion for the word of God comes through in your posting but I must agree with Calmheartseeks...you need to enlighten and address questions put to you...we are all on a journey of discovering and growing in the knowledge of who God truly is and who we are...its ok to say you do not have all the answers but are willing to find out...you are privilege in the way you have come...now it is your turn to help others in the same way you were taught...I'll put my head on a block and say nobody told you to just go read the bible when you had questions.....

...but keep up the good work with your blogs so far...

one last thing though...could I ask you to please communicate the word of God in a version that people can relate to...Old King James just screams Colonialism...maybe try NKJV....or even better NIV...perhaps even be daring and knock yourself out with The Message Bible....

RE: Peace In Our Time.

@Cat and Luke.... its way past the pumpkin hour and you two are still up....you guys know what happened to "aspoestertjie".........the magic died leaving only ashes and empty wine glasses.....

RE: Happy People Have Faith

@serendipity615.....Hi there ...I tend to agree with you...In my own personal capacity I have found not only a peace but also a quiet joy as a by product of faith in God...life has this strange way of sending us a curved ball that hits us hard...but with faith in a God who is the same yesterday , today and forever you somehow manage to stand up and keep going...thanks for your uplifting blog...

RE: Setting The Record Straight.

@Cat..... nothing like a bird in the house to upset the apple cart.....Personally I thought of getting a special T-Shirt for my friend..... ......

RE: Setting The Record Straight.

@Cat...those birds are so accurate at imitating voices its amazing...Last year my brother passed away suddenly and on visiting my sister-in-law recently I kept hearing his voice and looked around expecting to see him only to realize it was that darn bird....

RE: Setting The Record Straight.

@Cat.....I have a friend who had an African Grey...he swears that bird was smarter than any other pet he ever owned...its the birds unique personality that endeared him to my friend... and the constant chatter as well...

RE: Anyone watching Cricket? India won.

Ai ai ....Luke sorry about the SA team not looking so good...but what an amazing atmosphere in the stadium

RE: Anyone watching Cricket? India won.

Oi....Luke...yup I only see paint drying...
hope your team wins tho....

To sell..or not to sell

@unlaoised...so like ekke you also have first hand knowledge of a good outcome from someone moving down to the coast and loving it...mmm interesting...more and more I think I'm leaning in that direction...for sure....thanks for sharing that positive note with me...

To sell..or not to sell

@KNenagh.... your mom is one blessed lady for sure....I would love to have my kids live close by and I would certainly invest in alterations to my property in order to accommodate and respect my children's privacy...but I have only daughters and the two older ones have chosen to life with their significant other and the youngest is hardly ever at home...soon out the door as well ...but we bring this on ourselves by rearing our kids to be independent.....

To sell..or not to sell

@Mrwilling.....mmm move to Australia?....like most South Africans I too can claim to have relatives in Aussie.... who have invited me over but I declined...somehow I can't see myself relocating way down under...even with all its political and economic instability South Africa still tugs at my heart strings....thanks for the suggestion tho...

To sell..or not to sell

@Wel....you are so right...as time goes on I'm finding it increasingly harder to take care of the house and the garden and yes without a family it is just an empty shell of memories....to hold on to something just for sentimental reasons will hinder you from moving on with your life and perhaps finding a new life.... one filled with potential joy and happiness...who knows but unless you let go you will never know what lies just around the corner for you....

To sell..or not to sell

@ekke...wow...that is encouraging to hear...you most certainly were very brave to tackle such a task..I'm very impressed and glad it worked out for you...thank you for your kind words..

To sell..or not to sell

@Ummka..thanks for the good luck..I'm going to need it for sure...

To sell..or not to sell

@Gentlejim...yes..as stated in my profile I do love my garden and home and every little nook and cranny is filled with dear and special memories...... of years gone by...
....I do however believe that I am now at a turning point in my life where its time to start afresh and make new memories somewhere else...
My younger formative years were spent down by the sea and yes Port Elizabeth was my home town...hence the first pic of where I recently spent a vacation...
I do still have family down there who are encouraging me to move back to the coast once again....ahh what a dilemma.. ...thanks for your great advice..makes total sense...

To sell..or not to sell

@Luke....oh my gosh I didn't think of that...I'm just a bit nervous about the commission fee Jarred might require for his most professional services...I'm not sure if I could afford it

To sell..or not to sell

@Angelpepper.... if I were to really dress my pets like that then they would be the first to yell...sell sell sell....
But you are right location is very important...an absolute must if you wish to make a return on your investment in the long term.

To sell..or not to sell

@zmountainman....awww man...maybe I should have called him agent Jarred...yes sir...estate agent Jarred for all your property needs...perhaps Jarred would like to add a 007 at the end of his name...

@Jarred...just kidding...I personally think its awesome of you to be able to sniff these things out...quite cool actually

To sell..or not to sell

@Red...wow 10 years adrift with CS as your only home base ...amazing...but I sure wish you with all my heart all the best in your new place...I really hope you settle down there and your home will be filled with lots of joy and laughter....

To sell..or not to sell

@woodenjc...I know it is good to be able to leave property for your children to inherit and I am very blessed in this regard...but does it have to be my current home or can it be a small place down by the sea where perhaps I would be more content and happy?.... ..but thank you for you advice anyway

To sell..or not to sell

@danielangelvega...mmm Bed & Chair.... now there's an idea..maybe I can rent a portion of my property to them and cater for the overflow....verrrrry clever Mr D....

To sell..or not to sell

@Luke....your advice is sound as always my friend... it is always wise to take your time when making important decisions like this one.....regret later on could make for a poor bed fellow worse than no bed fellow in a large empty house.....

To sell..or not to sell

@enigma2....yes I agree I alone will have to make the call in the end...but someone once pointed out to me that perhaps the kids would far more enjoy visiting me if I had a place down by the sea...

To sell..or not to sell

@benni2....yes you are right once again....perhaps its time to make new memories....
