It has been many wonderful years of life together and we (my twin and I) have so much to be thankful for: *The gift of life. *Extremely wonderful parents. *A handsome and loving brother. *Her- A loving husband and daughter. *Me- A great brother in law and beautiful niece. *Great cousins, uncles and aunties. *So many more wonderful blessings that it will be impossible to list them all! Wishing my twin and of course myself today a very happy Birthday!

Thankful for 2010

I will not resurrect the ghosts of christmas past for in doing so I may just dissolve in tears. It is another Christmas and I am alone without my family! It is difficult hearing their voices over the phone, the excitement, the chatter, the plans of celebrations, the clatter of spoons, forks and knifes against plates, the unrestrained laughter that flows through the space and fills my room with more longing for home. It is difficult knowing that once again the christmas chicken will be bought and dressed in spices and cooked slowly to make it succulent and only my imagination can bring to life its sweetness in an empty pot! No fanta or coke in bottles to wash down the jollof rice that was prepared specially for the christmas morning. There will be no christmas trees- plastic or artificial for its not our custom to adorn the branches of a tree.

Just wanted to show you pics of my new kindle. It has been on my wish list for over a year and finally someone who loves me decided to give me an early xmas/birthday present! I have already downloaded more than 20books from amazon, thank God for free books on amazon. The only but is that they are all classics! Awuf de run belle:)) Anyway Im spending my time to and from work more productively, I started reading Anna Karenina and im 52% of my way through it! Yes the Kindle tells you what proportion of the book you have read! It also has the beauty of starting you right were you left off, no more do I have to have a bookmark or bend the pages of a book to mark my page. Its light weight! Its a 3G/wifi kindle so I can download my books even when there is no internet access! Anyone can buy me books,kindle books are much cheaper than the hardcovers! I have already received an early birthday present-a kindle gift certificate from amazon! So if you are still looking for what to get me, look no

211-215 Another year gone by and the beginning of a new year for me. A Kindle, a kindle someone who loves me bought me the device that was on my wish list!And I thank God for the person who bought me the kindle (ile ise yin o ni jona o, Amin, Olorun a ma ro ibukun laiye yin:) A Savior who has been in exactly the same spots I am in now, who understands how discouraged I am, who knows that this momentary light affliction is for just a while and who stands by me through it all! A reason to celebrate! A day off from work on my birthday:) For the first time since I started working, Im not going to work on my birthday, its been added to the New year celebrations as time off from work for everyone!
