On arriving at our class last week, we found ourselves in darkness. We were not sure what we were going to do because everything goes around computers. We proceeded to do something different, and the project was about "thinking out of the box". Our thinking has been influenced so much by the Greeks and it was so good to hear more about application, which is the Jewish way of thinking. We were given a bag of goodies to have a look at and see what we could do with it other than the norm. It was so interesting to see what people came up with. We have been so conditioned to the fast world we living in as most things just happen with the push of a button that we tend to become lazy. I've personally applied some of the pointers we we given last week. I took time out for myself. After leaving the class on a Saturday I normally go home and get into the swing of things, like cooking for the family. My husband thought out of the box, instead of seeing me cook a meal, he took me for a drive, and a run on the beach with the dog which was so refreshing. One would swear he was in the class with us. I've started to journal as well. It's amazing how different I felt after writing down my feelings. We as woman are so busy doing so much that we don't always express ourselves and end up bottling up our feelings. So thanks for encouraging me to do what I often did when the kids were much younger.

Hi all, I am Salma Richards,a parent with 3 adult children. I am told I am a chatterbox,empathetic and determined{just a bit slower}. My interests are reading,gardening,home crafts and the outdoors.It took an accident that happened 16 years ago to make me realize that the choices we make will determine the quality of life we will lead.It was, and is a long, hard road to get to where I am today. Imagine,having to learn to write,walk,remember,eat,cook,dress and just about everything we teach a toddler to do, well it took me 16 long,trying and very difficult years to become the person I am today! I have now realized it's my Creators mercy at giving me a real second chance at life .I now try not to offend people and also to be more tolerant because my family and friends had the patience to guide and teach me simple things that you would take for granted.Thank you once again to RLabs facilitators and all who in the past and present taught,helped and guided me.MWAH.

Good afternoon world on a lighter note,on wednesday we took our seniors around the peninsula.Our first stop was Sea Point opposite the SABC offices. Where our seniors enjoyed a snack.thereafter we went to Hout Bay where they stretched a bit.Some of our seniors interacted with the coons.Our aunty Ellen,Vicky Jonck and Freda Davids enjoyed dancing with the coons.We then went back to Maidens Cove where we served them lunch.After lunch we served them fruit and some doughnuts and juice.We then boarded the busses at 3.05 and was taken on the beach road for some more sightseeing.when we got back to the centre,our seniors were all handed a gift before they went to their respective homes.What an awesome experience.
