Memories

By Kath -

I've never really liked talking about myself - I absolutely love talking about my husband, my kids and everything and everyone that is attached to me - but the me is quite difficult to be explained, so here goes -
I am Kathy Goddard trying to introduce myself to you...


Somebody once said that I have a lot of clutter (I felt embarrassed at that moment - but then thankfully he continued) not clutter like in no order - just a lot of memories that can be taken out at random and be remembered quite specifically.

Obviously since then I actually noted with much amazement that he was right - (this was during a prophecy so of course it should have been so).

I can dredge up something from the past s if it happened yesterday - but don't be fooled - I am more forgetful than most - I can forget what I wanted to say in the middle of saying it!

Memories are amazing trips throughout your life that can bring a smile to your heart and your face, at times a tear to your eyes and a tinge of sadness to the heart and other times it can just bring up anger or annoyance.

Memories don't just follow where you want to lead - sometimes they take you by surprise.

The day your mom showed you the ropes in the kitchen
A moment when your dad's hand rested on your head in a loving gesture
The moment you first laid eyes on him
The day he asked you to be his wife
Your wedding day
The birth of a child - those first moments
The first smile on his/her face
The death of a loved one
A family gathering
An argument between friends
A moment of deep dissapointment
The exact moment when God made something specific happen

All of these make up what we call memories...

My baby boy and I
I love my memories - bad/good/exciting/sad/  they all bring about a different emotion which makes up the person that I am and as you follow my blog you will get to know the person that is called Kathy Goddard....

My RLabs Mom's Journey

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.
