Gratitude

By -
This was another wonderful week of discovery and enlightenment.. I was lamenting on the fact that this world had become such a selfish place to live in and that everyone was just involved in their own self interests and did not care for each other any more.. Well as it happens, I'm also one of those selfish people.. I was looking for sympathy and attention and wanted all focus to be shifted to me.. I sent a message to a good friend of mine in which I communicated this feeling in no uncertain terms.... "I'm tired of thinking of others and putting other people's needs before my own", I said. "Just for today, it's going to be all about ME. I'm going to be as selfish as everyone else and just think about MYSELF".



Well..... I started thinking,,, that is why the world is the way it is. My attitude was not solving anything!!! Introspection revealed that I was busy losing my ability to empathise with others... Then I started thinking about everything that I can be thankful for... THE LIST IS ENDLESS!!!!!!

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.
