The next decade....what's in store?
Musings of a yamfooted traveller still trying to shake off those last 30 pounds as she treks across the Caribbean
All you need is a catalyst to bring about a shift in thinking, and suddenly, Yamfoot is thinking like an entrepreneur to rahtid.
Don't know if anything will materialize, but one can only explore....ent?
And y'all doing. Blogging seems to be on the decline, from all 'bout. Nuh true?
I never heard about this Jamaican athlete before Olympic trials last year where she bumped Veronica Campbell-Brown out of an automatic place on the team. I have been watching her progress since then and she seems like a real down to earth young woman who is grateful for the gift God has given to her.
She returned home recently after her good showing on the circuit and at the World Championships in Berlin.
Here are two articles about her return.
I asked this question a couple years ago, to find out who was checking in to my blog.
I am asking it again. Who's reading? Where are you reading from?
Don't be shy now!
When the world around you seems to be falling apart, how do you respond?
Do you retreat into a shell of depression?
Do you lift your chin up, say to yourself that it could be worse...at least you have life still, dust yourself off, learn from your mistakes and forge ahead?
How do you handle adversity and challenges? Do you need that to make you a better person?
Ok, maybe 'liar' sounds too harsh. Have you ever met somebody whose word you cannot trust?
It's a pretty remarkable experience, when a person constantly promises things - doesnt matter what - and then does not carry out the promised action. Of course Caribbean workmen are like that....tailors too. But when it is somebody who professes to be a friend, it is pretty darned frustrating to be on the end of the undone action.
And no matter how you bring up that this frustrates you, this action still happens. Nuh time to dash dem weh? What yuh seh? You agree with me?
Seriously though, I take my word very seriously. If I tell somebody, and it doesnt have to be a friend, that I am going to do something - whether it's call at X time, drop off Y thing etc - then I will do it. And if something important prevents me from doing it, I am going to call the person to explain what I can or cannot now do. I think it is a very simple thing and shows respect and consideration for the other person.
I'm not normally in Jamdown during September, but my workplace is closed for the month of September, so might as well mi did come.
I still have work to do anyway, so brought lots of books with me. In fact, I brought too many. Suitcase weighed 42 lbs....not leaving me too much space to put plenty Grace Premium Mackerel and Grace Ackees. If you have never tried Grace Premium Mackerel, do so now, without delay. The quality is excellent and you will be supplying your brain with healthy Omega - 3s.
