Changes!

They're obviously good for us..

The New Year is such a good time to grow, take stock of life, see where you're going, stretch, think outside the box..etc.

Besides the big changes I'd like to see (I'm being evasive on purpose), I'd like to change a lot of little things about myself; how I relate to people on this blog, for instance..I've been so busy relaying news (which of course is the most interesting), that I've not taken time to express myself about myself...not droning on & on w/ senseless "self-talk", but more like sharing a life-lesson that might help someone else who's going thru the same thing, or give a bit of advice that may help someone avoid making a certain mistake I may have made...being deep, basically..

2 of my friends I link to, have done a good job of that of late..

Happy New Year 2009!

Let me welcome you all to the New Year by sharing with you some of the txt messages I got from my friends throughout Nigeria yesterday & today...(each typed up exactly as appeared on my phone..) enjoy!

Hapi new yr!
Wishin u a blessed yr, God wil perfect his divine wil in ur life, laughter n joy ll be ur companion always n may ur dreams cm true!

Hi, dear,
I don't know what 2009 holds 4 u - but I kno HIM who holds 2009 _ He Whose Arms protects, Whose Help Assures, Whose Wisdom Guides, Whose Words...

GRACE. ABILITY. KNOWLEDGE. FORTUNE. WISDOM. SPEED. ACCURACY. A 7-fold increase. Brace yourself! Raise the Praise! Accept my congratulations! It's your wonderful 2009!

I may need help to understand this one:

Get up&open d tap how many drop of water can u count? So shal ur blesings be dis NEW YEAR, becos it's ur yr of recovery & U SHAL TAKE BACK UR POSESSION amen

concentrate 4 this one...

Where d eagles fear u'l dare, whre odas fail u'l suceed, d sky shl b ur springboard & d LORD shl be ur strngth. Welcome 2d LIGHT of ur horizon. hapi new yr.

This one a cute concept, I thot:

Welcome on board December Airways, U are on boeing 031 days and we'll be flying @ 100 degrees success & 30,000 ft above failure. Tighten ur seat belt & relax as we r about to take off with Capt Jesus in d cockpit. U &* ur's will surely land safely @ 2009 airport. Bon Voyage!

Finally the classic of all.. this one sent to Mary by one of the doctors that participated in 2 of our medical camps last year..:

May u live long like corruption in Nig. May ur blessings increase like fuel price in Nig. May ur generosity spread like poverty in Nig. May ur enemies fall like Naira against d Dollar. May ur happiness rise like unemployment in Nig. May u move freely like criminals in Nig. May u never fail like P.H.C.N. and may all our prayers be accepted like election riggin in Nig. I wish u a better 2009.
