The Simplest Life Possible.

This weekend I had not made plans to go visit a children home that I volunteer at but my plans fell through and I ended up there.

Let’s just say my weekend was one of belly laughter until my stomach hurt.

There is this lovely lady who works there and since she works in shifts, either day or night I found her there and as the day came to an end we went home together. She has embarked on a project of rearing pigs and on Saturday she was carrying the left over food for her piglets and that is what began my laughter.

We give too much worry in things when the simplest plan is usually what works best. My friend put the food in multiple Plastic paper bags, tied a piece of cloth around it and swung it on her back and we proceeded to where we were to take the bus and what got me is that it started raining and since I had a small umbrella I explained to her that it could not cover both of us and her answer is the one that got me bent over with laughter.

She explained to me that she does not have any work for umbrellas and that she never carries one no matter what and she went ahead to ask me why trees don’t use umbrellas and she said that  she had no  time to waste using one.

We got to the bus stop and she squeezed herself in the bus and was so ready to get to her pigs, she was soaking wet without a care in the world. Her goal was to get her pigs fed period and anybody who had a problem with that was not her concern.

I needed the belly laugh, she made my weekend. Simply living.

Personal sabotage,

I had a cold during the weekend and in a way I am glad that I am finally back to my old self and for a moment I forgot how it is to be just fine and healthy and so today I am in a thankful mood.

When I was getting to work this morning I remembered an incident that made me question the way we relate with others.

There was this gentleman who used to come to my place of work when I was relatively new there and he would nag me to go to see his house every time he came back, on a day that I was feeling very generous I agreed to go with a friend of mine and the only condition I asked was that no alcohol was served in his house.

On the material day, my beautiful friend and I were to go to his house and once he came to meet us at the allocated place, I introduced my friend to him and he looked very uneasy but I just put it down to general nervousness of a guy meeting a beautiful woman for the first time.

When we got to his house, a nice welcome had been made for us and plenty to eat and drink was available and some of his friends were around.

After refreshments we all got to sit and get to know each other and what I found suspicious is that the host kept adding water to his soda and when I asked for some that is when I found out that he was actually adding  an alcoholic drink to the soda, that broke my agreement with him.

That is the only condition that I had requested and to even make matters worse, he completely ignored me and concentrated on my friend. since I had already made my decision on where the relationship was going, I just decided to have a good time and we left with my friend at the end of the day.

My question to date remains, if he was interested to know me why would he sabotage the one chance that he got?
