For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.
{ Moeg En Oorlaai? }
Almal van ons is uniek en het ons eie sterk punte. Ons is elkeen goed op ons eie unieke manier. Hoe vervelig sou dit nie gewees het as almal alles ewe goed kon doen nie ! Wie moet dan wat doen ? Daar is so baie goed op aarde wat moet gebeur, en daar is 'n "doener" vir elke ding.
As jy so daaraan dink, is dit eintlik sinneloos om op jou swak punte te fokus. Konsentreer eerder op dit wat jy goed doen, soday jy daarin beter kan word. As dit is om die beste kleremaker te wees, doen dit. Of as dit is om 'n kleurryke, interessante ma vir jou kinders te wees, doen dit. Geen mens op aarde is minderwaardig teenoor 'n ander een nie. Al is dit die boodskap wat jy soms kry, dit is onwaar.
Die lewe is 'n ondekkersreis, een waarop jy jouself ook leer ken. So, sien elke dag uit daarna om agter te kom wie jy is en waarheen jy op pad is. En die belangrikste van alles......geniet die proses.

[ The Light Inside Of You }
You were born with a light inside of you. And when you die it will go wherever you
go. This light is shining in you at all times. And even if you can't see it yourself, it is
shining out on others. No matter what you think or feel or have been told or
believe, that light cannot be dimmed. It cannot be extinguished. It is yours and
yours alone. And it waits patently to be acknowledged by you so that you can live
your life KNOWING that it is there. And in that knowing allow it to shine ever
MORE brightly.
{ House By The Sea }
{Southbroom Beach}
I opened up my bedroom window this morning and awoke to the smell of the sea. It was heavenly. The fact that I could smell the salt in the air surprised me. But then I remembered, oh yeah, we live just a few blocks away from the ocean.
Since I can't see the ocean from our home, sometimes I forget my true geographical location. Sounds silly, I know. But this simple realization completely brightened my morning. I literally live in a house by the sea.
Trust that everything will be ok. That's called faith
Work with happiness. That's called enthusiasm
Give the best of yourself. That is called excellence.
Help those with more difficulties than you. That is called compassion
Understand that not everybody is at your level. That is called tolerance.
Receive prase with gratitude. That is called humility
{ My Mothers ...... My Friends }
My Best Friend
You've been there for me
through the good times and bad
I know I can count on you
to be there when I'm sad
Life without you
just wouldn't be right
I wouldn't be able to get through
each day and night
When I've had a bad day
I know that you're only a call away
When life takes that crazy turn
You are always there to help me learn
We've had so many good times together
I know we'll be best friends forever
No matter where we are
I know we'll never be too far
You're my idol, my mother, my friend
We'll be together till the end
Even when we're old and gray
You'll be here still,
to help me get on my way
{ 1 Year Old }
That's right! One year ago this past week I decided to start a blog--and here I am! Believe me when I tell you that I didn't really know what a blog was. But I kept hearing about them and finally I asked someone to help me set it up. (Thanks, Sontjie!) I figured that if I could ever get the hang of it, I could use it to share some inspirational thoughts with all my family and friends. And so “Inspirations from the Oosthuizen’s “blog was born.
I have to admit that it got off to a slow start. I did a few posts that first week in June and hoped someone would read them. Someone did--a few of my family members tried very hard to boost my morale. In fact, that whole first year was rather slow. I read other blogs and found them so attractive. I kept thinking that there had to be a way to "jazz" mine up a bit but I really lacked the confidence to try--had no idea how to add photos!
After the first year I decided to get brave and was determined to figure out how to post photos. I know, I know! There are directions but somehow trying to read them and follow them all at the same time wasn't easy. Once I figured that out, however, my blog began to take on a personality. Then I became fascinated with the "Add a Gadget" feature and my sidebar began to grow. This blog was moving from a new born to becoming a toddler and....here I am one year later, having had a few facelifts!
One of the most wonderful features of my blog is not so much how much I post but the inspirational words in every single blog. I thoroughly enjoy reading posts on the blogs I follow and I continue to be honoured that I have family and friends that read my blog. You'll never know how excited I get when I see a “comment” or a “like” when I add a post on my Facebook page.
And so my journey into the blogosphere continues with every day bringing something new. The experience has truly convinced me that it is a "small world after all." Special blessings to all who have been reading my blog, hope it has inspired you.
