Wow it seems that times does fly. Whatever we are going through remember that the phrase "these too shall pass". Life has different terrains, from the valley to the hills, to the plain, to the brooks, the sea, the lake, the wilderness, the dessert.
We can learn so much from the unseen/uknown God from the things he has made. He is the master of the universe.
A year today I put up my first post on Blogsville starting a most interesting, educational, engaging and roller coster ride journey. Though my profile says April, it took till May to finally put up a post and figure out what to write.
My blog introduction sounds nothing like what my blog gist/journey has been. Why? Answer is also in my introduction .... he started a new thing in me.

we've come to realise more than we ever thought we'd get from blogging. new friends, sisters and satisfaction at knowing that those weird things about us and those things we go through arent so bad anymore, cos there are people here who go through the same and are willing to leave encouraging words which are really more than words but soothing balms.
happy cheers to many more blog posts from you!!!!

What if that doesn't read like a critique of a Ph.D thesis? ;)
Appreciates!
Congrats! You sound like me.
Was just teasing. I know i'm number 3, right/
Only a year...it feels like ages. Honestly, your blog is a blessing. I told you that whenever I come here it's like my whole mood just changes. I laugh and smile and remind myself that I have a God who never fails. Even my mama reads your blog. Remain blessed and keep blogging
@Naapali, Thanks and yes your spot is right behind UCS.
@Aloofar, don't tempt me to come back and continue with my summation on perception being reality. You are welcome
@Lady a, thanks
@UCS, right you can stop guessing, my fellow, teammate e.t.c.
@Believer, wow I am so floored and humbled by your comment. Thanks
Awwwww...happy one year anniversary!!!!!!!
Guessing was so much fun...the one I'm sure of is he who made you laugh so much when u got on blogsville. Mr Fineboy??? Lolllllllllll!!!! (Ok, thinking abourrrit...there are many other funny characters on blogsville sha...but I'm already giggling just saying "Fineboy").
I just wanted to say you have a very very lovely blog...and I love the way you've built your character within this period of blogging. Wow, beautiful!!!
The one who I admire as intelligent: Naapali or Atutupoyoyo?
Memo to 30+: It's Imiete in my language btw...so which one is me? LOL...wishful thinkin eh? You blog has been an escape for me sometimes you know...
How are you these days...missed reading your blog so I decided to drop a line...1 love.
egbon mi, just to let u know nyemoni had a baby boy this morning. Remain blessed
I just came to smile on, lol
Congrats babe!!!!! We thank God that you have been blogging for a year and wish you many more blog anniversaries and excellent life accomplishments.
I tried to figure out the people you were referring to. I think I got Naija Fineboy re: making you laugh. Am I right? Good, send me my prize immediately! lol!
3 MEN GO INTO A HOTEL.
THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK SAID THE ROOM IS $30
SO EACH MAN PAID $10 AND WENT TO THE ROOM.
A WHILE LATER THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK REALIZED THE ROOM WAS ONLY $25
SO HE SENT THE BELLBOY TO THE 3 GUYS' ROOM WITH $5.
ON THE WAY THE BELLBOY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SPLIT $5 EVENLY BETWEEN 3
MEN,
SO HE GAVE EACH MAN A $1 AND KEPT THE OTHER $2 FOR HIMSELF.
THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9 FOR THE ROOM, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF $27
ADD THE $2 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = $29.
WHERE IS THE OTHER DOLLAR?
I don read this post since but blogger no let me comment.
