Happy Holidays

May this Christmas be the first of many,

Each more joyous in our growing love,

Revealing more of happiness than any

Riches might provide or pain remove.

Years flow like an unrepentant river,

Carrying the soil of life away,

Holding far more than they can deliver,

Rushing past the certitudes that stay.

In love there is an instance of forever

So shy and lovely it eludes the eye,

The sense of being home when we're together,

More enduring than a reason why.

As love is born of passion, borne by will,

So may for many years we choose love still.

7 Weird things about me

1. I prefer the toilet seat up. All the time.
2. I can write with both hands, the right being more legible.
3. I cannot stand the smell of bleach.
4. I talk to myself all the time.
5. Of late I've been hearing things and end up answering questions that no one asked.
6. Confession time now. This is what I though from reading your blogs the first few times

Mutumia is male

laspapi is female

Guess male

Milo female

Am glad I did not keep the erroneous impressions for long.

7. Finally, in spite of the current state of the world I would not mind living long enough to see my grand children.

I would like to wish you all happy holidays, merry Christmas and a prosperous 2008.

To my fellow countrymen and women vote wisely.
