I started a new job last week and I am grateful to God for
the new job because I was not happy with my previous job. I am loving my new
job so far, my workmates are friendly people and I already feel as if I have
been with the company for a long time and yet it has only been 10 days. I
particularly like one of the ladies that I share an office with because she has
this positive outlook on life and she is very encouraging. She will be leaving
in less than two weeks for her maternity leave and I am going to miss her. The
other day we were talking about our lifetime to do lists and it turned out she
is as crazy as I am because she also has a long list of things that she would
like to do in her lifetime. Whilst I might have a long list of things that I
would love to do in my life time, I have also managed to do quite a lot such
that some of the things once on my list have been ticked off. God has been very
good to me. Here are some of the things that I have managed to tick off my lifetime
to do list:

through life.
