Change!

Speaking of former school mates it's good to see those that I have seen - actually those that I have bumped into in town. One was kind enough to com and pick me up one Sunday afternoon to show me around town. If you think Kenyans are starving think again - I saw guys who were well fed (obese?) and driving some good cars. By the way it was a lady who came to pick me up - reversed roles!?

It’s that time once again to count the cost of life in this fast ending year. Certainly I think as you grow older days become shorter and years just fly by in the blink of an eye. Remember when growing time stood, still those were the days – actually all we knew was 30 seemed so far.

Regrets? None so far I believe what I’ve been through it was for a reason – it made me who I am at the moment. The mistakes I made have taught me a lesson; hopefully I will not make the same mistakes again. Certainly I’ve learnt a lot – for one I am not just looking for a job to pay the bills. It’s both scary and reassuring that whatever I had prayed for I actually got it. The scary part is being unnecessarily ‘humble’ and asking/aiming low, you get what you want and soon loose interest. When I was coming back home I thought to myself that I will not be too choosy and grab whatever came my way.

The best part I guess is dreams do come true at least for me – I did not have like the highest paying job but I managed to put some aside, so far this has helped me. Mum is moving to her new house soon I’m glad I am here to see her make the big switch. It does not really matter that I’m homeless at the moment; well at least it feels like that.

Let’s live it once again! It has been a year of change and the greatest contribution will always be the ones you leave behind. So in one word how can I describe the year? CHANGE! They have been many from my personal life to Obamamania. The biggest manifestation has to be the way people are tired and are more in your face kind of confrontation with the political establishment. On the other hand it was the year of unparalleled uncertainty

When you reach the point you feel you cannot take it any longer my advice – it’s time to change! And the change goes on – I cannot say with certainty where I will be come the new year.
