it is raining cats and dogs today. the weatherman says that its a tropical wave which might develop into something stronger. so I'm just inside watching the rain do its thing.

I love the way the land looks after it rains By the way. Everything just looks so fresh and new. Its like the earth just got a wash and polish!!

Is there such a thing as an honest politician? Can we really say that we believe in our politicians? Do people get into politics to make the world a better place or to make their lives better. With everthing gong on in the world today can we truly trust someone running for a political office?

I think that a teacher is one of the persons with the greatest influence on the life of an individual. Especially when you are at a very yong age. Some teachers fail to realise how important a part they play in shaping he lives of their students. This is why i believe that teachers should be recruited carefully and that they should be thoroughly screened before being allowed any part in educating others, especially our youth.

It is such a great thing to be able to say that you have true friends. People sometimes take friendships for granted because for them it happens so easily. i recently ment a young man who confessed that he had no friends. He didn't speak to any of his siblings and he didn't talk to any one unless it was unavoidable. I felt such sadness for him because, although I don't show it most of the time, I couldn't imagine my life without my friends and family. I don't know how he can. So I now am going to be his first friend and I hope that that will open him up to the world and that he will be able to say that he has more than one friend in his life.
