I grew up without a dad cause he passed away 32 years ago. Almost all my memories revolve around Mum who has been  My Strength, My Comfort, My Solace, My Role Model, My Everything! Life was harsh on her, she became a widow at just 37. She was a school teacher earning a meagre salary, had four young girls to raise, the oldest of us being only Eleven. Mum's responsibilities increased greatly with the passing of my dad. However, being the kind of person that she is -  She never gave up!  She ploughed on, shouldering the responsibility of bringing up four young girls determined to make it despite innumerable shortcomings.

He also informed us that we would be given a simple construction task to complete during our Dive. As soon as I saw that email, I knew I had to do the Dive. I remember Darren & Brendan, our Directors telling me a year ago that we will be doing this sometime down the lane. And true to their word it was to happen. Days passed by however I still hadn't confirmed that I was doing the dive. I needed to make sure that I was not neglecting work before I signed up, so I

It was just a week ago on October 20th - A  “Monday” . I noticed various posts shared (on social network) of how much people hate Mondays & how depressed they are to go to work. It seems to me that a good percentage of people to have a problem with  "MONDAYS" . I get it cause I have been there a few times, however as I was travelling to work that morning it occurred to me that   Monday's aren't so bad after all! In fact  Mondays  give me a Renewed Perspective, a Fresh Start & a New Beginning! I couldn't help but wonder why people loathe Mondays so much and as the day breezed by I kept thinking about it. I realised that it probably wasn't  MONDAYS  that was the problem, the real issue was definitely something more.  Here's why I think people may hate Mondays; They've had a  Busy Weekend:  Probably they feel their weekend was too short since it was hectic & they were unable to get enough time to recharge in order to begin the n
