Pastel’s blog

Why do you think it is some people don't get along with you?

I tend to be the centre of attraction as I am bubbly, outspoken and strong-willed. Some people find it threatening and do not warm up to me. It used to bother me a lot as I was always concerned on how people perceive me. I will be 40 in two weeks time and no longer care what people think. It's their loss.

A friend forwarded some pics of a horrific accident on the N1 highway yesterday. A wine container lost control and dragged a car for 20 metres before crushing it as flat as a pancake. The highway was closed for most of the day. A mother and her 18 year old daughter were travelling in that fateful car. Tragically they did not make it. My thoughts are with them and their families...

Horrific Accident

I have for many years wanted to start a blog but never had the time to commit to keeping one up. Not that I have the time now, but life is going fast and if I do not start I probably will never. I am a career-wife-mother all rolled into one. At most times feeling guilty for having a career or rather the fact that I need to have a career. My life is full - a supporting husband and two sons. First born is in 2nd year at law school. He is my responsible, hardworking, loyal and at times conservative boy. The younger one is my free-spirited, loving and caring teenager. Still in high school and is high maintenance at the moment. More on that later. They say that the first blog entry is difficult, indeed it is! Well, this is a bummer of a first entry...
