lemonade?

Pipes will leak after 20 years
Paints will discolour
Roads get worn out
Walls crack
Books turn yellow
It’s hard to preserve anything without effort.
If a problem stares at you in the face and you choose to avoid it, it will eventually wear and tear you down.
That night, I had a very long overdue chat with a friend at Coffee Club. For the past few weeks, I was angry, annoyed, frustrated and upset about an issue and somehow, talking about it was difficult. I couldn’t find the courage to talk about it but when my friend initiated it, I guess it stopped me from running around in circles. What did I know?
The expected brings new meaning, but it’s the unexpected that changes our lives. ☺
As I walked home after we departed, I found myself all teary because we weren’t there to share selectively. Instead, we shared about the stuff that bothered us, the lessons learnt, life’s new phase and gave each other the most frank opinions about everything. The chat that night took such a huge load off my shoulders and I thank God for the friendship. The sort of friendship where God is present in our lives so that we can rejoice together in good times and rebuke each other when our life become like jugs of lemonade.
Well, take to look for my cheesecake recipe… ☺
