As per previous posts I’ve done, inspired by Being Brazen, I will answer a few random questions, then you will also answer them in my comments section.  I always have so much fun doing these, and you guys participate so nicely I figured they will now become a regular feature on this here blog:)

I wish…….I wouldn’t let you get to me and that the insults and stabs you take at me wouldn’t hurt, but they do
Work….should not be allowed to rule your life…I’m still struggling with this one and am a workaholic at the best of times, but I’m working on it
Friends…..are the most incredible gifts and are meant to be treasured and loved…I’m trying my best to make the people who are special to me feel that they are appreciated and cared for
I am…..right now…truly happy, some of the happiness is because of certain things and people, but  large part of it is just simply because i am
Grace and mercy….is something i show to the people around me easily, but i don’t have much grace and mercy for myself..this needs to be changed
I have….come to realize the value of good company, sometimes good food and always a good red wine.
Next year….brings with it a lot of uncertainty and much excitement

Now you answer them:)

Love
Ruby

I’ve decided to include the lyrics of one of my favourite recent songs as it is currently stuck in my head:)

*after some thought and consideration i’ve deleted the first part of the letter.  Ultimately this is what i wanted to tell her…so this can stay*

You’re heading back home to go live with your parents.  Johannesburg hasn’t been good to you, and i think at heart you remained a small town girl and never adapted to the big city.  I honestly hope that you are happy.  I pray that you find a job where you are happy with people that understand you.  I hope that you are successful and that life turns out good for you.

Best of luck to you!
Ruby

As per a previous post I’ve done, inspired by Being Brazen, I will answer a few random questions, then you will also answer them in my comments section.  I had so much fun doing the last one, and you guys participated so nicely I figured i would do another one:)

I am….going through a bit of a lonely patch…very unusual for me and I’m not exactly enjoying it
Right now….I’m quite sad as a friend of mine that was 5 months pregnant lost her baby:(
Love….can be so overwhelming and powerful and yet so gentle at the same time
The greatest thing.…we can ever have is to love and to be loved in return (courtesy of Moulin Rouge)
Recently…..I acquired a tea box…yayness!!! it’s so pretty and it’s gonna look awesome in my new kitchen:)
Happiness….is something you have to make for yourself, it’s not going to just find you.

Now off you go my lovelies:) You complete the the sentences now:)

Love

You have been one of my favourite bands for a very very long time.  This specific song has a very special place in my heart and I decided to share the lyrics with my readers to show them a little piece of my heart:) Enjoy!
