Happy Birthday To Me

There is always a certain excitement that comes with an up coming birthday. September 30 usually coincides with lazy summer nights turning into cold winter evenings. 

Birthdays to me are like changing seasons nudging me from one milestone to the next. I would not be Joice Maduaka if I did not as always refuse to remain stagnant. So as I move from one era to the next. I step in confidence knowing that nothing is permanent. Not joy and definitely not pain. 

This birthday as many more to come will serve as my platform for growth. 

So happy Birthday to me.

Quote of the day: Trust

Trust is like money; you spend it, you save it, you lend it, and sometimes you get robbed.

I had my sister round this week and she asked me her usual question 'Got any good books on your list' So here you go.

I'm currently reading 'A piece of Cake' - Cupcake Brown

I picked it up in the airport this weekend. I'm only 2 chapters in and know it will be finished by the end of the week.

The next book I'm going to read is  Shantaram - Gregory Roberts

It was recommend to me by a friend who has a wait list for his copy. So I going to have to by my own and start my own wait list.  lol

The Help - Kathryn Stockett

I loved this book. Its one of my favourites for this summer

Can you think of anything to go on my list of books to read? 

I know know lol

Its been forever since I last posted a blog. Twitter has replaced my blogging this summer. 

Well anyway. I'm going to try and be more consistent and even change it up a little adding more stuff that's not track related. So be prepared for more quotes (because we all know I love them). I'm not going to go over the last few weeks. I look forward always not backwards.  : )

I'm off to Doha this week for the training camp prior to the Common Wealth Games in New Delhi. I'm both excited (to be going to the CWG) but nervous (after seeing the list of things to by in boots, so as not to get sick). Lets just say I have my own person 'First Aid' kit for this trip. 

So lets see how long I can keep the effort up of blogging.

Chat soon
