Happy New Month!!!

Hi people! Yes, yes, it's great to write to you as well!! ^_^ How was September?
Mine was pretty busy, i must confess (i've had to squeeze in time to post this) but  i can hardly bear the thought of not communicating with all you amazing individuals out there for over ONE WHOLE MONTH!!! Naw men, it's too hard. ;)
I do apologize for not getting anything across to you for the whole of last month though...i sincerely will try to make sure that doesn't happen again. School's just been tremendously hectic! There's been at least a million and seven things happening at a time and at some point they all threatened to overwhelm me-but i've come out okay (Thank God!).

I don't have too much to say though. Happy New Month!!! for starters. :D It's great to be here innit? Yes, yes, it might not seem so for some of us but still, no matter what's happened in September, before September and etcetera-- hey! you're alive! You're sane, you can still think and operate a laptop or ipod or iphone or blackberry, or whatever. Soooo, liven up a little! (Trust me, that's partially a note-to-self.)

One thing i know i'm going to be working on this month and onward is the way i use my tongue (in regards to speaking and all) because the topic never gets old and it's too important to be ignored.
I need to be constantly on guard because many times, even with the best of intentions, correcting and helping and scolding and advising can suddenly slide down the interpretation slope and become NagGing.

Webster defines nagging as scolding or finding fault with REPEATEDLY, to cause annoyance by scolding or repetition.

Interestingly, a nag is also an inferior or aged horse. HA!

The best remedy (as i was able to derive from my devotional: "Girlfriends in God") to being a nagging person is to becoming a praying person. (Look up: 1 Peter 5:7 and Psalms 55:22). It something i consider quite relevant though because, believe it or not, wrong communication or misinterpreted/misrepresented behavior can ruin the most valuable relationships and opportunities in our lives! Especially since too many people seem to just LOOOOVE to take offence at the slightest thing! Wearing them down with the same broken record drone of how faulty they are and how you know just how to fix them cus they've missed it big time (and you never have??)is not going to work. Even i get a bit 'correction' deaf when i think i'm only hearing too much judgementalism and self-righteousness being espoused from the lips of someone claiming to care about me, imagine when it keeps coming over and over and over again---from someone you might not even be so close to!

Yup. i don't think anyone would really dig that.
Let's try and work on it (for those of us who are guilty of 'nag syndrome') and for those of us who aren't----i hope you stay that way by God's grace. :)

I'll be with you all soon enough. Stay blessed.
