Dear Friends and Family,
Firstly our clocks go forward an hour! So from tomorrow onwards we have jumped an hour ahead!
The weather has been fantastic! Since Thurday we have had sunshine! The most wonderful part about it is I live by the sea! So I have been out and about quite a lot :)! It's really been a (lovely) few days lol! I have heard the word lovely so much recently!
Yesterday I was in the city with a friend and went to a show in the evening but couldn't stay, I was very tired after departure day so I headed home.
I cannot upload a couple of pictures I took, my blogger uploader is not working so well! I'm sure I will have more pictures to upload later on! I am like the local paparazzi! Lol I love capturing things! Especially beautiful sights and people!
I have 2 days off now :)! Fun in the sun! If there is sun lol!
So that's an idea of what I've been up to!
Plus another thing that really made me go wow is Psalm 33:5 "the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord." FULL! Woop - an awesome God who loves us always! Who is directing us in our lives.
This scripture is one of my favourites. Isaiah 40: 28-31 "Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary, his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and not be weary and young men shall fall exhausted but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint."
I feel a new post coming up on my writing blog - nicolathewriter.blogspot.com
I also post things on my writing blog on tumblr too.
I had literally just posted this and this song came on my spotify! The lyrics and everything are awesome and could not think of a better song to add to this post, it's so good and I went back to this post edited it and it's below for you :)!
With that I shall love and leave you,
Until I write again,
God bless,
Nicola

Birthdays all around
Dear Friends and Family!
For one thing this blog post comes from me typing off my blackberry as I don't have internet at the moment but when you want to write, you want to write :)!
I guess a good place to start is with the title! Well 3 people I met some at work and on a bus had 3 birthdays one day after the other, each of them turning 80. After the 2nd one it really got me thinking how much of a story you must have to tell with 80 years. Even though I have only lived just over a quarter of that, I still have a lot I've done so with 80 years you must have some really good stories to tell. I like hearing people's stories about what they have done in their lives no matter their age. Every life is a story.
While still on the topic of birthdays, earlier this month was my step-brothers birthday, yesterday was a friends birthday, today is my dads birthday and tomorrow is my step-sisters birthday and next month is my birthday.
I think the greatist thing about someone's birthday is that it gives you a day to say Happy Birthday and think about them and how they special they are. I think everyone adds something to your life and however you met them or well you know them there's only one of them and I like to take time to appreciate people. I try to wish everyone I can happy birthday. Online has got a great way of keeping track of birthdays and wishing those people you know around the world and that's what is keeping me online these days because I want to wish everyone. You always have that special feeling when it's your birthday and you should because you're an irreplaceable part of the world!
It's been warmer here in the Uk as we go in to Spring, really nice walking and living by the sea. I find it very funny how excited they get about the sun here. I have just been enjoying my life here, my job and my friends. It's really hit me that I have been here for over 2 years now when I never intended to stay this long but in that time I have met some amazing people and made friends from all corners of the world and built a life for myself here so I guess this is where I am meant to be for now although later on who knows. I have been enjoying life and things are going really well at the moment. I haven't been online as much, especially on facebook, haha strange coming from me or writing news as much but I am happy and healthy and of course with my unique sense of humour haha ;)!
I do love keeping in touch with friends and family who are spread out far and wide across the earth. I am always up for a text, call, skype call, chat, email - you get the idea! Also always up for hanging out if you are not so spread out and closer to me on this earth lol! Even for those who may not know me as well, got to start somewhere right ;)!
Best way to reach me quickly I guess my mobile, bbm or email or twitter even lol because I get those updates on my mobile. I am not disappearing, I am a contactable person just giving you the details incase I may not sign in to facebook as much for those of you who contact me regularly there.
I thank God for my life here for every piece of it and every good piece of me is a piece He has put together! All glory to Him!
PS: Our internet came back just as I was finishing this so I do added a song woop! I absolutely love music, always have, always will!
I have been listening to this song a lot recently and saw it posted on facebook today and I love the lyrics!
Part of the lyrics "Come and take my hand I won't let you go, I'll be your friend I'll love you so deeply"
Love and God Bless,
Until I write again,

My news! I've re-opened my blog :)
Dear Friends and Family!
After a lot of thought I have decided to re-open this blog and share my news with you all again. Of course my news isn't a play by play of my life but it gives you an idea of what I'm getting up to. I don't write every minor detail but some things. Of course you may want to know when I brush my teeth and when I put my shoes on and all those fun bits of information but I think I'll leave out those details ;)!
Let's see where to begin. I'll give a brief summary of the past few months since I stopped writing my news. I went to Paris (beautiful city - pictures on my facebook), finished my working year end of December, went on holiday the whole month of Jan, came back then started work mid-feb, took a 3 day vacation recently (pictures on my facebook in 3 albums).
Back to my news. Well I'm sick at the moment haha. I worked this morning but I had to take the night off work tonight.I did just have a couple days off too so I rested. Well except for going to Exeter on Sunday lol. Being sick happens so moving on... haha
The weather is warming up, even sat on the beach in the sun with just a t-shirt. Although it's warmer here on the coast however whenever I find myself in the city I freeze lol, it's so much colder there! It's funny I was recalling how it was in Africa, where almost everyday the weather was warm - over 20 degrees, mostly around 25 degrees and now that I'm living in England a warm day is a rare occasion.
I visited another coastal town here on the 4th of March and stayed in a hotel there, it was one of those vacations where you think oh I've got time off and I want to go somewhere, so I went somewhere :). Like I said on my other blog the things that happened and how this trip unfolded was amazing, you'll have to read my other blog to see what I'm talking about. It was very peaceful, I was moving practically the whole day lol but I felt a lot more relaxed than I had felt in a long time. It was a good experience, my first trip with just me. Actually it was the first time in over a year or even more than that where it was just me with no one I know around for more than 3 days of so.
I suppose I have been like James Bond under-cover for a while, you know laying low but I guess I like sharing my news and my life. I like hearing about your news and your life too. I like catching up with people. I like a lot of things haha.
Well I think for my first post in ages I'll let you off the hook ;), I won't write an essay but good to have this blog again.
The only way to end this post is with a song of course - yeah I still love music, I listen to Spotify so much now actually!
This is a great song I heard!
God always knows who we are. He's always there for us.
Until I write again,
God Bless,
