Day 2388: Ahmed Kathrada Funeral

“Hatred, revenge, bitterness; these are negative emotions. The person harbouring these emotions suffers more.” – Ahmed Kathrada

It’s 12 : 03 PM on day 2388 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Numbers 14:19 , have breakfast and watch part Uncle Kathy’s Funeral.

This morning I was watching part of Ahmed Kathrada’s funeral on Youtube it was extraordinary to see South African’s of all shades and ages coming together to celebrate this amazing human being I love that all of them emphasized Uncle Kathy’s unwavering commitment to a cause greater than himself, the cause of a non-racial South Africa. Uncle Kathy’s life is an example to us all he taught us that a life of service is a life of significance. RIP Uncle Kathy you were a giant on whose shoulders we still stand we love you always and forever.

Day 1417: Sick Day

In life there are good days and bad days you can’t have one without the other – that’s what I keep realizing.

It’s 10 : 35 AM on day 1417 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to stretch my hamstrings, practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, feed myself bran flakes with banana for breakfast pray and read Psalm 104.

Today has not been one of best days my grandma’s funeral is taking place in a couple of hours in India and on top of that I seem to have the mother of all colds I feel awful I’m giving myself a sick day after I publish this post I’m going to rest. Do you want the good days without the bad days?
