Just living is not enough… one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower. Hans Christian Andersen
 

It’s 10 : 47  AM on day 2380 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Leviticus 20:8, have breakfast   and learn a new word – Halcyon (hal·cy·on) Adj 1. Calm; peaceful; tranquil: “Halcyon seas.” 2. Rich; wealthy; prosperous: “Halcyon times before the recession.”

Today is Human Rights Day here in South Africa – a day commemorating the 1960 Sharpville Massacre which killed 69 people – the freedoms that I currently enjoy were bought with the blood of those 69 people and many others I am ashamed to say that sometimes I forget that. Thank you to the fallen heroes of  the1960 Sharpville Massacre.
