Thank you NHS Ambulance Service!

Just yesterday, I had a terrible accident that left me with a dislocated shoulder. Although I'm still in pain after being discharged from the hospital, but I'm highly grateful for the ambulance service that came to the house in no time to rescue me!

These two paramedics were heaven-sent. It seemed as though they knew what I was going through. They temporarily subdued the intense pain I had before the ride to the A&E. Through my moans and groans in the ambulance, the paramedic while taking my details, kept saying, "don't worry, you'll be alright," relax your muscles," we are almost there ( at the hospital )"...

At that moment, I felt glad and opportuned to be in an environment where this type of service was available. Pity for the sick, wounded, old people and children who in various parts of the world didn't have this privilege, lurked around the edge of my subconscious.

Growing up in Nigeria, the ambulance services (I saw) were for carrying corpses to and fro mortuaries! But this is not what this post is about...

Only just two days ago, I wrote a post about new year resolutions...now I know one has to be hale and hearty to keep them!

New Year Resolutions


Happy New Year to you ...and me!

Somehow I feel ( and hope and pray) that 2015 will be much a better year.

People are talking/writing about their new year resolutions. Most of my friends want to eat healthier, exercise more, start a new hobby, write that unfinished novel and so on and so forth. We are "birds of the same feather" in most things anyway, so I would like to do/attempt these resolutions as well. Discipline is key. Do I possess this skill? Only time will tell.

One thing I would like to add to these resolutions is the ability to give back in any little way I can. It's something I feel (strongly) I have to do. What? How? To Whom? Again, let's see how this year unfolds...

Happy 2015! It's got to be a happy one. (I Declare)
