DECISIONS

-


While growing up, I had a clear cut view about decisions on the issues of life. It was either a decision fell to the right side or to the left side. It was either right or wrong, white or black. There were no shades of gray in between. It was that simple to my uninformed young mind. 

But adulthood brought with it the understanding that decisions on the issues of life can't always be easily categorized as either white or black. Yes, there are still certain issues in which there can be no gray areas. It has to be either white or black. For instance, one can either be integrous or lack integrity completely. There are no gray areas when it comes to the issue of integrity. Or what do you think? 

However, on issues like religion, politics and morality, things are not always so clear cut. There are always points of intersection which dispose of the white and black categorisation because of the shades of gray in between. 

The point of this post? Always have an open and informed mind for the purpose of appreciating the gray areas in certain situations where they exist. That way, you would be taking the necessary factors into consideration before making decisions, in order to make sound and almost infallible decisions on the issues of your life. I hope I am making sense? 😃

    Lovely... 🌹
    Those chess pieces are huge 👀
    As for grey areas in certain issues, I completely agree with that, however I also think that integrity should be included...
    One can have integrity on say marital faithfulness and then have issues with money... Vice versa and with different variables too...
    Great writeup ✨

    When it comes to religion, for me it’s clear cut. It may vary depending on the individual’s perspective.
    Thank you for opening minds to broader analysis.

      Yes, when it comes to religion, "it" varies based on the individual's perspective.

SERENE SATURDAY

The aim of this time out was just to take a short and simple break from my routine work life. However, I was pleasantly caught off guard by the serenity of this location.  My soul gratefully soaked up the ambience of this place.  I spent more time soaking it all in than I did taking pictures and that’s unusual for me. 🤓 Though we had an exciting time on the ferris wheel, my friends and I left this location feeling serene and rejuvenated.  Have you ever left a place feeling that way? Wishing you and I lots of serene Saturdays that keep us serenely rejuvenated. 🤓 Did I mention the fact that someone screamed when her cabin was atop the rotating ferris wheel? 😊 Stay beautiful, 'Zibah.

ARMS AKIMBO

I took a look at the shots taken while checking the angles of my camera in preparation for the main shoot of this post and it finally dawned on me that the left arm akimbo pose was not my favourite pose but my comfy pose. It was my pose in literally all the shots taken. At the time the shots were being taken, I never thought the images would come on the blog. But after going through the images, I got curious as to the significance of the pose in terms of body language. I went googling and decided to share with you. There are several articles on the arms akimbo pose but this one ( https://www.mariefranceasia.com/lifelove/decoding/gestures-why-do-we-put-our-hands-on-our-hips-2937.html ) seemed to be the most concise of the ones I read. I like the interpretation given to my left arm akimbo pose as regards my fingers facing forward. Curious like me? Click on the link .  What is your comfy pose? What does it say about you? Stay beautiful, 'Zibah.

A PODS LUNCH

  On this impromptu  outing , I ended up at  Ile-Iyan by PODs  restaurant for lunch.  Ile-Iyan by PODs is what I would call a destination place with a pleasant African themed decor and ambience.  From the menu, I had pounded yam and egusi soup accompanied with escargot and chevon. Rather, the pounded yam, egusi soup and escargot accompanied the chevon. 🤓 My taste buds enjoyed the rich taste of the egusi soup. The escargot (snail) was just there, almost bland in taste. As for the pounded yam . . . let's just say I prefer the thicker or should I say stronger consistency of pounded yam to the one I ate there. 🤓 Now, the chevon on the other hand (yes, I have to address it properly because why would I just say goat meat for something so delicious? 🤓) was  yummilicious!  It was so tasty, tender, big, fleshy and really . . .  yummilicious!  😋  It was that good, I kid you not.  Like I mentioned earlier, this outing was impromptu, s...
