TGIF...

💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛 

Dear diary

 

HAPPY FRIDAY!

 

Ahh yes, another day, another opportunity. What a week! Honestly, today has got to be my best day of my week. I spent the entire week worrying about my future, like that has ever worked for anyone, and to be quite honest, I have no idea why.

 

After what seemed to be one confusing and self-torturing week, today felt a new day to start over! Today we woke up earlier than usual and had our daily morning argument. I still don’t know what half of the argument was about, but what good would a morning be without us arguing. We had breakfast, got ready and we took a walk. The walk was exactly what I needed.

I am often very hard on myself. It’s not something I’m proud of, but I acknowledge it. I have very high expectations of myself because I know my strengths and capabilities. So why would I end up questioning myself and filling my head with self-doubt? That time I am so awesome, it is not even funny. Walking with Panda helped bring back the hope I needed. I mean how I could continue being “sad” while watching my kid discover the world’s sounds, colours, smells and the people Really, if Panda is brave enough to move and still be the happy chappy she is, who am I not be great after birthing such greatness? So yes, TGIF because there is so much to be happy and excited for.

Anyway, it is still Friday and there is still so much to do. Here is to more smiles, more life and an even happier Friday

 

Love, Rethabile

P.S May you continue finding reasons to smile, remain hopeful and remember that you are loved. Don’t Forget to pray

A Journey of Becoming: 28 Years in the making.

Turning 28 feels surreal — as though I’m standing at the crossroads of who I was and who I’m becoming. Reflecting on the past few years — the triumphs, the heartaches, the lessons, and the moments filled with grace — one truth remains clear: God has been faithful through it all. This year, I’m marking my birthday a little differently. Planting butternut seeds has become more than a simple tradition; it’s a symbolic act of growth and surrender. Just as those seeds take root and grow under God’s care, I too am choosing to root myself deeper in His love and purpose. Today, I am dedicating this moment to prayer, seeking to draw closer to God and hear His voice more clearly. Life has not always been easy, but through every season, His faithfulness has remained constant. I choose to honour both the challenges that have shaped me and the victories that have reminded me of His unending grace. 10th February 2025 Dear Diary, Three years ago, we began our journey together. I had just turned 25, a...

Rethabile, The Companion. Part 2

Hello, Companionship "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up." — Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 It has been two years since I last wrote about you. One might think that two years is a short time, but looking back, I realise it has been a time of learning and unlearning, breaking and rebuilding. You have been both a source of joy and heartache, a teacher in ways I never expected. I once thought you were something that simply happened—a natural force, an inevitable presence. But I have come to realise that you are intentional, a choice we make every day. You have held my hand in laughter and wiped my tears in silence. You have shown up in friendships that flourished and in relationships that faded. You have taught me that love is not just about being present but about choosing to stay, to nurture, to walk alongside even when the road is rou...

Journey to the center of Rethabile...Introducing me

 Firstly, I would love to take a moment just to thank God. During my 25th year of living, God has carried me through and out of my darkest days, and into my continuous salvation and achievements. I was able to not only learn how to stand my ground, but I actually achieved 4 out of 6 main goals I set for myself beginning of 2022. This was, and still is something I am very proud of because I usually get lazy or give up halfway through the year. Not this time baby! I would also love to thank God for the gift of motherhood, family and genuine friendships. Had it not been for these people and relationships, I believe I wouldn't be here today Secondly, you probably noticed the name change. Now for those who are new here (this is me hoping I reached new readers), the blog was once titled "Diary of a stay at home mom: Retha's world". I know, I get it, it was long. Well I am proud to announce that it is now and will forever be known as "Retha's Diary". Maybe no...
