looking back i think i can see……………..i have been formed and shaped by things that have confronted me…………………and as i take stock of what i am…………..and what i am not…………..my experiences are revisited like a leopard inspects his spots………….i have given up the descriptions of good and bad……………..happy, challenging, troubling or sad……………for they were all part of this journey for me ……………………made me the person i turned out to be………

part of everything i have touched, felt or smelled and i was always grateful for them at the time………………….but i cherish them now………..
