"Blessed are those that can give without remembering, and take without forgetting." Elizabeth Bibesco.....I think I like this woman.
The surest cure for lonliness, the quickest way to happiness, is found in this, a simple creed........ "Go serve someone in greater need." William Arthur Ward....a man I could get to like too.

I wonder how many people have the television on right now?
How many people will climb out of their beds, be fed some soothing nonsense on their radios to their place of work, pass by people shivering in doorways and alleyways....maybe even notice them...and just keep on driving...?
Too hard...someone will look after them...someone other than me...the white noise of mediocre thoughts...
I wonder how many people would stop for just a second, hop out of their so warm car, take off their coat, and give it to a stranger...
A coat for a life?
Seems more than fair to me...
The simplest unselfish acts are the difference between being the white noise and being deaf to it.
I dont own a television. I dont listen to the radio. I find their non-sensical blah blah annoying.
I read only from the net, and then investigate to find another side of the story.
I read a book about how the power of the 'net took over everyone's news. But one article was totally fabricated and it shook the foundations of all of the knowledge of that society.
People had to start thinking whether the news they were given was true or not.
I was helped once by a stranger, when my motorbike broke down. He stopped his car and as I didnt have a mobile phone, lent me his to call the bike shop I worked in.
Since then, if I see a motorcyclist broken down, I offer help.
The world of kindness has to start with one act ... I hope the people I offer to help, perpetuate it, the way I try to.
I found myself at 15 years of age in a town in the middle of nowhere...Christmas Eve, just me and my dog...too tired to travel anywhere else, needing somewhere to sleep, that was reasonably safe.
The local police would not give me a cell for the night, the local hoons were out in force, dragging to and fro up the main street in their hotted up car, cat calling at me....
A woman, about mid forties, who lived across the street from the police station, came out of her house at 2.00am in the morning and offered me a bed...she had been watching from her loungeroom window, this waif of a kid and scruffy dog drag themselves out of the police station.
Not only did I have a bed for the night, but a Christmas dinner with Granpa Joe, Aunty Mavis, and all the rest of her clan...well fed and well rested, two days later my dog and I waddled off on our way...I have never fogotten that woman...and her act of kindnesss...and lack of judgement...she spurs me on, every day.
