Do you have a neighbor, a friend, a person for whom you know is out there and just needs a simply hour of a week, a day or a few minutes of one's time? May be some one whom is in a skilled nursing home?
Like a child whom over the last twenty years has just been dumped in front a television or computer, some of the older generation choose this fate as well. Spending un-needingly on paid chat phone lines, buying junk from home shopping networks or are wheelchair bound and could simply use a case of the some one thought or prayed for them?
If you have been a reader of any blog or of mine, I ask one thing of you :)
Please, go find that heart that is within you. Call that far away neighbor, email that aunt or sister you have not had time to say some thing wonderful to in a long time. May be it is son or daughter in another state? Or with an ex-husband out on a weekend retreat with the children.
Or help that Grand child write a wonderful letter or paint a picture for Mom or Dad whom may be overseas? May be you know some one whom just needs a few minutes of your day to Hello, thank you? Hi THERE!?!?!
You never know what a few minutes of your time can mean in the attention starvation that happens in today's world, where a little can mean so much.
After breakfast this morning, I plan to do such. I plan on going to a skilled nursing facility to see a sick family member, then I shall board a local C-tran bus and say hello to not just the driver, but to look down the aisles and let every one see in my eyes that same verbal hello meant some thing.
MY goal for this whole day is to simply and justly, try to put smiles on as many faces as I can! And what harm could one special memory of a person you helped create by one simple act of kindness?
