The sweet charity of love


Sometimes in life, just when you become completely sure that this is a completely Godless universe....Something miraculous can jolt you back to a position of hope and clarity.




The other day I was over at a couples house who are firmly planted in their 90's, although, not short on charisma, charm and affection. They have been married 50 years.


 I hardly know these people except for an isolated incident where I was called up to their home because he had fallen on the kitchen floor.  My job was simply to lift him up and into a chair and he was fine.  Then this endearing woman gave me this tin of exquisite Cocoa to take home.




Such a sweet gesture by her.  I won't ever forget it.




"Practising the law of giving is actually very simple. If you want joy, give joy to others; if you want love, learn to give love to others; if you want attention and appreciation, learn to give attention and appreciation.




The easiest way to get what you want is to learn to help others get what they want.




Sounds very new age and Daily Om....but I believe it works.




I guess I am getting a little mushy today, because I just celebrated a birthday and my cousins little son, who is quite precious.....made me a home made card which was brilliant and then he insisted on putting a toonie
inside, as a present for me. Very inspiring on many levels.
