WITH A FEW WORDS

Published on 31 October 2023 at 19:24

Yesterday I heard someone say, “We need to give people back their lives.” That was puzzling. I went to the town grocery store today and I watched people shop. Most were alone like me. No one was smiling, some people even looked sad.

I Love you.

Where are these people’s lives? Do I have them? Do I have an effect on others? I smiled and said “Hello.” My greeting was always returned with a smile. What in anyone’s life has made them feel less than the light and love they were made from? Twice today I read “When you stop listening with your heart, you have no power.” Perhaps giving people back their lives means restoring them or rekindling them with a few words, with a smile.

As you know I don’t get out much, but when I do I’m always alone and I always try and greet others with a kind word and a smile. I think/hope it brightens their day just a bit. I love you Linda and I miss you.
