Hello everyone, its been a while since I have written, my goal was to write more, but have been so busy. I did want to share something I saw today in one of the news shows I watched. In the interview two young men had noticed a man that came everyday to a park. They decided once they saw why he came to the park daily that they would do something for him.
The snow came down covering the ground in front of a bench that this older man visits everyday. The two young men shoveled the walkway each day up to the bench so that the older man could walk to it. I thought that was beautiful and gave me hope on how some people can truly be good.
What I saw next brought me to tears, it was so beautiful. Everyday this older man came to a bench that had his late wife's picture on it, a sort of memorial, and he would bring a daisy every day. Every day he would come out to that bench, speak to his late wife, say a little prayer, leave a flower and say how much he loved her. They had been married around forty some years before she passed. You could hear in the interview further the love they shared, and how beautiful and special it was.
It gave me hope beyond something I can even explain. There are good people out there in the world still wanting to do good for another human being without expecting anything in return.
There is real love out there that shows in the simple act of someone and their memories in a love that surpassed the test of time.
It got me thinking how in a crazy world where we have lots of negative things that show up around us, there is still beauty to be had.
There is still real love out there that two people give instead of taking all the time.
Despite the negative things their are positive things that do surpass, we just don't hear it all the time. When I saw this interview of these people, I thought it was something that brought hope to my heart.
I think if we look really close, if we stop and smell the roses (or some say coffee), you can really see the beauty around, the kindness, the love. It is everywhere. A candle shines brightest in the darkness.
Love to each of you!
