Seems
like my menu for this whole week is strictly Humble Pie - all the way!
I
had planned a lighthearted poem for this posting but I have to forego
that notion. I just do not feel lighthearted
at all tonite. I feel far too humble to
be able to spew trivialities from such a full and grateful heart as mine is at this
moment.
I
had a very interesting day today. A
friend asked me to accompany her for an Appreciation Luncheon at a Group Home
where she works with handicapped people.
If seeing those unfortunate individuals did not debase me enough, seeing the
sensitivity and compassion of those care workers certainly cut me to the
core. Their unfailing patience, their cheerful and positive attitude, their calm understanding
and love for their charges truly strummed my heartstrings. How fortunate the world is to have such people
in our midst to take on such benevolent work!
Let’s
all just take a good look at our lives and count our many blessings - whatever they
may be. Things could be so much worse!
(Sorry
to go heavy on you folks again. I’ll
lighten the load next time, I promise.)
