Living life a bit differently?

Dear World,
have you ever asked yourself, why are people running? Why don't slow down and walk? Or have you watch them? Lately I have noticed that life seems to rush by me.
I know, I hear you all out there, what do you expect? We have to make a living, we have to pay bills? The competition isn't sleeping! But why do we think that way?

Has the country brainwashed us so well? Do we really have to be better then Joe blow from down the street? What is our life really worth? And at the end what are we taking with us?

What is important? To love....to cherish....to enjoy....to hold...to bless...to give?
If we give a gift, do we expect a thank you, or do we give it because we care about the person?

Why do I ask, because I am starting to realize how important giving is? I gave my time to a teenager, was goofy to lighten her spirit -  she said thank you for caring. I looked at her and said...it's OK. In return the boyfriend of this girl cleaned my kitchen because I didn't feel good, I said thank you - he said it's OK

Isn't our life at times like a quilt that isn't pieced together? There are people that might not be related to us...that care....and then there are people that are related to us that don't care.

Why do you think life is like that?
Not to change the subject, but a couple of weeks ago I rescued another Yorkie, not that we need another mouth to feed but if you would have seen her...skin and bones...
she sleeps right next to me...making sure she has body contact...even though she has been hurt and abused...she you can see through her behavior...she is sitting at my feet as I am writing this...licking me freshly washed feet...

Life is about slowing down, being thankful for the little things in life, changing things that are wrong close to home and loving unconditionally ...

So dear world...go out ...show someone you care...and slow down!!
