What the milk run taught me this morning

Running out of milk for morning coffee is never fun. Instead of waking up gradually in relaxed way, you have to get up, get your showered, get dressed and negotiate the road on the morning school and work run.

That is the absolute nightmare for a free spirit who lives life against the rat race!

But this morning, it made me laugh and reminded me of living life unbarred.

I stood in the queue behind a gentleman of about 75. He was having trouble packing his groceries in his fabric recycle bag with floppy straps. The young female shop assistance asked if she may hold the strap so as to make it easier. He gladly accepted.

"You are so kind helping me. I wish I met a woman like you long time ago, but I only seemed to get the bad ones. Young lady, you have made my day, I just wish you could make my night!"

Life without holding back. Do not wait until you are 75 to live life unbarred.

Have a happy week :-)

No Forbes list, halved or doubled, can bring the happiness that good friends bring to your life :-)

We travelled, met people, experienced new places, shared ideas, encouraged people to better situations, find solutions to their challenges etc. What the hell happened? Why is it that when I look at the news, newspaper, speak to people at social gatherings to find  time and time again that I get hit by the wall : diversity is all of a sudden the new adversity! The best way I could express myself was simple: I travel often. A great number of times I am able to learn the  basics of the language of the country I travel to. I mean basic. What I have come to realise, is that if I take language away and speak from my heart and use gestures, the ...
