Giving

As many of you know, one of my favourite blogs is Ronni’s Time Goes By. Ronni is one of the great people I have encountered over the last years. I find what she has to say about aging and how she says it very intriguing.

The idea of speaking out loud as a political movement is powerful. The fact that Ronni does this in a constructive, positive, provocative way is important. Even her alter ego, The Crabby Lady, does not rant without wit and intelligence.

Yesterday, Sharon wrote a story for the blog’s storytelling corner about a long wait in fogged-in airport. She writes about how one disgruntled person sitting in the waiting area seeped the energy of those around her, and how another group of happy people spread joy and happiness.

Reading Sharon’s story brought to mind this wonderful story from the Guardian. Please spend the time to read it, for we are all alternate from the receiving end and the giving end of such day-to-day encounters. There are lessons to be learnt.
