Giving Back

Since losing my nan a couple of weeks ago, learning of how she passed and how little the hospital cared, how my family was treated and learning of how miserable her final days were I have decided to give one day a week of my time to going and visitng oldies at the local nursing home.

I am feeling that i really need to start giving; have been so happy to take, but don't feel that i give in enough ways. I know that so many of our elderly are so lonely and really really enjoy visitors; so i thought maybe i could take my beauty therapy skills out with me and maybe do some manicures, have chats, coffees etc and get to know some of our elderly locals. Im going to re-buy all my manicure stuff when i get back home (am still away on holidays) have another funeral to attend tomorrow sheesh.... i feel that the only valuable thing i can take away from all of this is learning to give more time to others; and heck.. we all know how much you can learn off the old crew!

Tomorrow i will write of a real life angel i encountered on the weekend.... made me feel that great people still exist!
