Day 69 - Missing

Day 69 - Thursday 22 July 2010

Sometimes you just don't manage to snap that photo you really want to..

I was walking home today and saw just the cutest, and sincerest image I think I've seen in a while - an elderly lady was walking down the street, struggling, bent over and walking slowly, while being supported by another elderly lady!

It's just hard to explain in words, but to me it exemplified kind deeds. Generally a deed you ascribe to a younger person, helping an elderly person - but in this notion, it opened up this action to be thought about in an entirely different avenue of thinking for me.

We are only as young as we feel (something my mother is very fond of saying), and in this notion, a good deed can be carried out anywhere, anytime, by anyone - and has no set parameters.

Kind of feeding on from the Tisha Be'Av rant, we must all look to continue to do random good deeds just because we can, in the knowledge that it will make someone else's life that little bit easier, and hopefully, most often, make them smile.
