In this day and age of instant world-wide news, it's hard to focus on just our own little "world" and what affects us directly. <br /><br />Also, the media seem to thrive on "bad news". How often do you hear of good things happening? Not as much as the bad, but they are out there alright. For example, this morning on our local radio a lady came on asking people to keep an eye out for an adult tricycle that was stolen from her yard (locked to their metal fence even!) that was the property of her disabled (Down's Syndrome) daughter. Yes, this was the "bad" part of the story; but the good part? Immediately after, a total stranger called to say he was BUYING her daughter a replacement because he had two healthy daughters and wanted to help. And if her original bike was found (it is pretty unique, so the odds are good it will be found) they will donate it to another disabled youngster. She was in tears and didn't want to accept his generosity at first; she only called to ask listeners to keep an eye out for the stolen bike; she never asked for anything more.<br /><br />But it brought a tear to my eye that there ARE people out there with a good heart and generous soul.<br /><br />Too bad there aren't more stories like this that are broadcast.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01797167028822330935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8653481130015567254.post-44969653919446016462011-05-18T18:59:17.347+02:002011-05-18T18:59:17.347+02:00My sorrow is with the abused woman and the many ot...My sorrow is with the abused woman and the many other women (and you know there are) who were abused by this man.<br />I hate the joking about he should have hired a top class hooker when that is about rape too. Albeit so-called consensual, ha!<br />I believe the man was addicted to violence in sex and used women as things and not human, merely the focus of his blood lust.<br />Sorry for ranting Nora, but I am up to the teeth with the victimization of women lately. <br />It is getting worse and not better.<br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8653481130015567254.post-82612586047296987092011-05-18T13:32:46.307+02:002011-05-18T13:32:46.307+02:00"Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts abso..."Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely"<br />plus i think there is a big dose of arrogance in Men or Women like this that they are above the law.<br />I do believe in innocent till found guilty , but he seems to have a track record and i feel for the poor woman who had to go into hiding.<br />On the good news front, we are suppose to see the sun sometimes this week, we'll see i guess :)<br />Have a good day♥CorvusCorax12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02705986279180729268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8653481130015567254.post-80890253750143515392011-05-18T07:35:23.766+02:002011-05-18T07:35:23.766+02:00The news can really be upsetting at times.

Although we need to know what is going on...... we must try not to take on board people and situations that we can do nothing about.<br />Sometimes we can help with things such as contributing to aid victims of natural disasters...... otherwise we can only get on with our own lives & face up to our own problems and trial of daily living......<br /><br />Hoping you have a good day today.<br />Maggie X<br /><br /><a href="http://granniemay.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Nuts in May</a>Maggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183886005936250976noreply@blogger.com
