What’s your answer to this? Mine is postage stamps. I have so many and barely send mail.

What’s something you spent a fortune on that barely even exists today? I’ll start.

From 2005-2014 I spent between $500-$700 a MONTH on something called a YellowPages™️ ad. For the young folks that was a phone book. Where you found phone numbers. To call people. On the phone.

Cheaters think everyone cheats. Liars think everyone lies. Keep this in mind.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

“Twice this week, I have watched an elderly individual, fade into the busy life in which we all live. One man just needed Panadol for his wife but the shop assistant simply said it’s in aisle ‘6’. But he struggled to navigate the supermarket and as I watched him go in the wrong direction, I left all my groceries and took him where he needed to go.

Today, I watched an elderly man struggle in the heat, who had obviously had a fall with a huge scrape and blood on his leg. He walked past people in the cafe, while he slowly made his way to his car. Not one person stopped. Or looked. Or acknowledged him. I took him to his car and checked he was ok. He told me he had a fall and wasn’t sure how the air con worked in his car so he just didn’t use it. I sat with him, until his air con kicked in and heard him talk about the old frail body that he is in, that fails him now, every single day.

When you see an elderly person walking down the street, searching in the supermarket or struggling to their car, take a minute out of your busy schedule and ask them if they need a hand. Think about your grand parents and your parents and how pissed you would be if someone didn’t stop to help them. But more, think of them as you.

Once upon a time they were you. They were busy, they had work, they had children, they were able.... Today, they are just in an older body that is not going as fast as it used to and this busy life is confusing. They deserve our utmost respect and consideration. One day it will be you, it will be us. I wish more people gave a sh*t about them and acknowledged them for their admirable existence and geez I hope someday, not that far away, someone does it for me.”

[Raising Teens Today @HonestTeenTalk]

I hope one day my kids look back and realize how hard I tried. When I was busy, I found the time. When I was exhausted, I found the energy. When I lost my patience, I apologized. When they needed me, I was there. I wasn’t perfect. But I gave it my all... to be better for them.

@JessyBear2555 There is no such thing as failure, only lessons we learn along our life journey.
