Quote: "People need encouragement and need support. People want to know they can work through this." --- Bobby Martin This week's "Something Extra": Be Strong... Don't Give Up... The Best Is Yet To Come The Game Of "Give And Take" I met her at some point on my life course. There she was, a small woman in plain clothes, waiting to catch the bus at a deserted bus stop on the highway. She had nothing special to catch my attention. At that moment, I was rolling like a meaningless pebble on the road, bound for nowhere. "You look tired. Come here and take a seat in
this shady place,” the woman said as she moved aside to give me her seat. Her soft, slow voice had a comforting strength, giving me a soothing cool in a scorching early afternoon. "Where are you going now?" the woman asked me. "Well, I don't know. I just want to catch a bus, to see what it
will be like at the terminal." "The terminal? There's nothing there to see. Why don't you get cheered up and enjoy the sights on the way?" "How can I do that while my heart's breaking?" I
burst into tears. I had kept all my pains from my loved ones, but now I didn't know why I wanted to turn myself inside out before a strange old woman. Maybe the burning sun and the dead silence of the highway at noon were the last straw. "I lost it all, right at the moment I thought I had it all. We were going to get married after four years going through more downs than ups. And he came one
day, with nothing to say, just to show me a ring on his finger. Is it fair to me?" The woman gave a sigh of sympathy. She seemed to well understand the pain inside my bleeding heart. "Don't cry, little girl. Just calm down and you'll see nothing
matters." The woman placed her hand on my shoulder. Suddenly I felt an unlimited source of peace energy in my vessels. Was it the power of understanding and sympathy? "Now, do you want to hear my life story while we're waiting for the bus?" the woman asked me in a low voice. I gave her a
blank look and nodded my head. Would I find some comfort in her sharing? What will she say ? Here is the link to the rest of the article (if you can't click, be sure to copy and paste the url into your browser). Take care and thanks again, Love and
