Those who read the blog yesterday, she is a lot better this evening, thanks

There are many thing visible in our communities that are disappearing for a while: clubs, social groups, schools, chapels and churches, even snooker halls. These communities have at different times been the heart beat of our societies/neighbourhoods.

As they disappear the invisible things that gave them birth like compassion, kindness and generosity will come to the foreground. These midwives, as it will, will help birth other things.

Stubborn, independent people like me will learn to be less independent , although probably not less stubborn. Someone brought us some shopping today – I was moved that they wanted to help. This is because I am far better at being the giver than the receiver. I need to learn from this.

More tomorrow….
