Good in People

Extreme Makeover Home Edition is one of my favorite shows. It actually makes me ashamed of myself that i ever feel gloomy about anything. There are so many deserving people in the world.The last time I watched it was all about wild animals that had been purchased as pets because oh they are so cute when they are little. And yes they are cute, but they grow up and are a wild animal. The family took all these animals in, the cruelty to the animals was unreal. They showed horrible wounds from being declawed. One of the animals had cigars put out on its
coat. *Why would they do that! I believe there were 24 plus animals that they were taking care of on their own...so that these animals could have a life...they could never live in the wild, but they were learning to trust humans again. The family had the biggest heart., as so many that they feature. Every week it restores my faith in people that the good outweigh the bad by far.The way the communities get behind these families is very inspiring. The love and the friendship, the caring and the given is really fabulous. /////
Tonight they showed a lady that had just turned 104...I believe on Oprah....She does charity work for seven different organizations....She is amazing, rides a bike faster than me, unless I was a being chased by atiger,,,,just maybe I would be faster....Take a moment of your day to be kind to the closest person to you. Angels are born that way!

  3. thanks Lois, I am not sure if I could with the wild animals either. I am a mess for a long time when dogs pass away...sometimes we never know what we can do until we have to. Have a great day.

  5. sometimes those shows make me feel self-absorbed, definitely. Have you also seen that show, Deserving Design? Same premise as extreme home makeover, only the designer does a couple of rooms in the house. Very cool, inspiring. My sons and I all watch Extreme Home Makeover every Sunday.
