It all started when I offered eggs for free on the local online classified group from St. Paul on Facebook. One person made a comment about my kindness and then 290 more did, or so. After a four year struggle to 'fit in', just because I offered something for free, I suddenly was viewed as a nice person. In the past I have been ridiculed, laughed at, dishonoured, had the SPCA called on me for abuse and cruelty to animals and so on. I have not changed. I am still me, but the perception of whom I am has, all because of one small gesture of kindness.
Then the St. Paul journal got wind of the viral (in St. Paul) post and asked to do a story on me, which ended up a whole page. I am thrilled. The story is very pleasant painting me as a soft spoken animal lover. I am an animal lover, that is for sure, but also not a new thing. Soft spoken, well, um, er, I don't ever recall that adjective describing me, but as my dear daughter said, maybe I have mellowed in my golden years.
Anyhow, I am changing the world. Perceptions can be changed and through the perseverence and kindness, small gestures can move mountains. Ask Ghandi. I am not comparing myself to him, mind you, but you know what I mean. How nice to be noticed after a 4 year sojourn all by myself. And how nice to be noticed in a nice way. Thank you Creator for your ever present love. May I one day be able to show it to the capacity that I am truly capable. What a wonderful world it would be!
