A chance Meeting
We’re all so busy making money, worrying about who’s making more money, or getting a better job, sometimes we forget that all it takes is a simple thing to make us feel that much better. Something unexpected.
The other day I helped an old lady across the street. I had the common cold—a variation somewhat harsher, universally known as Man-Flu—so the lady was actually helping me across the street as much as I was helping her, but that’s not really my point: we were making each other happy. She told me an old war story as we walked, and when we got to the other side of the street I listened with intense fascination.
Hers was a story unlike any other I have ever heard and expect to hear since. Back in the day, Beatrice had plenty of time on her hands—she had been stinking rich, so didn’t have to work—and had taken it upon herself to visit the wives of those men who had been killed in the war. She was a professional Happiness Inducer, bouncing from door to door like a modern day angel.
Beatrice said this was the thing that turned her life around and I could see why. She had many tricks, she said; she’d tell them a joke, give them something to laugh about, or dance for them (and she could still dance, she promised me). Every day Beatrice woke with a spring in her step, knowing that her day would make the world a slightly better place. Beatrice had many techniques to ‘happyfy’ people; sometimes she’d ask the women if they liked a certain record, then go and buy it and memorize the lyrics and next time sing them a great tune. Beatrice was an inspiration.
When I said goodbye to her, she looked me in the eye and told me to be happy. I said, “I’ll try.” Beatrice said, “I’ll do better than that,” and she gave me twenty pounds!
I need some collaboration on this one, I was talking to my very good friend the other day and she asked me to visit this site on Smartlipo. I think she is actually thinking about getting this done. How do I undertake the subject of saying that she shouldn’t be compelled to do this and she should try a natural alternative of getting rid of the weight first
