"hey !
Can't the past ever go away ?
Perhaps it doesn't have to stay
Perhaps there is a better way
Than to its tempting lure fall prey
Indeed life is quite a journey
Hardships, burdens, and come what may
Why carry those of yesterday…"

AujahAcorn commented on AujahAcorn's blog post Day 1 ~Wall Mart man~"Thank you deb :)
The quick cry was not distressful. I am not a big cryer but sometimes it catches me off guard when I feel a lot of emotion at one time.
Peace to you! :)"
Lefty commented on AujahAcorn's blog post Day 1 ~Wall Mart man~"I think buying a candy bar from someone selling in this way is still a gift. You didn't need that candy bar, but you bought it anyway and contributed to his cause. Great job!"
AujahAcorn posted a blog postDay 1 ~Wall Mart man~
Yesterday marked my first day of deliberate giving although, at the time, I was not sure if it counted.I stopped into Walmart to quickly pick something up. As I was walking in, I noticed a homeless man facing the opposite direction sitting out front. I decided I was going to give him $5 when I was leaving the store.So... as I was leaving I walked right up to him with money in hand and then realized he was selling candy bars!!! They were $2 each. I had to make a quick decision. Do I just give…See More

- hey !
Can't the past ever go away ?
Perhaps it doesn't have to stay
Perhaps there is a better way
Than to its tempting lure fall prey
Indeed life is quite a journey
Hardships, burdens, and come what may
Why carry those of yesterday ?
When the future is on its way
Promises of a brand new day
From gloominess do shy away
Forgive oneself, hurting allay
And allow guilt its holiday
Listen to the musicians play
They sing the song of the blue jay
Let the sun outshine the clouds grey
Trust only joy to show the way
hope you have an inspired & fulfilling week ! :o)
