Good advice: 1)find out when their birthdays are and always send them a card. 2)Tell them that their grandchildren  or children are lovely and a credit to them. 3) Always invite them to your parties. 4) Always go out of your way to pass the time of day. 5) NEVER, EVER REMARK THAT THEIR HEDGES ARE GETTING A LITTLE OUT OF HAND!  DEADLY, BELIEVE ME! 

They never grumble, and they never seem to moan, but they're always glad to see the day end.

   How many times have you given it some thought, that it would be nice if you could only, give a moment of your time to one who is lonely?

   How many times have you wanted so much to give someone a helping hand?

   But with so much to do, and very little time, you just knew they would understand.

   They always appear so happy, and there's nothing they can't seem to do, but the smile they wear when you see them, is the smile they wear just for you.

   Milk still standing on the step, and callers get no reply; just because that person would never let you see them cry.

  So, when in doubt, don't just think, and whisper, 'Oh, if only...'

  Because, a moment of your time is a lifetime to one who is lonely.

Although the photograph is slowly fading, the smile on the face is still the same.

   That familiar look still offers me advice, when I am feeling sad, I'd be lost without the memories and this photograph of dad.

   I seem to listen to him more now than when he was here; his image in the wooden frame reminds me that he's near.

   Often when I am restless, into my dreams he will walk; he'll sit with me for hours, and of my problems we will talk.

   He tells me he is happy - that we've never really been apart.  And although it was hard to understand, it was time for him to make a new start.

   So, whenever I am feeling low, and self-pity over rules, I hold dad's faded photograph, and realise sorrow is for fools.

  She had once stood in a place of pride, on the mantel watching over all; now she stands out of sight on a dusty shelf, because she did not answer a sorrowful call.

  But now the dusty porcelain figure, stands to remind us all, how like our minds is the dusty shelf, where we place God until we call!                                                                                                                               

    The mouse nibbling away at the piece of cheese is completely oblvious to the cow from which it all originated.  The cow is probably not mindful that beyond itself evolution is meticulously processing everything - life and death, without one single compassionate thought! Should this be the case then, why pray?  Prayers are frequently answered, of that there is no doubt!  Answered,by whom?  Evolution?

   Woody Allen was once asked: 'Are you afraid of death?'  To which he replied: 'No!  I just don't want to be there when it happens!'   Sensible answer Woody!  What's the point of believing in nothing at all?  Do you believe in something?  What? Evolution, or God? Theology teaches that we are punished for or sins.  The Higher teachings tell us that we are in fact punished by our sins, and certainly not for them!

    SLEEPY'S SONG: 'You've got to believe in you, and do the things you really want to do: and all your dreams will come true, if you believe in YOU.

  First you say you can and then you don't; then you say you will and then you say you won't; you will only ever succeed, if you believe in YOU.

  If you keep on smiling, the whole world will smile at you; if you're nice to everybody, everybody will be nice to you.

      That's not necessarily true, because people will always play on you; but all your dreams will come true, if you believe in YOU!'

I was more than surprised to receive a comment about my blog WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT from the Liverpool Echo's Editor, Alistair Machray, and was even further surprised that, as the editor he would see fit to comment on my blog.  As far as I am concerned the perpetrators of the crimes have already been punished and DO NOT deserve further ridicule by having their names published in the Liverpool Echo.  Obviously Alistair machray does not agree and thinks they should be subjected to further shame.  To reiterate what has already been said: some consideration has to be made for the reasons that led these people to commit the crimes in the first place.  I wonder would Mr Machray feel the same way if one of his family found themselves in the same situation.

   What a crass remark, if you can't take the heat....
