It Is Good That You Exist

Posted on by

There was a man on our planet who lived his life to the full by learning who he was, what his purpose was, and went forward to serve that purpose in the best way possible….loving the afflicted.

He was one of my favorite people in the world. Jean Vanier was one of the kindest, helpful, spiritual people who lived. He died on May 7th at the age of ninety years. One of his famous messages is,”It is good that you exist.” There is a beautiful interview he did on Tapestry with Mary Hynes on CBC in 2005. It was repeated yesterday in his memory and is so worth listening to. Good-bye for now, Jean Vanier; it is good that you existed.

Talk About Being Human!

Posted on by

There was a “Thinking of You” card in my mail box yesterday that brought tears to my eyes. It was from a young lady whom I have neither seen nor talked to in a very, very long time.

Apparently she was acknowledging the women who had touched her life in a positive way many years ago by sending them notes of appreciation.

Her words brought to mind yesterday’s post on being human. Her words were thoughtful, caring, uplifting, appreciative, encouraging; in short she was a human being being human.

How wonderful is that?

I had already had a bright day with a dear friend, and that young lady’s card made it even brighter.

I love my fellow human beings!
