You can see why, can't you, as the other Elizabeth says, too much that you can nothing about and yet bad for the soul not to empathise to at least some degree with the suffering you see.<BR/>I think I might have a news free couple of days just now.Elizabeth Musgravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473705107636868753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-76423067776133539852008-12-29T21:50:00.000-08:002008-12-29T21:50:00.000-08:00I look at Edward and smile as I read that last goo...I look at Edward and smile as I read that last good story.

It is uplifting to hear good news, and as you say, there are lots of warm-hearted people out there.<BR/><BR/>One of my friends (not a giraffe!) met G P Taylor a couple of weeks ago and said he was really inspiring and had a wonderful sense of humour. He sold his motorbike initially to pay to have his first book published himself - so what a great story of sticking your neck out to achieve your dreams!<BR/><BR/>I like to focus on positivity too - I think it encourages people to carry on against the odds.Raph G.
