SHOW YOUR APPRECIATION

We see posts empowering women daily. This note is to spread some love to the good men out there. We see you, struggling daily to provide for your families, being brave in a crime-infested world, standing by your women and children.

We see you crying silently when things go wrong and still having to show a courageous face to the world. We see you trying to cope and evolve. You are respected and appreciated for your goodness.

We are deeply thankful for your love, hard work and support. We salute you and know you are doing the best you can. THE WOMEN WHO NOTICE, EMAIL

A friend suddenly died and it got me thinking. You never receive death notices without being reminded of your mortality. None of us knows who is next. So, give those flowers today.

Yes, we are very busy with our own lives with their many complications.

There is much to do, catastrophes to overcome, and we so easily get entangled in our world and our minds that we do not realise we’re paying less and less attention to someone.

Whether that someone is your child, spouse, parent, acquaintance or friend is irrelevant. What is important is that sometimes we must act before it is too late. Who wants regrets at an open grave?

So, give the flowers, compliments, attention and hugs today. Say that you care today because you do not know whose last day may arrive too suddenly.

At funerals, we tell beautiful stories. It is good, but why not tell them while our loved ones can still hear, appreciate and cherish them?

One never forgets joy. So, make someone’s day today. Tell them what you admire, enjoy or appreciate about them. Make that call, or type that message. TODAY, LANGENHOVEN PARK
