Morning all. A bit philosophical today. My freezer is rammed full of Christmas goodies, the presents are all wrapped and under the tree. I'm sitting here working with the heating on, I've just made an appointment to get my nails done on Thursday. We are all in good health. There are so many people who do not have those luxuries and cannot even meet their basic needs. I am very blessed and fortunate.
I'm a shockingly bad Catholic but the bible story about the sheep and the goats has never left me. I so didn't want to be a goat ( Matthew 25 31-46 if you're interested) so I do try to give something back to those in need but, especially at this time of year, I really do count my blessings.
That was a bit depressing so here's a story that involves me Slimming World, a night out and a homeless person. I had been out on the town and was getting the last bus home from Darlington. To get to the bus stop you have to pass Burger King. Double Whopper with cheese I think. Then remember this is Saturday, Slimming World weigh in on Monday.But the devil on my shoulder really wanted a burger. So I bought one. Got outside with my burger in its bag and immediately regretted my purchase. There was a homeless person in the doorway of the next shop. I handed him my double Whopper "Here mate, have this" He looked in the bag and said "Didn't you get any chips?" FFS! No pleasing some people.
