Hi Kathy,

    Great article. Marilyn Ali has an article on fear. I think that people turn their backs on people in need because of fear.

    They fear the unknown, and they fear the results of their actions could lead to more action.

People do not want to get involved in other peoples problems.

   When you throw aside the fear you can begin to start living a productive and satisfying life.

Thank you, Kathy.

Your Good Friend

hello kathy.. Boy where do you get all these cool stuffs from..??

it reminds me of the first time I stopped in at a little town on route 2 in massachusettes, Erving..Ma, it was called the box car. small as a box and very quaint..i sat and ordered .while I ate the proprietor (tony) a women from the south would ask hows the food ,since she cooked it.. I ordered a grilled ham and cheese with a slice of tomatoe on wheet bread with french fries.. Which became my ussual from then on. As i sat and ate my usaul an elderly couple came in with a small very slender boy i'd guess 8 or 9 years old. they becgan to look at the hand made menu as the elder gent asked how much for a cup of coffe. the waitress replied $1.00 "A DOLLAR" the man nearly shouted.. Then he allowed his Mrs to order soup and --ONLY french fries for the boy.. I couldn't help but notice how (small) the boy (Acted) slunched at the table and slowly eating his fries quietly. Seemly not to upset his (grandfather) or guardian?? This poor little guy i thought as i was getting ready to pay and leave. I pulled a 5 from my wallet and told the waitress to get the boy what ever he could have with it.. i'd say two weeks went by and I returned and Tony screached hello its' you I regonize the cowboy hat..(I have still)  She said the waitress was to shy to handle my request so she gave that boy food like he never had before.. tony also said here you can have your 5 back too.. I said thanks and great now i can get my ussual since this time i only had 2 bucks on me.. It was a start of a great friendship, for the next year from then.. the boy and women stopped in once that I was told and asked if their highway angle had been in? Tony said they wanted to make sure I knew they said thank you...   this past year the caboose was sold from the owners and tony is trieing to start a new one.. to bad it was a real nice box to eat in..  I keep in touch with tony still via email.
