The weather forecast for today, is Happy, with lots of love.
I volunteered at a Funfair recently. It was a Carnival, to raise funds, for special needs kids.
The unpredictable evening, began with predictable fun, as me and my mates (who had volunteered alongside me), stepped into our respective stalls, to lure in potential customers, screaming at the top of our voices, not giving our lungs a chance to recuperate the lost Oxygen.
Also, as I was a Volunteer, I got to go directly into the facility, and got a private tour of the art, made by the children.
Tapestries, Sewn cushion covers, and Paintings engulfed me in an overwhelming sense of insight, as I experienced the world, from their eyes.
One, showed children playing together. The other, showed the same (somewhat). Another showed a boy, and his Grandpa. After quite a tear-jerking tour, (thanks to my stall manager, whose name, I’d rather not mention*), I headed back to the stalls, determined to sell as much as I could, just to help out these kids.
After a while of some good bargaining, and selling quite a load of things, we headed off towards the stage, where the little ones where scheduled to have a show.
Standing there, amidst the throng, while the Children performed on stage, it hit me. They're no different than us. All they seek, like us, is acceptance; they don't want to outshine, or even shine, they just want to be a part of the crowd; they don't want eyes to turn. They merely wish to belong.
Live, to make a difference.
Live, and you may just as well, be the difference.
Isn't that what the final objective in life is? Eventually, it isn't the amount of money that you have, or the number of properties that you own, or even how good you were, academically. In the end, it's all about how many people cried at your Funeral, how many people even turned up.
After a heart-warming experience** I was astounded, by the wonderfulness of this planet, that we call Earth.
This is Life.
PS: As a public plea to all, I request anyone and everyone, who are reading this, to please, do all you can to help out in the cause of these little darlings. Oh and make them feel, like they belong.

*In all honesty, I actually seemed to have forgotten her name. How unfortunate.
**Well, that probably is the understatement of the millennia, but some things, just cannot be explained.
