thought for the day

I think the real answer would have been they were afraid of meeting an old sick person because it would make them feel bad. The problem with our age is that everything should aways be a "high experience". Everything should be fun and make you feel happy. And meeting a reminder of another reality is too much. People are afraid of sorrow, and strong "negative" emotions to the extent they abandon their friends and family as soon as it is a question of a life situation that won't be handled with a get-well-soon card or "things will get better soon".
People forget there is a lot of positivity in the so-called sad situations. There is affection, love, and touch. There are memories, a chance to remember good things. And a chance to have closure if the other person is nearing the end of their physical life. Yes, it is sad too, but there are deep positive aspects in it, not cheap quick "highs", but true memories and love that will make you smile for the rest of your life.
Don't abandon your family and friends when they meet with difficulties, sickness and the end of their life. Be there for them - and you will find out they are there for you too.

Finally, she could not take it anymore and got out of bed. She walked into the living room, so she wouldn’t wake up Ellie, who slept clutching her toy Black Beauty in her hand. The room was dark as there was no moonlight. She went over to the window and looked down into the courtyard. There was a single lamp in the middle, which only lit the centre of the empty courtyard. Mr. Brown had been taken in for the night. Kaylee was just about to turn away from the window when a light appeared on the mountainside behind the castle gate. No, not just one light. Several lights. They blinked into view one by one, and they formed a sign Kaylee knew well. It was the ancient Egyptian sign of the ankh, the symbol of life. The main door to the castle was almost directly underneath Kaylee's family's rooms, and now someone was running out through it. It was Dan. He hurried to the stables, opening a pair of doors. The headlights of a car came on and he drove out of the garage and towards the gate. It opened for him and he stepped on the gas and skidded onto the bridge. Kaylee saw the car's red taillights heading up the mountainside. One by one, the lights went out in quick succession. When Dan's car reached the area where they had been, no other lights but the car's were visible. Kaylee observed the car turning back and it soon drove into the courtyard again. Another figure appeared from the doorway beneath Kaylee. Mr. Wherrett in his wheelchair. Dan took the car to the garage and then walked across to Mr. Wherrett. Kaylee opened the window as quietly as she could – and thankfully, the hinges were well oiled, it seemed. "Did you catch anyone?" she heard Mr. Wherrett asking. "No. As before, they vanished into thin air. Of course, they spot the headlights and escape. One day I’ll catch them." - Leena Maria / The Seven Shabtis 1 / The House of the Morning Sun / Chapter 3: To the Village |

I sell my books directly too - the ebooks are cheap to buy and the big e-stores don't share much to the author. So I have downloaded my ebooks to Payhip - they don't take commission and I get more to pay for my editor, proofreader and cover designer. All of whom are one-woman businesses themselves. (You get the ebook in your preferred e-reader format.) |
If you prefer to write a short happy note each day, I have created planners for this effect. You can write your daily happiness in the squares of the weekly spread - and plan future happiness using the monthly pages. There are even happy (repositionable) stickers included in the planner.
