Christmas reflections

The end of yet another year is upon us so quickly again, its incredible the way that time literally seems to fly. It's supposed to be a time to be merry and jolly but sometimes things are never what they should be, it's with this in mind I would like you to take a moment to think of those less fortunate than ourselves. It would be very easy to simply turn and look the other way, but if we were to open our minds and look at homelessness and the less fortunate it would release us from all the inhibitions that bind us in life. I only say this because I have seen it with my own eyes the ‘I’m not bothered’ mentality that has engrossed mankind, I speak out of personal experience, experience, I used to live in this exact manner till I got a second chance, I became homeless. HOMELESS! I hear you echoing back, yes being homeless freed me from all the material wishes and trivial little things I fantasised about, I realised that in the greater aspect of life, they count for absolutely nothing. So at this time of year I urge you to think of the less unfortunate.
