Survival..............

In the high desert just inside Jordan there is a refugee camp called
Za'Atari....Here thousangs of Syrians have fled to from the brutal
civil war in their country...The story goes on to tell of how many
of these refugee's  make a larger window in their one room pre-fab...
with a saw.... it is here that they put out their wares to sell....proving
that living a life of normalcy is high on their priority list. I salute and
admire their amazing perseverance...initiative...and hope...This is a
lesson for most of us Americans who cannot even begin to imagine
what this kind of life would be like...I pray that one day they can
return to their own country....in peace
Take care all..............................Louisa

Human Interest Story.........................................

Saw this in a People magazine...the Johnson family took
themselves and their son and his friend out one Christmas
to pass out their homemade breakfast burritos to the homeless...
I believe this was San Diego... more boys have joined the group
and they call themselves the Burrito Boyz...they have to date
passed out 51,000 homemade breakfast burritos...Wonderful to
read this....I have to say sorry football and baseball athletes...these boys are the real hero's and exceptional role models for the youth of
the world...God Bless them and their amazing hearts....full of compassion.....
So until next time dear peeps....I Louisa will see you in the funny
papers........XO Louisa
