Sometimes I have to catch myself from misjudging people and I remind myself that for some reason God made them and they too, like myself are in his image. Hard to remember when you stumble upon a crazy person and trust me they are out there. I have a little old man who lives next door to me too and has his same little routines every single day. Inside his house is like its frozen in the 60's.

It's so rare these days. We are way too quick to label people who are a bit outside the norm. I'm studying primary teaching at the moment, and any kid who is a little bit different gets diagnosed and put on pills. I don't know.

I give this man kuddos for daring to be different in a society where not following norms might be perceived as abnormal. I know you're probably sick of me saying this but I have to say it again.

I once met this sweet elderly man after his house burned to the ground. He had some type of cancer and hadn't eaten actual food in over a year (he has been using a feeding tube). And the only thing he wanted out of his burnt down house was a set of wedding rings. He was so positive about everything that came out of his mouth. <br />Once again my friend, such a great writer you are. <br />Love to you darling.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06002205909002689159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620417497874038390.post-72964130816596340992011-01-12T12:09:40.832-05:002011-01-12T12:09:40.832-05:00So well written... kind of just drew me in as I re...So well written... kind of just drew me in as I read it.

It is good that you are so accepting of that man and, as Haley K said, he is obviously very comfortable in his own skin. I think you have to admire that in a person.
