Lets get to what I was unconciously getting to in a minute...for now lets talk about.... People who are genuine. People who are good. People who do good, even when nobody knows, and they wont get credit, I love these people. People who tell the truth, regardless of consequences. They're all around me. No, Im not delusional, if youre not any of these things youre not around me, and Im not around you. I can exit faster than tony the tiger, and when I need to Im clever and have a bag of trix like felix the cat. How do you know? Eyes, face, hand and body movements should be coincidental to words, phrases, consistent themes and what pack theyre from....genuine. Good? AAAAAAAA...one million AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH's We are all good or we would not exist, not my philosophy, St. Augustine, brilliant clergymen. So we are good and vary in the level of how good we are good, less good, not so good, really leaning towards pretty badddddd.....&C...Ok, you get the idea, and youve taken philosophy too, let move on...Good is consistently seeking mutual or individual (yours not my) benefit(s), good seeks to nuture to speak the truth, regardless of whether anybody wants to hear it, no matter how many times and ways its been said, good stands alone and takes the abuse from the critical, who try to split it apart; you cant the truth is the greatest and the least common denominator. googling is good, let people be anonomous, out there or not, but let them be themselves, this is a good, Thank you Google! HA! (Not too funny I know), anyway.... The residents of woodlawn are getting together on December 3rd to raise funds for Anita Ainsworth a local woman with a life and death situation. goodness is about something that will last when we are gone; its someones legacy, their children, their values, their advice, their career, their stamina, being or trying to be someone that your ancesters would admire and your grandchildren will wish to surpass, encouraged and inspired. goodness is indivisible, like I said, but is is also not marred by anything. You cant throw mud on it, because it's like teflon. Ok, so thats good to me. Now whats not good? Selfishness, vanity, any form of inhospitable behaviour, intollerance, dishonesty: lack of integrity, pessimism. Me? I just cant prove to you people around me that Im better off making my way my way. (selfish) I cant do one thing at a time.(Lack of integrity, stablity and tollerance). But good: As for me, Im called to do a lot of things with my skills. I cant be just a writer. I cant and I wont. I pray you, Dear Lord, let me live to be 92, just 92, and Ill get it all done somehow with your help. I prayed, give the eigth years to that girl in the paper, (this is where it occurred to me that she was on my mind, I said, "what's her name?" hmmmmmm, "she's called?: wait, let me go see, hmmmmmmmmmm.........)" ANITA AINSWORTH, 27 OF WOODLAWN FUNDRAISER ON DEC. 3 IN WOODLAWN, SHE NEEDS A DOUBLE LUNG TRANSPLANT, I beat my self up, "IM TOO SELFISH AND FEARFUL that Ill need my two lungs, that Ill loose one and die with just one," ..incidentally, (Ive been asked when going for medical treatment if Im an organ donor and Im not sure if we're allowed to donate, perhaps the Catholic Church should make an announcement?) And excuses, excuses: I am LIKE SO MANY WHO WOULD ASK IF IT WERE THEM..SO SHE IS IN MY PRAYERS AND THIS BLOG, AND MAYBE SHE'LL GET A DONOR. If not maybe you'd like to make a donation of some other kind $$$$$???? A Lung, which is what she needs; a matching tissue Lung, in time... This happened to a two friend's of mine with 1) her husbands kidney he lived and 2)her sister's, she had gotten a previous transplant and was old and had other problems and died. I couldn't bring myself offer my healthy kidneys then either. Maybe they wouldnt want them anyway since I take medication for so many years now. I read it in the Irish Voice Thanksgiving Day on my way back from Manhattan. It all came back to me. When I learned about her husbands kidney transplant it had already happened, and the other woman? I just was hoping it would never happen to me and saying prayers and feeling guilty I was healthy. I may die the same way when no one gives me a transplant; I may need one, because I take medication, and I considered this, and made the choice not to donate, and I continue with the medication. I was not asked in either instance, but there is an Albanian proverb: "When you offer nothing, ask for nothing." So what do I do when my kidneys give way? (Hope for Providence to deliver me like He did my friend's husband and so many). ANITA AINSWORTH, OF WOODLAWN NEEDS A DOUBLE LUNG TRANSPLANT, SHE IS TWENTY SEVEN YEARS OLD, VERY MUCH IN LOVE AND HAS A CHILD. She cant even do her adls and she has a disease called LAMS which usually effects woman of childbearing age. This is my contribution to her cause, not because Im good, because this is what we do, The Dundon's, our faith, the community and those who are concious of their connection to humanity. Stop thinking of just you and your family and friends, do something for someone, because strangers have helped you so often yourself. This could be your husband, sister or you, next.
