Beauty and the Beast
This is a blog post with a different kind of beauty. This is about how we can touch the hearts
of those around us with something as simple as a smile or a mere acknowledgement.
Today I had the privilege to meet a young man called Nathan and his mum
Nathan is 8 years old with a dilating disability which sadly prevents him from walking.
among many other things. but he's was a bright young man with the love of life and his very
favourite thing DOGS, This was never more evident today when he spotted my chihuahua Beast (real
name) she is eight months old long coat who like Nathan loved life and meeting new people. His
entire face lit up the moment he cast his eyes on my little dogs face he gestured to me that he wanted to stroke beastie. So I knelt down to let beast jump on my knee so Nathan could stroke her.
Beast was more than happy to suddenly receive this unexpected fuss and she is a people loving dog!
Nathan wanted to give Beast a kiss and a cuddle as any little child would so after aquiering
permission from his mum I gently placed Beast on Nathan's lap. I could not fault Beast as she was so good she just sat on Nathan's lap while he's cuddling her and kissing her. To see Nathan so happy and so Content was lovely and to see his mum happy as well was extremely heart warming that I made that little boy smile just by sharing my dog for five minutes!
So never forget if you see some one who make look down to perhaps more disadvantaged to you
then a smile or a gentle acknowledgement can really brighten there day, and cheer you up as well.
