This weekend I had not made plans to go visit a children
home that I volunteer at but my plans fell through and I ended up there.
Let’s just say my weekend was one of belly laughter until my
stomach hurt.
There is this lovely lady who works there and since she
works in shifts, either day or night I found her there and as the day came to
an end we went home together. She has embarked on a project of rearing pigs and
on Saturday she was carrying the left over food for her piglets and that is
what began my laughter.
We give too much worry in things when the simplest plan is
usually what works best. My friend put the food in multiple Plastic paper bags,
tied a piece of cloth around it and swung it on her back and we proceeded to
where we were to take the bus and what got me is that it started raining and
since I had a small umbrella I explained to her that it could not cover both of
us and her answer is the one that got me bent over with laughter.
She explained to me that she does not have any work for
umbrellas and that she never carries one no matter what and she went ahead to
ask me why trees don’t use umbrellas and she said that she had no time to waste using one.
We got to the bus stop and she squeezed herself in the bus
and was so ready to get to her pigs, she was soaking wet without a care in the
world. Her goal was to get her pigs fed period and anybody who had a problem
with that was not her concern.
I needed the belly laugh, she made my weekend. Simply
living.
