We all know nothing matters to democraps. They seek what they can be given, not what they can achieve.

THE WOODEN BOWL
A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year-old grandson.

The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered.

The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and Failing
sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor.

When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth.

The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess.
'We must do something about father,' said the son.
'I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.'

So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner.
There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner.
Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl.

When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat
alone.
Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled
food.

The four-year-old watched it all in silence.

One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor.
He asked the child sweetly, 'What are you making?'

Just as sweetly, the boy responded, 'Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up.
' The four-year-old smiled and went back to work..

The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done.

That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table.
For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither
husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the
tablecloth soiled.

On a positive note, I've learned that, no matter what happens, how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles four things:
A rainy day, the elderly, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.
I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as making a 'life..'

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back sometimes.

I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you; But, if you focus on your family, your friends, the
needs of others, happiness will find you.

As I and others have been posting here for awhile here now, the South African troubles will not go away. They will only get worse. Today was a very bad day over there and the wires and social media sites there are ablaze at the shootings of protest workers by heavily armed AMPLATS security. Politically,this is a disaster for the South African government as it has been moving to side with the miners and people against the big mining companies. They will be under tremendous pressure to do something against AMPLATS, maybe even revoking some mining licenses?

So now the mining companies,particularly the biggest, have not only rising costs to deal with but an irate workfarce and now SA government as well!

I tell you, I can not think of anything more favourable for our SWC and PAL in SAFE, SECURE, PRODUCTIVE North America!
