A Second Chance...

I was sent a link to YouTube about people getting a second chance in life after making terrible mistakes at an early age. Its interesting to see that many prisoners have been forgotten even though that may have not been intentional. There have been many good people to make a bad decision that cost a lifetime of woes for them and all in their lives. I am glad someone is showing concern over guys that need a second chance. I believe that everyone deserves an opportunity to prove their worth even if they've made bad decisions...especially if was in their youth. Where would many of us be now had not someone along the way decided we needed a chance to change? We are all members of this country, and world,that has been undergoing tremendous suffering, and finally, tremendous change. We all know people close to us,and even see strangers on a daily basis, who have experienced some extreme circumstances in this strange time. It takes just a moment to pass along a smile,a positive word,maybe even a handshake after we've been told for so long that aint appropriate and safe behaviour. Someone needs to know somebody cares . . So as today comes alive and we go about our routines give somebody a handshake, or a good word...let somebody who needs to knoaw it,know you care that they deserve a chance. We can't all become all things to all people, but we can be a helping hand in someone getting a chance! And I'll sit on my treestump and make an atttempt to be busy contemplating this lesson a bit longer...and that will be another tale from the tree stump.
