RE: Day 835: 5 Minute Freewrite: Sunday - Prompt: a long white beard
I'm pretty sure this is my weirdest in 2 years of freewriting :)

@fitinfun Sometimes people who act mean just need some kindness showed to them. There was a man living across from my Mother, no one liked him they all said he was mean to them and he was always yelling at people for parking on the road in front of his house when Mom would have a yard sale. I went over and talked to him and told him I would put a sign up for people not to park there, after that he was nice and got along with the neighbors.
This is often a good approach ... many mean old people just need someone to show them some respect and love ... they are lonely and feel abandoned and so act out, but respect and love are the secret to peace ...
@deeanndmathews yes, those are also my thoughts, it is like a stranger is a friend you have not met.
