Just Share It Series

                                                          Everyday is a brand new day,
                                                           everyday is a journey.



My soul is sailing through the sea,
But the past is heavy and hindereth me.
The past hath crusted cumbrous shells
That hold the flesh of cold sea-mells
About my soul.
The huge waves wash, 
the high waves roll,
Each barnacle clingeth and worketh dole
And hindereth me from sailing.

--Sidney Lanier.

I receive many e-mails from friends and family who like to share with me an encouraging poem, verse or story. Sometimes, it's a funny antidote or a serious topic worth sharing. The point is that people share things as a way to keep in touch or to educate or even to lighten the load of daily life. 

I appreciate all of these e-mails and thought to myself to share with all of you. This will be a series that I hope to continue as I keep receiving these e-mails. I do have some requirements, of course. 

1. Keep it clean. If not everyone can read it, we won't post it. 
2. Let it off in one of the above topics (encouraging, funny, serious topic).

You can send them to me via e-mail at wladyslawakrol@yahoo.com. Thank you in advance and let's start with our very first "Just Share It" and please remember, this isn't to offend anyone. Enjoy!

Can you imagine wanting to make sure you drove by a certain gas station every day?   Just to see what the message was on the chalk board?

The lady behind this wonderful initiative at Hutton Hyde Park is Alison Billett.
She told SA People: �We inherited the board from the previous owner, Dick Hutton, when we bought the filling station from him almost 20 years ago.
�We continued the tradition and it has become a landmark �more so now that it�s on social media!

 

�Not a day goes by when I don�t get a call or a visit from someone to tell me how much they appreciate the message � it seems that every day there�s something that just speaks to what is going on in someone�s life and that inspires or motivates them.

 


 
�Having people come and tell me their stories and how the quote helped them in some small way is what motivates me to keep writing!
�We use a variety of quotations � some are topical, some are funny, some are inspirational, some even reflect what is going on in my life that day!

 

�Different things appeal to different people�

 


 
�The boards were spotted by a motivational speaker from the UK, Geoff Ramm, when he was driving by one day and he was so taken by them he included a piece about them in his book!

 


 
The boards have appeared many times in newspapers and magazines and been spoken about on radio stations all over the world. 9GAG has re-tweeted them a few times too!
Bob 95 FM in the USA recently posted Alison's "Rest in Peace" quote which has now been shared over a quarter of a million times around the world!

 

Those who would disrespect our flag have never been handed a folded one.

Have a blessed day everyone.
