Reading Twilight series and getting sucked in.  Through two and half books in four days.  It's been awhile since I've been so consumed.

If you want to help me change the autism world, now is a great time to pitch in!  Donate, like, and share today!  If I reach the half-way mark of my fundraising goal by November 15th, I'll be donating an extra 25 to public libraries and family resource centers.

When an old man died in the geriatric ward of a nursing home in an Australian country town, it was believed that he had nothing left of any value.
Later, when the nurses were going through his meager possessions, They found this poem. Its quality and content so impressed the staff that copies were made and distributed to every nurse in the hospital.

One nurse took her copy to Melbourne. The old man's sole bequest to posterity has since appeared in the Christmas editions of magazines around the country and appearing in mags for Mental Health. A slide presentation has also been made based on his simple, but eloquent, poem.

And this old man, with nothing left to give to the world, is now the author of this 'anonymous' poem winging across the Internet.

Cranky Old Man

What do you see nurses? . . .. . .What do you see?

The focus on bullying seems to be dying down, but the reality is nothing has changed.  Bullying is still ruining lives...and it starts young and never stops unless we make it stop.  Don't tolerate bullying!
