DIARY OF A MAD
SEA MONKEY LADY

Oh my gosh!
I cannot
believe the generosity of people on the 'net. Last week I found
a donation in my inbox. $100 US from Jill Sylvan to keep the site
alive! I cannot
honestly believe it. So kind of her, because now I can afford to keep
the site alive another 18 months! 18 months! Oh my gosh! I cannot thank
her enough. I asked her why she donated
to the site -- a random act of kindness. Indeed!
So I'm trying to "pay it
forward" -- I heard the movie was awful, but the idea is sound.
I've counselled a young girl on career choices, offered a homeless man
a cup of coffee, and looked after another homeless man's bike while he
went into the charity shop. I know it's not much, but I'm trying my
best!
Last year,
I joined an organization called
Join Me, started by Danny
Wallace to commit random acts of kindness to total strangers.
No reason, just the fun of doing nice things for people. I have been
trying to do my random acts, but the lack of funds and the lack of
energy often gets in the way. But my zeal for kindness is renewed, and
I shall follow Jill Sylvan's example and offer what I can to people
just for the heck of it!!!
So a huge thank you to Jill! There are nice people in this
world and I cannot
show my appreciation enough, can I? I hope the fact that this site
remains alive for
the next 18 months shows my gratitude. Thank you!
