Who would ever imagine Dubai is in debt by billions of dollars.
They were swimming in cash, spends fortunes on real estate
developments, hire someone else to do their chores while they
merrily frolick in the sun.
Their debt situation has repercussions in the world economy.
As if the economy is not bad enough.
Is the world economy really on the road to recovery?
Who knows the truth?
Everyone suffers, one way or another. This drives up the cost of living.
And who is looking out for the guys the the bottom of the totem pole?

Simple Gestures Warm the Heart the Most
It is not the expensive gifts that matter when one is so sick.
A friend down the road came for a brief visit with some home- baked cookies
and marshmallow squares. She knew I was sick, lost my appetite and can
hardly keep anything down. She asked if I needed her to keep me company
overnight. Her husband just passed away - and still deep in her grieving.
She is such a gentle soul. Very kind of her to come and sit with me for an afternoon.
The day before, my winter wood supply was delivered. I told him I was too sick to pile up the wood. Would he be kind enough to do it for me? I was willing to pay him extra. Not only did he stack up all three face cords of wood, at no extra charge, he brought me a Tim Horton soup.
Another friend lent me an air purifier to make my breathing easier. They even
offered to vacuum my house. I am too sick to call my cleaning lady.
Even a simple telephone call is so heartwarming when one is confined
and house-bound.
Feeling much better, I can not help but feel so blessed and ever so grateful that
there are caring people in this world of ours that many deem to be cruel.
