Help those who live in fear

Far too many people live in fear, 

Far too many people lack in confidence,

It's also very clear, 

Far too many people suffer in silence.

Please give others an extra thought, 

Don't assume they are just like you, 

Consider their lives may be extremely fraught,

So, before you assume a thought or two, 

Watch and listen and show you care,

For you never know you might just help

some one to stop living in fear.

Help all victims post . . .

Another find today . . . there are many reasons why humans can be so cruel, and there is a certain amount we can all put up with, but there is a limit as to how much our systems, our families and friends can cope with . . . try helping someone today towards a healthier lifestyle.

We are all put on this planet for a reason but abuse is not one of them.

If you know of anyone, young, middle aged or old, who is showing signs of distress, physical abuse or indeed mental abuse, please gently and quietly help them find a healthier path to walk.

On behalf of many - thank you

Spare an extra thought . . .

On the human front as well as working with all different ages we work with some very special elderly people and this post is dedicated to them.

Sometimes we all forget, with our own personal lives, that these wonderful people all had a busy life in their past, but due to circumstances now live alone for the majority of a day. Their highlights being often just a relaxing radio station, the television or cd's which are set up to repeat and repeat and repeat. For some they live in silence, listening to the sound of the birds, the cars driving along the road, the rain or people and dog watching out of their window or the deafening sound of machines, oxygen machines, machines in hospitals. For others they look forward to their carers going in, this often being the highlight of their day, albeit for often just ten or fifteen minutes each time. Some elderly individuals are made comfortable in bed at an early hour, and have to stay there for often more than 12 hours . . . What thoughts, would go through your head if you were stationary for all those hours

Perhaps we could start this off :

1 I would so much like to just talk to so and so, but I feel I would be a nuisance, they have a busy life to lead.
2 I wonder what news my Carer will bring me this morning?
3 I wonder how my Carers daughter is today
4 If only I could just get up and move a bit
5 I feel I am such a nuisance asking everyone to do my shopping for me
6 I would so like to do my own shopping, at a quiet time though, because my ears can't cope with all the noise now.
7 I love having my family together but sometimes I find it difficult to hear them and often get frustrated, so sometimes I just say no, thank you, I'll not come over today, not because I don;'t want to
8 I feel I am just in the way
9 I wish everyone wouldn't come at once, I live in a partly silent world for the majority of the world these days and find it too much these days, it's exhausting and the personal conversation I would so like to have doesn't take place
10 I am so lucky having my personal carers, they are like family, they are the highlight of my day, my family live so far away you see.
11 I would love to have visits from some younger children, they make me feel young but often they think I am a fuddy duddy.
12 I so wish I still had my cat or dog, they were such company, maybe I could have a budgie! or a visiting cat or dog instead.

13 I wish more people would connect on my 'ageing level' of communication.
14 I can't take in a normal conversation any more, I feel I am closing in, it would be so wonderful if people could talk about something that I can remember or a topic that I feel relaxed to talk about or something along the lines of my 'old work' or ask me questions about my school days or when I was a child - I can remember these things and talking about such things stimulates that side of my brain that is ageing quicker than I think

During their moments of quiet, they think of their families, their grand children, the horses, dogs and/or cats they used to have but now they just have that favourite photograph sitting on the mantle piece of perhaps their much loved pet or wife or husband. often finding themselves speaking to the picture wishing so much that they were still with them. Or looking at the picture of their Son or daughter, Grand children wondering ' I wonder what they are doing now' or reminiscing on days gone by,perhaps their first swimming lesson, or their first day at school.

But during this same day while they are thinking their 'family thoughts' many of their families are busy working in the office, wondering perhaps what they are going to go out and buy for lunch, or who they are going to see in the pub on that evening, or perhaps what they are going to have or cook for tea, or thinking ' I suppose we will have to go and see Granddad and Granny this weekend.

Our elders often live and breathe for us on a 24/7 basis, a question for us all should be ' how often do we think about our Grandparents, or does it sometimes seem a chore to visit these wonderful olderly folk.

Grandparents should be treasured, they are full of a wealth of experience and wisdom and should be accepted as they are on the day of visiting, not as they used to be, they can not take time back, they are what they are, precious human beings with a History, a history of sadness and happiness, much of which we have yet to experience or are experiencing. They can be your Staff and Mentor, until that day when you become their Staff and Mentor. Enjoy them, sit with them, play music with them, talk to them or read them a story, enjoy a conversation about yester years, that was their life, that is what they know and was what they loved.

Often they feel inadequate because they are not able to dry the dishes or remember where the cutlery should go or remember which drawer the pans go in, these little things are not important, does it really matter where the cutlery goes, or where that frying pan is put, it may irritate us, but they think they are doing right, let them think this otherwise it creates a feeling of contempt for all, an upset that is, in reality, not necessary or indeed healthy.

Perhaps if they have to go to the toilet, rather than getting up to wash that dish, or move the dropped t.v controller, sit, just sit in the silence and feel what they feel, think what they think with what you see around their room, they sit in it for often more than 12 hours a day spare them an extra thought tomorrow. They are visually not with us forever, enjoy these treasured moments, because one day it will be too late.

On behalf of many . . thank you for taking time to read these few thoughts.

Help needed - are you clued up on Wordpress 2014 and . . .

One of our wonderful Clients had an ingenious idea and we would like to share it with you. 

During a conversation we were saying to H, that we are in the process of updating our Website but unlike previous wordpress programmes, we were having trouble understanding Wordpress 2014, her comments were ' well, for all the articles, kindness and help you have given to people and animals why not see if anyone out there can help you, after all you have nearly 13,000  viewers on this blog and not once have you asked for help with any of these issues, there must surely be someone out there who could return half your kindness" feeling humbled at that idea but also with us having a stubborn streak we said " no, no we will manage, but having posted a request for another Client yesterday and to manage to get her a result within 24 hours we thought, well, you know there is  no harm in trying so here we go   . . . 

"We are wondering if you know of any one who is particularly experienced with Wordpress 2014 and who might have a couple of hours to spare to help us. If so would you be so kind as to email us by pressing this  link (Nature'sPhysician) or add a comment at the end of this posting. 

This request could suit someone who is either retired, knowledgeable about Wordpress, filled with ingenious ideas and perhaps with an artistic flare,  or perhaps someone who is clued up in the same, but for some reason is off work at the moment, or perhaps a student who needs a project for an exam or experiencing 'inbetweenie time' . . this could be your chance to help create something truly wonderful with the result of us all being able to help more animals and humans in this wide and massive world we live in.  

Thank you so much for taking time to read this request for help. Feel free to look at some of our previous posts and if any are of specific interest to you and something that you would like to be part of feel free to contact us for further information. 

You would also be welcome to join us if you would like to find yourself on another platform or to extend your talents or skills in Artwork, Photography Recording, Music or Computer graphics or if you have a skill that you think would enhance animals lives then this could be your starting platform. Often people have skills but do not like to show them, but showing them through this kind of Media is less intrusive. if you would like to know more feel free to contact us at this LINK or leave a comment in the box below. 

If you can paint anything from a
Sunset to a butterfly we
would be interested

    

If you have a 1 minute self created piece of
music we would be interested to hear it

If you have any paintings of animals,
no matter how old you are 
we would be interested

If you have a two or three lined pieces 
of poetry that relates to animals who have 
had an unhappy life or who are 
now happy then we would be 
interested

From all who are involved in the work we do and of course our initiator thank you for taking time to read this post. .
