WISE WORDS Letter

A glimmer of hope

WHETHER WALKING or driving locally, you can’t avoid noticing the litter, dog poo and messed up verges as you go out of the village centre.

On top of this, two car parks along Dominion Road are constantly full of vehicles which don’t appear to move –(or don’t seem to be able to) - including a variety of commercial vehicles. This doesn’t create a positive image for the range of shopping opportunities nearby.

As you leave the centre, Glenfield looks care-worn, unkempt and untidy. I have never wanted to get into the heads of those who spoil our environment – I can’t see they’d be very pleasant places to go. With head down, so I can avoid the poo which is left by careless owners, my stance makes me feel low!

And then, to add a glimmer of hope that all is not lost – the post box topper on the busy Dominion Road junction appears! What a contrast to the otherwise dreary surroundings! A light to brighten the dullness! It spreads a smile on my previously disappointed face and puts a spring in my step. Thank you! Do we have ourselves our very own “Glenfield Banksy”?

People who are generous are constantly giving things away: courage, money, introductions – whatever is needed. Look around today and see what you have in abundance that others might be lacking.
