A Listening Ear

A Listening Ear By Joan Truscott I thought I’d made an error today, when I bumped into my neighbour on the way. How are you Mrs Malone? I didn’t expect her to grumble and moan. She replied, “My knees ache and my tummy is sore.” Jokes aside, her bowels aren’t regular anymore. Did I know about her painful arthritis, her hurting hips and excruciating bursitis? I tried to change the subject and talk about the weather, did I know the summer heat gave her swollen feet? Eventually she said “Thanks my dear, I really needed a listening ear.” I realised as she walked away, I had performed a good deed today
