Being relatively new to blogging I was not aware until just now that today is Blog Action Day, a day for bloggers to all focus on the same topic: POVERTY, aimed at stirring a world-wide discussion and focus on this inexcusable problem. Inexcusable, that's my opinion. We live in a world of abundance tarnished by an ever present sense of greed. It's so easy to turn a blind eye and step over the person in need on the way to wherever we think we deserve to go, gathering more than our share along the way. How much better off the world would be if we all practiced what we learned in preschool - SHARE. Such a simple concept, even a child can learn to do that. Why is it so hard for us "grown-ups"?
So I will turn my thoughts today to my own actions..... Where do I see unmet need? What will I do about it?
We can all do more. It's a responsibility, and approached with the right spirit, it's a privilege.

Great Idea, I am sure I miss opportunities that are often right in front of me. Even with the economic scare right now...we make up the richest nation in the world and should never forget to count our many blessings
So true-there are needs all around us in daily life. I know I should try harder to reach out to those who have less and are in true need. I hope I can do that more in the future.
Great post! I missed the action day. I'll share today.
