Subject: i love forwards

this one's grate!

I'll try sending this one again! This if the one I thought I'd sent previously, and had given a good review as an introduction, only to find out too late
that a new, blank message had been sent instead of this, even though I thought I was in the message when I forwarded it.
Anyway, that one last time was just the practice one and wasn't an intentional joke, and the message said a lot more than the one the computer decided to
send instead.
What I said about it last time still applies. What it says might not be so relevant to some reading this but hopefully it might help by doing such good
and necessary things as educating and informing.
I hope you like it. I could add my own additions I've thought of but for now I'll leave it to the good author, whoever that is! Sorry for the last messed-up
message.
Any questions regarding anything expressed in this message, please let me know.
From Marissa
----- Original Message ----- Hi.
I thought you might like the following. I'm not sure who wrote them, but they are so true as these things really do happen!
BLESSED ARE THEY that refrain from shouting when they speak to me.
BLESSED ARE THEY that talk directly to me and not to some one else (or talk to me and look at someone else.)
BLESSED ARE THEY that say who they are when entering a room and say hello to me.
BLESSED ARE THEY that say goodbye to me when they leave so I am not left speaking to the air.
BLESSED ARE THEY that say by name the person they are speaking to in a crowd, particularly if it is a blind person.
BLESSED ARE THEY that do not hesitate to say "SEE" when talking to me.
BLESSED ARE THEY who tap my shoulder gently when they approach from behind or from the side when speaking to me.
BLESSED ARE THEY who wait for me to extend my hand before shaking it.
BLESSED ARE THEY who place my hand on a object such as the back of a chair when telling me where it is, so I can seat myself.
BLESSED ARE THEY who do not leave me in a strange environment without orienting me to it.
BLESSED ARE THEY who offer me their arm so they can serve as my guide, instead of grabbing, pulling or shoving me.
BLESSED ARE THEY who come up to me in a large crowd and offer to help me when I appear disoriented.
BLESSED ARE THEY who read me the menu and its prices and allow me to order my own meal.
BLESSED ARE THEY who do not distract my guide dog from being my active eyes.
BLESSED ARE THEY that offer me a job because of my qualifications and don't dismiss me because of my inability to do the job the way they do it.
BLESSED ARE THEY that give useful information when directing me to something, rather than "it's over there" and then proceed to point!
BLESSED ARE THEY who treat me like a human being.
