Yesterday I had lunch with my friend Brian. Brian is a 60 something, 6 ft 2, handsome Irish man ...A tall drink of water, my grandmother would say... Brian is recently blind. Diabetes stole his sight slowly and now he lives in darkness.

Brian is taking on his new life like an adventure. You won't hear him be angry, full or self pity or despair. No. Brian is optimistically facing his dark new world with a sense of discovery.

He told me how recently a coffee clerk told him his 100 dollar bill was really a 5 and consequently he came home short 97 dollars. He told me of a street performer who sent him down some dark alleys instead of in the direction of the T station. But he said..."Annie, for every negative experience there are 100 positives." Not long ago an Asian woman took him to the T, rode with him to his next stop and delivered him to his destination. All the time he protested and told her she did not have to go out of her way...and she said "I have the time,no problem". She gave him the gift security and sight for 45 minutes. Then there was the older woman (he presumed this by the way she moved and spoke) who took him to Govt' Center and then to South Station after asking her companion to take her packages home. She told him of the story of her Father having diabetes late in life and she would have hoped someone would have shown him kindness when he was in need. Pay it forward.

Brian says he does not refuse help anymore because he wouldn't want the person offering to be discouraged and not offer to another person with a disability. I am selling Brian's home and he is buying a home with sidewalks to town... He wants to give his wife some relief from driving him and he needs to renew his independence.

I am inspired by his "glass half full" mentality. I challenge you to reach out to people. You could be helping my friend Brian.

And Oh, Stop your Bitching... Life is Good. Ask Brian.

Peter Pan is playing at the HIGHFIELD THEATER in FALMOUTH for the next 3 weekend... This is magic! We all know the story about Pan who "won't grow up" and Tink who is very jealous of Wendy... We all remember wanting to fly and be one of the "lost boys". This is a story that is near and dear to children around the world and it is being magically performed by the Falmouth Theater Guild on Depot Road in Falmouth.

I had the pleasure of seeing the dress rehearsal. Me and 300 other people. You see, the Board of Directors invited the local Nursing homes, half way houses and other local groups to fill the seats for a preview of the show. Of course, not only does this benefit the audience with a free show but gives the actors an opportunity to hear where the laughs will come and work on their timing.

My sellers who have a house full of Foster Children came and loved the show. They would not have been able to come if they had to pay for their seats... HOW GREAT IS THAT? What a gift from the Falmouth THEATER GUILD To the community! This is forward thinking on the part of the Board.

The actors fly and dance and sing.... You find your self wide eyed with expectant joy when the pirates come down the aile or the children begin to fly....

Hook is both frightening and lovable... Rob Minsal plays him for all the laughs and enjoyment of the audience... Our office just sold his house for him...

If you find yourself on Cape Cod and want to thrill your kids... take in this show... but know the buzz is out that this is a must see....so get your tix early!
