This is Fruitycake. The simplest things in life are often the most complicated. Isn’t that true? I mean, you look at me. I’m a dog. But I’m much more than that, right? You are a person. But you’re much more than that too.
We are all living in the same world right now. That is simple too. Even though I am in this Italy place and you are probably somewhere else, we are still on this earth together.
I don’t wake up and look around and love it here because I’m in this Italy place. I love it because this part of the earth is special.
And because we want to help this land and the trees and the animals and even this forgotten house.
It wouldn’t matter where on the earth we were. Although the pizza is sure an added benefit.
But like I said, the simplest things escape us sometimes.
When me and Girl Person walk every night by the sea, there is trash. Trash on the ground. Sometimes it’s not even far away from a trash can. But since we have been so caught up in our own work, I think we have passed by the same fish wrapper for a week. And not picked it up. Because we thought someone else would. That someone should have been us.
Yes. I know this world is hard. There are bad things that happen every day. But bad things start with one bad thought. Good things start with the same. To be helpful. To be kind.
To do what we should do. Like picking up that trash.
There are many persons here each day that may not know we have picked it up. That doesn’t matter. We know.
And we are going to start taking a bag with us each day to pick up what we can. It’s our job. Even though we don’t get paid for it.
Picking it up. We all should look at this new year as a chance to do what’s right. No matter if others do or they don’t. Picking up can pick up our mood too. And our resolve to be better this year.
Now. Let’s work together to pick it up!

Thank you, Fruity. It’s just the simplest of things can make a big difference. Like you, if we all just pick up our own trash and maybe another piece, we can start to clean up a small area. We will feel better and just maybe someone else might be inspired by us. Just try to do what’s right.
