Someone else's happiness

It is a strange feeling to know that you have some knowledge about a total stranger which would most certainly cause them a great deal of anguish.
Well, not only anguish, but probably far worse... That is my situation and I wouldn't act upon this, but it goes to show how one quite small action from someone - me in this case - could ruin another's happiness. Many have written on this subject and far more eloquently than I am able; in novels and non-fictional accounts, some of which I have of course read. I believe that I am a moral and a compassionate person in the normal course of events and would not want to harm someone, even ruin their life, but this would presumably not be the attitude of, say, a journalist of the mud-raking ilk who thrive on exposing others' foibles thus frequently ruining families. marriages, careers etc etc. Or a 'wronged woman' who in her rage turns on her partner or the third party, wreaking emotional and even material havoc.
Well, enough of those gloomy and worrying thoughts:- Today has been glorious and a usual full Tuesday for me. First a morning's work followed by a gym session and then to my dance teaching in the later afternoon. What part of the evening left to me was frittered away I know not exactly how! My partner is away for a few days and I shall take advantage of his absence and work in the garden later in the week, weather permitting. Lettuces and salvias will be planted otherwise it would not be good, in view of our departure to New York next week! And on that note, I have started to look at things I'd like to do whilst there and of course have a million activities to fit into basically 6.5 days !! Ah yes and a couple more things which should have been done ages ago can now be ticked off the 'done' list! Yes I have started to shift my arse big-time (in-elegantly put I know) and it gets easier as it goes along I must say.... Long may it continue. Vive anti-procrastination!! Okay, getting too sleepy - my bed calls. Goodnight ,J xx
