With so much hatred today.......my heart melted yesterday

Was in line at the post office and the postal clerk said the internet was down so no credit cards were accepted . There was an older lady at the window and a middle aged man filling out international forms but clearly had no cash. The lovely lady bought him an international stamp, walked over to him and handed it to him. He looked at her and then hugged her. It made up for so much pain and sadism that is happening. Just wanted to share this with you folks.

I'm usually ready with the phone pay or credit cards if someone comes up short. I'll hit the ATM tomorrow to have some folding money on hand.

The two baggies of change I keep in the car really don't help.

When people get distant politics that don't affect them ruin their lives.

There are cancer people suffering now, real things coming and going. It's going to be ok everyone please!!

... and they took a cancerous prostate with the bladder; along with a bout of brucelosis, four serious UTIs including Sepsis this last time in August which got me a kidney surgery in September.

I understand facing the consequences of other's actions: it is believed that the bladder cancer came from from second hand cigarette smoke.

Life is good and everything is getting good and going to get better.

You fight and you do not give in.

Isn't there a bumper sticker that says something along the lines of "Commit Random Acts Of Kindness"?
