People amaze me!

I just want to tell people how awesome I think they are! I know, I know....every day the news is all about what's WRONG with people, and how the world is falling apart.  But there is a remnant!!! That core group of people who go out of their way to do or say something that just makes your day. For instance, today.....at work I have cans set up around the office for patients who may want to donate to my 3-day, 60 mile walk in September. I watched as a very frail little old man with a cane made his way to the check-out area. As SOON as he saw that can, a trembling hand searched for his wallet and he struggled to fold a bill and get it into the can. My heart melted! Dressed in a tattered coat, I knew that he gave from a good heart. I went up and hugged him and said, "I saw what you did, and I know you will be blessed ten-fold in return."  All he could manage to get out of his mouth was, "I had a friend that......." he choked up and couldn't finish his sentence, but he sure hugged me back. God bless him, please.   And may your good experiences always outweigh the bad.
