on my drive in yesterday I watched a man walk across the street with bare hands… it was extremely cold and reminded me of the many who do not have the basics for this weather, sigh…

as I was leaving the office a man stopped and gave me a faux rose… he said

give this to someone and tell them you care, while you can…

then he gave me a second one, which he said was for me… at that point he asked if I had change for a cup of coffee… I advised I didn’t have any money on me so he took back one of the roses and merrily went in his way…

both reminders of how truly blessed I am… warm clothes to wear, a safe home to live in, a vehicle to get me around and work that makes me happy…
