I didn't know where to start so I'm starting from the end, which is usually how I do things anyway. ;-)<BR/><BR/>It's nice that you acknowledged Craig's citizenship. I had wanted to put something up on the site (link away, by the way) but, well, it's been a week. . . It's not too late so I still may do that if I get a chance.<BR/><BR/>At any rate, I'm glad the kindness campaign is going well. This world could surely use more of it. And you and others have remarked, it doesn't have to be a big deal. Little things can make such a huge difference. <BR/><BR/>I love your neighbor's philosophy of "you gotta live your life, even when it sucks" LOL! That's great. And really, what choice do we have? The alternative isn't very attractive so. . .there you have it!<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to your next installment regarding the water issues. Let's see, shall I suggest a title? "Drowning for Dollars" perhaps? Or "Drowning from Lack of Dollars"? LOL!<BR/><BR/>You are a true gem, you know that?

They've got a tough job, and lots of hurried people are short with them. When I take a second to recognize them as a human being, I never fail to see a positive difference in their whole demeanor. Or when you see that errant shopping cart aching to ram into someone's car, and taking it to the coral. <BR/><BR/>It doesn't have to be a chore or difficult.
