Evening 5/18/12

Wonderful acts of kindness.  Asking a friend to stay for dinner, Listening to a friend, Riding 50 miles for a good cause.... Any of these are humbling.  Some more painful than others but to each possibly the same good feelings emerge.  Doing something for others, volunteer, public service, or our brave men and women who fight every day to provide us with the freedoms some choose to destroy.... these are all great ways to do something good.  Every time I see a person in a military uniform, I thank them for providing me with freedom.  When I see a volunteer, I thank them for giving of their precious time and assisting someone in need.  So tonight I want to thank all of those who are doing walk-a-thons, bike rides, or any other charitable event to help others.  There are many people who are affected daily by disease or other events that these events either try to bring awareness or funds to... THANK YOU.. and may you feel the gratitude (may help you make it all those miles) of all those who you do it for....  I am grateful for my friends and grateful I was kept busy today.... It kept my mind from thinking and allowed me to take care of myself... little things like that I have taken for granted...  What are you thankful for tonight?
