Try a little kindness
This is just too rich not to share
Something really bizarre and wonderful just happened to me.
There was a loud knock upon my door. I figured it was Timothy wanting to beg a beer.
I got up and looked out the peep hole. Wasn’t Tim. It was a lady riding one of those golf-carts for invalids.
I opened the door. Hanging from my door knob was a Walmart bag. Lady glanced at it, said, “I deliver food here; it is bread and ham.”
I was so shocked that I blurted out, “God Bless You.” (Me, the Atheist) But it seemed apropos for the situation.
There are still good people in this world.
I hope I am one of them
(I feel blessed, though I probably do not deserve it)
Try a little kindness; it does a body good.

I ask for nothing from no one, because I am an asshole. I do not put up with bullshit in my life.
Ever
But when someone is unsolicited nice to me, it moves me and touches my heart. And I am grateful and honoured to be sharing their air.
Never forget: We are all in this Game Together
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
We are Humanity
That is Our Fatal Flaw
And also our Blessing

P.S. I feasted on ham sandwiches for three days…
Thank you John for your thoughtful comment.
When I was young. Poor mother had a low paying job. Once a week, a friend of my sister aunt would bring a bag of food over on Friday. I never forgot. When I returned from the Army in 1977. I wanted to repay her. She wouldn’t accept anything from me. She told me. Give away what you can and I am proud of her. She taught me. There are kind and good people in our world. Hello my friend. I liked your story. Make me remember the kind woman.
