I'M SURE SOME OF YOU ARE LEARNING THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW ABOUT ME THROUGH MY BLOG. MAKE A BLOG, I WANT TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW ABOUT ALL OF YOU.

Some people might think that I spend too much time talking about the less fortunate. Ashley talks about her rabbits and birds because they are her passion. Christine talks about becoming a veterinarian because she loves animals. We all have something that we are passionate about, and that's a good thing. The other day I was going to an apppointment. At almost every freeway exit there is a homeless person holding a cardboard sign. Occasionally I will hand someone a few bucks out my car window. I know there is no way of knowing what they will spend the money on; beer, drugs, food? A young man was standing at the corner of the freeway entrance and his sign said, "need food." When I was done with my appointment I went to the grocery store because I had decided that giving food was much better than giving money. I parked across the street and carried the groceries over to him. He said thank you, and he gave me a hug. I told him that he was so welcome. A happy tear ran down my cheek. It doesn't take much for me to get emotional about something. Whenever I see someone handing a few bucks to someone less fortunate, I give them a thumbs up. Giving is really the best feeling, especially when the recipients are so grateful. I want my girls to have a giving heart. Hey, if I had Bill Gate's bank account I could make a huge difference. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation gave five hundred million dollars to fight aids and malaria around the world. He and his wife travel to third world countries and meet the people they are helping. They definitely know what it's all about. Talking about what Chirstine wants to do when she grows up reminds me of what I wanted to be when I was a young girl. I'm not sure why, but I wanted to become an astronaut. Maybe it had something to do with speed and the unknown. I do remember telling my mom that I wanted to go as far as I could into space in a lifetime. The universe never ends and that's mind boggling to me. Ok, I'm almost done. Back to the cardboard signs. One day I saw a man holding a sign that said, "I won't lie I just want a beer." I wonder how many people gave him money that day? Maybe he hit the jackpot because he was being honest. Have a good day!
