Remember when you were a kid and you would walk by soda machines or gum ball machines and wiggle the coin release and pray that something would come out? Or the times you would search pay phones for left behind quarters? When do we stop the wiggling. I know I used to be all over those growing up. Today I think if something came out I would be like, yay, free quarter. I saw an older lady wiggling the LA Times newspaper machine earlier today and I was sad. She was treking by foot and I thought to myself, hmmmmm... free quarter to me, maybe bus fare to her.
This time of year really makes you think of all the people out there that could use an extra helping hand. I know it is so clique, but true none the less. I bought a candy cane for a dollar on Friday night from a girl needing some extra money for her and her family. Who knows what she will do with the dollar. You think something like that would make you feel somewhat good inside, but it just made me sadder.
Heidi talked a little bit about two of our members' parent. Feel blessed.
I've just been MIA lately on the blog... thanks for sticking around.
