I Was Sad Because I Had No Shoes

Today I'm going to the care center where I volunteer.  I've realized that you really have to give back in life.  Not just to the people that have helped along the way but to reach out and help people you don't even know.  I met an elderly lady at the center. What a lady! She would have turned 101 on her next birthday but unfortunately she fell and broke her hip and passed away shortly thereafter. She used a walker to get around but man, could she move on that thing.  We used to have dancing one day a week and I swear that woman wore me out. She loved to dance.  I was taking her back to her room after dancing one afternoon and she said "Thank you for being so nice to me" I laughed  because I didn't know what to say to her. Even the smallest kindness can make a difference in someones life.  So get out there people and give a little of yourself to someone.
