Pay It Forward
Last night a friend told me that his sister's husband was pulled over and busted with pot. In his military uniform. 3 months away from retirement. A month after being diagnosed with hepetitis-c. He couldn't figure out why his 43 year-old brother-in- law had pot while in uniform. He was worried about what was going to happen to his sister now that they wouldn't have guaranteed income. While my friend was visiting me his cell phone rang off the hook until he finally gave in and took the call. It was his sister with unbelievably good news. Seems her husband has lost a tremendous amount of weight since his diagnosis, and just wanted a way to find his appetite. He shared this with the cop, and the cop let him know that his own wife was just diagnosed with a terminal illness. He threw the bulk of the pot out, measured a little in a baggie, and the announced that the remainder 'wasn't even pot'. Human compassion is still out there.

My favorite thing today: The love and support of friends.
