"Do not take anything for granted — not one smile or one person or one rainbow or one breath, or one night in your cozy bed."
~ Terri Guillemets
I received this from a BEST LIFE EVER reader:
"Good morning,
Keep the 87 problems!!! We don't have time for them!
Yesterday I was coming froman AA meeting I left early. I was mentally shot and could not get into it. I just wanted to take a nap before work. . . Sleeping has been a challenge lately with all that's going on in my life.
I went to the gym then the meeting. I was walking into a bank and a guy approached me and asked if I could give him a quarter. I asked if he needed it for a drink, the bank is next to a a liquor store. He said," yes". I asked him if he was hungry and he replied that he was. I told him that I could not give him a quarter however I could buy him breakfast. His sad face lit up. I walked with him a couple of blocks to a bakery. I bought him a couple of pastries and coffee. I then asked him if he wanted to go to detox he said no. He told me he needs to sober up. I agreed. He said the only time he has been sober is when he has been in jail. I wished him luck and went on my way.
It was the best $5.75 I have ever spent. It made me real grateful for my life today. I am going to hit the weights again then try to do some yoga.
In case i forgot to tell you, I am so thankful for you and your inspiration!"
