I wasn't smiling when I heard the tap on my front door this morning. My disabled neighbor standing there, needing to go to town.
True to form it wasn't long before he had me smiling and laughing. With all kinds of issues going on in his life. No water and a burned up hot water heater, he's not had water in a few months now, he still finds reasons to laugh, smile and make others do so to. You'd think with water issues, health issues, legal issues and no public assistance he'd be just a grumpy bitter ole man. He's not, he is always smiling and welcomes the opportunity to reach out to help others in any way he can.
He inspires me and makes me grateful for what I do have and for the opportunity to help others as I can as well.
So spending time with this ole guy and listening to his stories and his parables makes me smile.
