EVEN A HOMELESS PERSON CAN BEROBIN4SOMEONE ~ Today I received a phone call from a 90 year woman, named Amy, who asked me “Can you help bring me my newspaper? My son is in Reno for a few days.” “Of course!” I said. When I delivered it, she asked “Can you take me to the pharmacy and to the post office?” “Of course!” I said.

This sweet lady is very frail and requires a walker. It took her 5 minutes to find money in her purse at the cash register. The pharmacist had the most interesting name tag. “Robin” (I smiled inside.)

When we got back to the car, we were having trouble getting her walking in the backseat. A man passing by noticed and asked “Can I help you?” “Thank you for asking.” I said. (Someone else practicing human kindness.)

I decided at that moment that I would give her my walker. I have NOT needed it for two years. I hope I never need it again. That was terrifying and extremely painful for months…. (I’m willing to bet far worse than childbirth.)

Since she doesn’t get out much I decided to take her on a joyride. I took her to see sculptures made by a very talented artist. There is a street here where nearly every house has a whimsical sculpture out front that is reflective of the personality of each home owner.

When we returned, I found a neighbor had stopped by and Amy wasn’t answering the door. Concerned her well-being, the neighbor called Amy’s family.

When I returned from our adventure together there were 3 people in the driveway looking panic stricken. They were relieved to know Amy was with me. (They were also practicing human kindness and the community vibe was very tangible.)

That’s my story for today and who knows what tomorrow will bring… more kindness I hope.
