78. You made my day today.

There is a ripple effect of someone putting out good energy.

My household survived our hard times in winter of 2006 because a woman I had worked with for all of three weeks, she lent us over 2,000 dollars. She was paid back by our changing fortunes five weeks later - but still and all: the absolute kindness of her emptying her savings to help us still astounds me.

You won't be forgotten.
