Reply #29: I've always been one step away

[EC]

from being poor...but friends have told me that I make being poor look easy...Huh...lucky I don't want anything, so can usually get what I need, but yeah, have been in situations where just getting through the day was a real chore, for lack of transportation, child care, or a whole myriad of things...especially during my college days, being single with a toddler, so yeah, I help anyone I can...although I do it quietly, like sneaking a twenty or even just a ten into their jacket pocket, or giving them a pair of gloves, one friend of mine gets a food box and blankets every Christmas, and helped her through college...now she's a highly paid nurse - making it just fine...swells my heart to see her face just beaming at what she accomplished, when the rest of her friends from "the hood" are in jail or on welfare...I don't know, the worlds screwy, I had a guy tell me the other day, what a nice thing I did, when I helped a old man up off the sidewalk when I saw him fall, and it made me wonder why anyone had to even comment about something as simple as that, it should be common behavior not something to be congratulated for????
