Thank you!

To whomever gifted me the heart today, thank you so much! I made my very first trip ever to a food bank today, and was feeling kinda down afterwards. I logged on to DU once I got back home, and seeing the gift of your heart left my heart (and mine) a little lighter. We can't always know the impact of our actions on another, but I wanted you to know how you impacted mine.

I learned the young neighbor of my daughter had fallen on really hard times and had run completely out of cat food. So I split the bag of cat food I had with her, which ought to last her at least two weeks, and passed on one of my babies' laser pointers so they could play with the cat "in style." Thanks to you, you gave two women a brief respite from worry and even, dare I say, a bit of "shame." You lifted my heart, and I paid it forward, in the only way as best I could.

What started out a very humbling day, has taught me a really humbling lesson... thank the Lady for a home like this where we can come just like we are... warts and all... and still be loved. (LOL)
