I guess if I were hungry enough, I wouldn't refuse to eat one. Stocking up!

It's something I could definitely do if I only have one of the kids with me. <BR/><BR/>I like the idea that one shouldn't say no without a good reason. I've always felt that way. Someone said to me about street beggars, "Who are you to judge whether they need it? Who are you to judge whether it's going to go to liquor, their one source of solace, or to food?" That really resonated with me.Lunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06068882913386501048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067817219216094782.post-34722026262407905192009-03-24T18:25:00.000-07:002009-03-24T18:25:00.000-07:00My father was a wonderful man who emerged from the...My father was a wonderful man who emerged from the war horribly wounded but persevered to have a long and healthy and productive life. With but a high school education he achieved considerable success in industry. At times I worked in his plant. Dad would always hire a needy veteran he thought could use the work. A lot of them were trying to get their lives together. Some had substance problems, others had brushes with the law. Somehow he knew those he could help out. Almost none of them ever let him down.<BR/><BR/>When I opened my first law office my Dad gave me a bit of advice. He told me that in most cases it really doesn't cost you much, if anything, to help someone out. I learned from him not to say no without a very good reason for it. Over the years I was able to help out a fair number of people and the truth is it made me feel as good, maybe even better, than it made them feel.<BR/><BR/>I still like to help the old folks load their groceries in their cars. Just little things like that. Sort of like a drive-by good deed. A little help and on your way. You can see how it lifts their spirits. There's not many things you can buy that will give you that sort of reward.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.com
