People Do Good

{Today I thought of 3 of the best things other people have done for me. I'll think of 3 more tomorrow, and 3 more the next day, and 3 more all the days ever.}

1.My 21st summer, my friend's friend made me a mixed CD of Patty Griffin songs. She didn't make it for me because she wanted to introduce me to some good music. She said, "Oh, that's rough. She needs Patty Griffin." She knew I had a broken heart. Patty Griffin's music, and that particular mixed collection, has been one of the most cathartic experiences of my life.

2. A kind old principal gave me a job I wasn't certified for. He felt I was qualified. I'm forever grateful to him for placing me in my element.

3. Some people affect you in a way that changes your life, or the way you live your life. One of my dearest friends challenged me to love people with my heart, to see and hope for the best in people, and to love people not because I want to be loved, but because I can love.
