First of all, a big THANK YOU to all the folks who made the radio station's "Christmas in Jail" toy drive such a howling success! Same goes for all of you who made donations to our Hunger-Free Holiday food drive. It renews my faith in the human spirit to see such outpourings of generosity, especially in these hard economic times when so many of our friends and neighbors are suffering.
That is why I choose to concentrate on the positive this holiday season. I've heard the greatest stories about people--everyday people-- "paying it forward." Buying the lunch for the person behind you in the drive-thru. Giving $20 to a complete stranger in the WalMart so they can buy a present for their kid. Filling up someone's car with gas, and so on.
But let's not limit ourselves to doing good just at the holidays. Let's keep it going.
Peace.
