Feelin like a million bucks. Remember life is too short so these moments we can stop and smell the roses are sometimes few and far in between. Im greatful to be where I am in this moment and in this life you dont get many chances to be part of something bigger than you. The other day a woman that was in need of feeding her children needed a ride to the food bank because it was freezing cold. So of course I gave her one but when we got to the food bank it was closed its only open two days a week. So she said to take her home that shed be okay she just had to wait all day til her aunt was off work and she could borrow money again. I could see on her face though that this option was used quite often. So without even thinking I just drove her to the nearest walmart and bought her 50 bucks worth of groceries and if I wouldve had more than a hundred I wouldve got more. She was ecstatic though and couldnt stop thanking me. If I didnt have to pay for certain things I needed I wouldve gave it all really. When I unloaded her groceries and saw her three little girls; I was driving off and all I could think of was my mom. She was a single mom that was taking care of two young boys and we were so broke we didnt have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of. All I could see was the times I would share meals with my mom because, she couldnt afford for herself to eat but, would refuse to let her children go hungry. It hit me like an epiphany!!! Its always good to pay it forward but when it hits the heart it makes you remember why its so important. Why love should be the song we sing, the air we breathe, and the solution we strive for. I never like to brag about things like this ever but just thought it was funny how life had come full circle for this oppurtunity. Mainly because I could remember we wouldve given anything we had just so we could all have a meal. And yes I cried like a freakin baby on the way to work because it hit home pretty hard but at least her and her babies had things to eat until she could get her food stamps. We always take the small things for granite when the truth is if we went without them we would totaly have a crisis. So remember where you came from always. No matter what status level of success I reach ill never forget that I was just a poor white boy from Houston, TX that honestly never felt poor at all. And for that Im forever greatful.
