Sharing Thanks

Baskets of apple's at Jo Jo Apple's in Point Lookout I am here to report that their is kindness in the big city of Chicago! I have so many reasons to be thankful today. It is easy to write this blog post because my gratitude is over flowing today. Thank you to Gene!!! Gene found my daughter's wallet in a cab. He contacted my daughter's podiatrist in Chicago since it had a local phone number to report finding her wallet. The podiatrist called me to give me his contact info. Gene took the time to bring the wallet to my daughter at her apartment at Columbia College. He wanted to make sure Liz got the wallet because there was over $100 in the wallet along with her bank card. This random act of kindness will never be forgotten. I am grateful for all of the rebuilding that has been done at Long Beach. I went for a stroll on the new boardwalk yesterday. It was wonderful to see the people out enjoying the sunshine, a sparkling calm ocean, and this new beautiful wide boar

Donated $1 to JDRF today at Jake's Wayback Burgers I love when I can perform an act of kindness, by donating to a worthy cause. We have a few good family friends who have Juvenile Diabetes. It's a tough disease and I admire the two young women I  know who live with it courageously and gracefully. It always feels good to perform acts of kindness! I was thankful today for Jake's Wayback Burger's in East Meadow who participated in this JDRF fundraiser and made it easy for my to donate!
