Running.

My kids aren't the only great runners in the family.

So am I.

I am great at running into trouble.

I am amazing at running away from problems.

I am highly skilled at running away from responsibilities while planted firmed on my couch.

I am next level at flat out ignoring problems that need to be resolved and are staring straight at me.

That said, I am also becoming more soft with myself in the understanding that achieving one thing a day is still that, an achievement and not abandonment.

So today I did not run, but rather I was doing; aka walking.

Maybe the things I achieved today were stupid and small, but they happened.

I existed, and people saw me, with the exclusion of the blind man I donated to, sitting outside of my Aldi.

Hey I didn't Door Dash.

Anyways...

Yes my comedic timing sucks, but if I am doing the Lord's work I feel entitled to a joke or two.

And NO I am not joking about his blindness, hell I was so blind my money didn't make it into his cup and I can see, or perhaps I can't because I am also apparently so blind I didn't read his well written sign indicating he could not see.

Now that I think about it, he had great hand writing for a blind guy.

You can't win for losing my grandmother always said.

Anyways, haters will hate but I will continue to be the mess that is me with a pure heart and open mind.

I still remain convinced that there is light at the end of the tunnel, even if it seems dark at times, in my case it is because clearly I need a new glasses prescription.

So keep the faith.

In the interim I think my next voyage will be to the eye doctor to see about stronger glasses.

But dont we all need a better view every now and again?

All I know is I don't need stronger faith in the kindness of human beings, because I am proof.

Be the good.

P.S. I now realize he said he was blind with a huge poster board with a nice black marker signage saying he was blind....

I have come to "see" that I can barely find a pen or pencil in my house.

The irony and puns intended.

Bro must have a really good friend to have made that for him, I am recruiting said friend as we speak.

Meanwhile next time you see a couple outside Aldi just throw a quarter at us.

My sign will read, "A sucker is born every minute, I am proof."

Sidenote it will be in braille.

Life can be tragic, sad, funny, awesome, and crazy at the same time.

Just buckle up, but try to be kind in the process.

I always try to help when I can, so please save any judgement for my stupid commentary.

I am mocking myself more than anything, and I did help, whatever the truth was or result may be.

Again, just trying to do my best.

Which usually falls short.

But it never means I won't stop trying.

Neither should you.

XoXo,

C.
