Dear Anonymous,
Cold out there this morning and Mike was so happy with the handknit hat from a Dear Anonymous in Massachusetts. And the coats and hoodies and heavy shirts all flew out of the car. Backpacks always appreciated. If it's not because they are stolen it's because they break down easily with street use. Socks were sought after, thick, warm, thermal socks and that hot cup of coffee made all the difference to many. Hands wrapped around big steaming cups like a prayer.
Like a mudra.
And Mike beamed when he took a big bag of toys headed up to the family shelter. I'm pretty sure he gets the most out of the equation and he was excited once again like it was Christmas morning. He takes a couple of backpacks filled with kids mittens, hats and another with women's clothing. Thanks Dear Anonymous.
There were many thank you's this morning. And on a tough day when it's cold as hell and you're struggling to be warm and find a place to land for a moment before you are shooed on, the time and attention to offer that thank you is noted.I want to make sure all you who contribute recieve those thank you's.
One cup of coffee at a time.One pair of socks. The currency of connection.
