Particularly the little boy who dresses up to help cats, and the gentleman with glowing smile that ame from merely seeing his wife's name on the phone screen.

....smile, be glad we're here, go out and help someone, or just simply enjoy the day.

That's what my parents did and that's what we taught us to do.

living in a horrible dystopia. Creating fear works for him. But that is not what I see in my daily life. I see good people every day trying to make the world a better place. Don't buy into the lie!

What if she only got to keep $40 and had to share $160 with the other four servers?

I know it helped me to feel a lot better. It's so funny to observe the physical changes in your body when you are reading or looking at something that makes you angry and then at something that makes you happy or touches your heart. I can't imagine the toll that this political stress and nightmare of Trump is taking on our bodies.

I also liked the guy smiling at his wife's photo.

One of my colleagues at work was showing a picture of his wife to us. They've been married FOREVER, but he was beaming and then kissed the picture before putting his phone away. It was adorable beyond words!!!
