(Look closely, the scrape on the right elbow is probably from landing after an out-of-balance experience.)

The other day I was walking down by the beach and saw this poor homeless soul sleeping on a bench. We had a touch of cool weather here and this sad castaway of society was shivering and lonely. I thought that as a random act of kindness it would be the least I could do to offer a home cooked meal, a bed and a comforting arm and a hug.

I'm forwarding this on to everyone I know, in an effort to bring light and hope to the homeless people in our communities. I hope that others will see this and also feel compelled to give those less fortunate, a helping hand. Or two hands in this case.
