Good morning! Many of you who followed the adventures of Gary, Bob and I as we rode the Southern Tier have implored me to keeping posting on 82rpm, and yesterday I witnessed something that has stuck with me all through the night and into this new day. So here I sit in my favorite chair with my second cup of coffee riding shotgun, mildly intrigued by what may appear on the page as I pound out my inept two-fingered dance upon my trusty laptop.
We are lucky to have you sharing your experiences and perspectives. I have had a “there but for the grace of God go I” mentality. Yes, I’ve worked hard and have been blessed and lucky to be where I am today. I also know many people who have either been homeless or one paycheck away from being homeless. What can I do personally? It’s a tough question that I don’t know the answer to. Should I feel guilty? No. Should I feel compassion? Absolutely.
Wow, that was awesome. I have a homeless female Army veteran working at the garden now. she has issues with being bi-polar and lives in a tent with her dog in someone's back yard. She is trying to find a place that will allow her to keep her dog. She is also going to college . How do I help and does she want help? I am taking it slow but I have to wonder if the city is talking to the homeless or just making decisions for them. This is so hard.
