Good morning fellow blogsters, unless of course you are reading this another time of day, all three or four of you. After a week long stint of sunny and beautiful weather we are back to the usual wet coast damp chilly rain. Which brings me to my topic of the day, homelessness. Last night driving to pick my son up from work. I seen a man all huddled and sleeping in a ball up against a brick building downtown. From a distance at first I thought it was a black garbage bag. This saddened me to no end, it put a lump in my throat and an ache in my heart. For this is exactly how we treat the homeless in this society like garbage. I wish I had a blanket in my van as I would have went and covered him up. There was a time I would laugh at the unfortunate and at times be angry with them. Why didn't they get a job? Why didn't they get a life? Now I know there are many out there that don't have the mental capacity to help themselves. Today I sit here wondering if I could have done more for that poor unfortunate soul. Perhaps called someone to pick him up. Maybe I could have spent a bit more time investigating perhaps if he was hurt and needed medical attention. I know there is no answer I just wish people would have a bit more compassion these day for those less fortunate then us.
