Not hungry like, "hmm, it's time for supper", but hungry like "Good grief, this really sucks".
I was having kind of a bad day today, worryin' about various things, all crabby that life doesn't always go my way.
Heard some kids laughin' outside, looked out the window and saw three boys on bikes coming down the road. The littlest one pointed at my place and hollered, "That's the teddy bear house!!" I guess that's cause there's a little statue of a black bear on my railing, that holds a solar-powered sign with the address on it. OK, whatever.
They came and hung a bag on my mailbox, with the Boy Scouts logo printed on it, for a food drive. "Please put some non-perishable food items in this bag and leave it out, we'll come pick it up later", you know. In these troubled times there are honest folks who can't quite feed themselves and their kids like they need to.
I'm pretty broke myself, but have enough groceries stocked up to keep me and my kid goin' for a good long while. I've been truly hungry before and didn't like it much.
Well, I filled that bag till it's about to burst, and I tell you what, I feel a whole lot better about myself and the world in general.
PLEASE give to your local food pantry if you possibly can! You'll never regret it.
