Inspirational Saturday

Hello To All! Today Is A Laid Back Day, But I Did Have A Rather Joyful Experience About An Hour Ago. (its 3:10pm currently) I Heard A Knock On The Door So I Went To The Door, And It Was A Young Lady With The Omaha World-Herald. So I Opened The Door And Saw That She Was Disabled, I Believe She Had Cerebral Palsy, Or Something Similar To That Disorder. She Was Selling Subscriptions To The Newspaper In An Attempt To Win A Savings Bond For College. I Invited Her In Because It Is Freezing Out And I Wanted To Give Her A Chance To Sit Down And Rest, We Talked A Little Bit About Random Things, Introduced Her To Our Dogs And Then Discussed With My Wife What We Could Afford To Spend To Get The Most Out Of It And At The Same Time Give This Nice Young Lady The Most Points We Could Afford To Give. We Ended Up Spending $36.00 For I Believe 3 Months Of The Paper, Which Earned Her 100 Points T'words Her Goal. I Did Not Catch Her Name, But She Told Me She Eventually Wanted To Graduate With A Law Degree And Become A Lawyer.

I Wish This Young Lady The Absolute Best In Her Endeavors, Someone Who Faces Obstacles Every Day Of Her Life, Yet Can Work In An Environment Where She Has To Do A Lot Of Walking In The Elements For The Chance To Go To College. She Mentioned That At One Point There Where 7 People Doing The Paper Thing But Now There Is Only Like 4 Or So Because The Others Quit. It Says A Lot About Her That She Still Does Something Difficult For Her When Others Quit.

Just By What We Talked About, And How She Acted When I Kept Asking If She Was Ok, She Seems Like A Very Optimistic Person. She Had A Smile On Her Face The Entire Time, She Was Polite And Very Kind. It Gives Me Great Inspiration To See Someone In Her Position Being Determined To Live Life To The Fullest And Not Sit On The Sidelines.

Well, I Just Wanted To Share That With Yall, The Wife And I Are Going To Sonic So I've Got To Sign Off. Until Next Time, Stay Optimistic My Friends!

Be Safe, Take Care, And Have A Great Day! -Gabriel
