More than a year has gone by since I have completed any more interactions with homeless. I decided to go out today again with a bag lunch and meet some one. Hoping to make some ones day and provide a need that most of us have on a daily basis with out much though. I like to learn from others, and find it interesting to talk with a variety of people.
  I started and was finding myself immediately taken away by my own needs. I have a foot injury that is making walking painful, and the effects of a whole pot of coffee. I was glad to find some one with out walking too far.
  I approached a man who was clearly a man who would be glad for some food, and some one to want to talk to him. The man was in his late 50's, and hard to follow along due to a heavy accent. He stated he was from Bosnia, and made several references to a refugee program in regards to how he arrived in America. He seemed a bit out of touch with reality, and didn't complete sentences.
  Each person in life has a value, most of us don't value any thing that does not directly benefit us. We invest time, energy, emotion, and money into the things we value. We are also responsible to maintain the things we care about.
  Practice putting ourselves aside and invest in some one we have no prior connection with. Bring happiness to some ones life, and thankful you are in a position to help some one. It is an opportunity, and every one involved benefits.
