December 2

Let me start by saying this day's random act of kindness might be to pour myself a glass of Chardonnay before noon. Not the best morning.

I got a phone call from work before 7 a.m.

Jake HATED today's Advent surprise.

I'm still in my pajamas.

I didn't even get Abby to day care.

But I managed a spontaneous and somewhat desperate act ... After using my Starbucks gift card, I handed it and its $10 balance to someone standing at a crosswalk.

He may not like Starbucks but maybe he'll have an interesting story to tell.
