Good morning Pops and Friends.
Coach, like your story about the young lady bagging groceries, daddy had the same gift. His appendix ruptured and he was in a great deal of pain. I went to see him in the hospital. A hospital worker came into the room to mop. He greeted her. She was in a mood and just wanted to get the job over with and move to the next room. He said "this place would close without you". She blew him off with an "oh, yeah". He saw the words didn't take hold, so he dug deeper and said "Think about it. This hospital would be filled with germs making people sicker without you." A light went off, her eyes lit up, her posture improved and she said "You know, you're right." Daddy wasn't through building her up and by the time he was finished, she was a different person. She thanked him and left his room with a fire in her belly. The way she closed his door, I was pretty sure she was marching to her boss's office to demand a raise.
Bless you Streetwise, in the deep South our brains are already cooked. I hope your day turn around.
Wishing a good Wednesday for all of you and your loved ones.
