They saw the light in me and in turn I saw theirs. People offered to let me sleep on their couches, rent their condos, go out to dinner with them, set me up with women … note: I was single then … it was like out of a dream. The dream wasn’t so much about what they offered me though, it was about the light they shined into my heart.

I think we all need to be reminded to focus on the good sometimes. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with the state of the world and need a few minutes to "come back".

I definitely try to pay if forward whenever I can. <em>sabrina's last blog post..<a href='http://insanerandomramblings.com/2008/04/07/we-finally-have-a-ihop-in-pittsburgh/' rel="nofollow">We finally have a IHOP in Pittsburgh</a></em> I never get tired of the niceness of strangers posts.
