THE POINSETTIA

Yesterday afternoon, out of the blue, a complete stranger by the name of Carolyn gave me a poinsettia. She walked up to me and said "Has anyone given you a poinsettia this year?", and I replied "No". Then she said "Well I want to buy one for you". How sweet! She was a lovely lady who obviously has a heart of gold. To pass along the cheer, I bought two poinsettias myself and let the kids deliver them to two of our neighbors, one of which has had a grueling year watching her 5 year old son battle leukemia. It felt great to pay it forward and was a great example of giving for my children.

Thank you, Carolyn, wherever you are.
