A Special Second Cause

While yesterday's Operation: Spread Hope was a disappointment, ( Thank you The One and Mother for being the only two to repost.) today's endeavor was not.

I was asked to be an announcer for the Special Olympics that were being held here. I spent all day in front of a microphone calling out the winners of all the events. It was truly a blessing to see the kids smile when their names were called. Some were sheepish, others were rock stars, all were champions.

What I think I love most about the Special Olympics is seeing how kind hearted people can be, even more so for the participants themselves. They seem truly happy and care for others around them. You meet some amazing people there who might have a disability, but it isn't a lack of heart. I think a lot of people could learn to be better people by being around these generous and thoughtful people.

Until tomorrow, may you not have been the fool.
