Day 24 of Penny

You know, I'm pretty luck to live where I do. Even though people get bored and gossip, for the most part they take care of each other. Most acts of kindness aren't really all that random. I have one neighbor who helps everybody else get the snow out of theirs first before he finishes his. When someone here has a major medical problem the whole community pitches in to make sure they have enough money to cover it. Recently we had two different men have terrible medical struggles and the community got together and donated goods and services for an auction and dinner fund raiser for them. Over $40,000 was raised in one evening. This, from a community of around 5000 people total. You can't drive anywhere without someone smiling and waving at you, and you can't help but smile and wave back. I guess it's that whole thing about cold hand and warm hearts.
