I began praying the Rosary on Monday night. It's something I haven't done often but seemed the right thing to do while I was away from home. It is a very meditative practice. I think I'll continue to do so, though perhaps not every day. With Lent coming up soon, that may be a good opportunity to begin some new habits.
A co-worker of Ellen's passed away yesterday after a battle with cancer. He was very young. He was lucky enough to see his new granddaughter, but that was it. Ellen and I are praying for his family as he was a good guy.
While coming back from dinner last night, my co-worker and I were approached by a woman giving us a big story about being in town for chemo and not having money or a car and not being able to afford cab fare to get home and could be spare a little money for some food or a bus ride and she's not a drug addict etc etc. I've heard this before. So I gave her a couple of dollars and my coworker gave her the leftovers from his meal. I didn't really beleive her story but it didn't really matter. Someone was in need and hopefully we provided them something. At a minimum she got some food and hopefully a few dollars to get a warm beverage. If her story was true, I hope she made it home ok or at least found someplace warm to stay.
