A stranger bought me lunch today

It got pretty scandalous, with plenty of stories in the news, about how many people in the military were on food stamps. A trip out to a sit-down restaurant is definitely a big deal when you're on food stamps.

Nice post by the way. This is the kind of charity I like - truly anonymous. And it's a kind of pay it forward deal that is also at the heart of truly being giving. You do it without expect of recompense, and the only way to pay it back is for you to do something nice for someone else entirely. And not just someone you were going to do something nice for anyway; no cheesing out. Some burdens are actually cool to carry. They wake your spirit up, if nothing else. Good for the soul.
