Thank you-- it was a delight. I've experienced this myself recently, being technically unemployed while working the crazy hours at the kiosk during December for The Hundred Dollar Business, and now having transitioned to my new job in Idaho. No one wants to not be able to provide for themselves or deal with the stress & misc. of finding a new job and re-establishing yourself economically, and to have extra support from family, friends, and community is such a treasure. Those kind words and acts really do go a long way. Jason,

You are taking a stand for compassion. Giving to someone who needs it without judging them is good for your soul. I remember asking my son give a father of two $20 and how it made *my* day. He just seemed so ashamed to accept it. I told him I do it gladly because I've seen tough times myself. It's a good cure for feeling sorry for yourself (if anyone's ever done that). It is moving how generous people have been with you and your family. I recognize that where I'm at is a lot because of the generosity of others, including bloggers. Janet Jason,
