Some days beat you down, some days restore your faith.

More joy day was the brain child of [livejournal.com profile] sdwolfpup who had the idea that once (or twice) a year people should try to give joy to the people in their lives. This is a brilliant idea that I support with a whole heart - I've have some fannish goodies (goody, actually) lately but for now let me tell you about the two people I saw this morning dropping off food and hot coffee to the two homeless guys camped out on the exhaust grates on either end of Bay and Queen streets this moring. I don't know if they were part of an organized charity or just two Samaritans who wanted to make sure that these guys were okay. But it made me feel better as I rushed from streetcar to coffee shop (dropping a toonie in one guy's cup as I passed) to bus to office to see that there were people who cared, who could take the time to check on the least fortunate of our city. And it reminded me that we can always do more, be better, be more compassionate.

Happy More Joy Day to you all.
