Today is the day. Mine has just ended. I really didn't know what I would do today, so I decided to sit still and listen to my inner voice.
I recently had a friend who has had a terrible misfortune. The story starts eleven horrible days ago. My friend has lost everything, ending up at the Salvation Army, starting his life all over again.
We have become Internet friends, through a mutual admiration of each other's blog: e-mailing and visiting each other's postings. My friend had been very productive, on sabbatical up until eleven days ago when he decided it was time to get back to the real world. But the world as he knows it became surreal.
I received a message saying that he had no money...it had been stolen and squandered away while he was gone; having entrusted his money management to a relative. He had nowhere to go, and no money to get there. He was arrested for vagrancy and jailed.
Through a leap of faith and against the advice of everyone I know, I decided to lend a hand. I've managed to help him get through this.
I now have a friend for life. I may never have put myself on the line without the impetus offered by Blog Catalog to perform this kindness.
All if well; the world isn't so ugly, and not everyone you meet on the Internet is a creep.
