Aloha,<\/p>\n

This is one of my last few days in Lithuania. As much as I love this country, I am looking forward to going home. I ride my bike along the water’s edge each day and see so many ordinary angels. I watch the parents walking with their young children, teaching them about life. I watched a young mother teach her young boy about kindness and gentleness while they fed the birds.<\/p>\n

If you have anyone you would like to see mentioned as an ordinary angel on the third Friday of the month, please let me know. You can just send me an e-mail to sgregg@aloha.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n


\nI have a Google alert set for angels. Most days I just get lots of news stories about the Angels baseball team<\/a>. Occasionally I get stories about angels in action. This month I would like to honor all the firefighters that risk their lives every day, rescuing people and putting out fire, but I would especially like to honor Ted Hall and Arnie Quinones<\/a> who died fighting a wildfire in LA county.<\/p>\n

On a more cheerful note, angels from all over the country, including an unnamed inmate, have donated time and money to build a new home for 87-year-old Ester Davis who lives in rural Scott County, Mississippi<\/a>. Her home was falling down and possums would wander in and steal food off of her kitchen table. You can read the whole story here<\/a>. Her story about quitting smoking is wonderful!<\/p>\n

Each of us can be an angel for somebody. Have a great day, and why not commit a random act of kindness today?<\/p>\n

With love and aloha,
Susan<\/p>\n

Remembering the angels on your shoulders keep you happy!<\/p>\n
