Sometimes you find that little drop of gold in the strangest of places... My faith was restored today as I got to know some of the senior guys on course with me...they were nice guys, bright, committed, responsible...they had senses of humour, were friendly, and genuinely cared about us. And us means, well US. People, this country, doing the right thing...Being a good man...Made me want to be...well, just be better I guess. And a guy I thought was loud-mouthed and obnoxious did something really kind...he's still loud-mouthed and obnoxious...but a nice obnoxious loud-mouth I guess... And a quiet drink lifted my spirit and the corners of my mouth and my droopy eyelids and lots of other stuff...that's worth it's weight in gold... so... a little drop of gold... Never know when it might come around... Off to beddy-bye land and then back to the trenches in four short hours...sigh...thank goodness the weekend is almost here. |
