Thanks

Give thanks to people who make you laugh. Pray for those who make you frown. Remember people who have inspired you. Think of all the good people who, with a smile on their face, fed and clothed you. 

Bless the customers who work hard and still have time to give to you. A little help can go a long way. I would like to have more customers to help me get off these streets. Count yourself blessed when you know you have a terrific job or career you can depend on.  

My customers make my life easier, because of their caring commitments and giving souls. Their giving rather than just walking away, allows me to ride a bus or the Metro instead of walking. It allows me to keep my clothes clean and my tummy full of good food. They sometimes give me water, knowing I need to stay hydrated. 

I want to give a shout-out to farmers who grow lovely produce so that this world can eat. I want to give major thanks to United Planning Organization School of Culinary Arts. I graduated Sept. 13 and would like someone to help me find a job where I can showcase the skills that I have learned and make me smile as I work them.
