Life Lesson

This morning I went out to get a coffee at Starbucks, and on my way back to the office, a guy on the street stopped me and asked for $10. TEN BUCKS? I don't even have ten dollars in my wallet right now (I know, the coffee habit could help that issue), but come on!

That sure raises the game from "spare a little change?" I mean, I know times are tough, and the recession is bound to hit us all, but I don't walk up to people on the street and ask them for things.

And, frankly, I want a little whitewashed house in the Greek Islands, nestled in the cliffs of Santorini, but we don't always get what we want.

I know. I'm a cold-hearted person.

But, a realist.

*This is my 100th post! Happy anniversary to me. Thanks for continuing to read and comment on my crazy life here in Chicago. Please keep up the support, and I'll do my best to keep the hits coming.
