One good thing that I think about often, is the miraculous story of how my brother and I were rescued on Thanksgiving weekend in 1994, by a few gracious members of the Indiana Towing and Wrecker Association. When my brother is visiting from Munich at Christmastime, I am planning on making a recording of us telling the story together, which you should be able to reference here in a future posting. Long story short, it involves my white 1984 Chevy (with burgundy velvet upholstery), $6 between my brother and me, a split water hose, a cabbie, a closed Wal-Mart, desperation and then (I swear) divine intervention.

If you have a story that you want to tell, check out the StoryCorps project, sponsored by NPR. They have a mobile van that goes around the country recording people's stories. Everyone has one. What's yours?

Here is a link to a special story of kindness: (note: just click on "Listen Now" towards the top of the page and don't read the synopsis beneath----listening to the spoken word does this story much more justice.)

StoryCorps is one of my favorite shows on NPR. They have a new book out called, "Listening is an Act of Love." It should be on everyone's Wish List.
MaF, I laugh every time I think of the tow truck story!!!
