A typical moment in 'the village'
I was walking to the concession stand at the ballpark Thursday when your typical 5 year-old, could be any one of a dozen children waves to me and says, "Hey Rani, how are you feeling?". I answer, "pretty good." He replies, "glad to hear it...." and keeps on running. That's what it's like to live in 'the village'. I will never leave this tiny slice of heaven.

I read a story one time of a poor fellow who committed suicide - jumped, I think. When the authorities went to his apartment they found a note saying he was going to do it, unless ONE PERSON said hello to him on the walk from his apartment to the bridge. I try to keep that in mind if I'm out jogging. I try to smile or wave or say hello to everyone I pass on the trail (we have beautiful gravel walking trails in our city) and I've stopped to help visitors from afar who are looking quizzically at maps. You're right, it makes a difference.
