A Very Merry Thanksgiving.

For this week of Thanksgiving I made a promise to myself. A promise I hope to keep for the rest of my life. Erinleigh, Tripp's production manager tells me that every year when her family celebrates Thanksgiving, she drives around the city of Atlanta and picks up a few homeless people and invites them to dinner and give them a place to stay for the night. I was taken back by this statement, there aren't many people who would do such a deed. First of all, not many homeless people can be trusted, they could: A) Steal B) stink up your house C) stay at your house as long as they can D) Be Crazy.

She's got some major balls and I respect that. So from now on, when I get my own place with my own family, I will invite strangers and pick up homeless people for Thanksgiving, Christmas, St. Patty's, whatever holiday it is. Just be generous and be as selfless as possible not just make you feel good about yourself but to make other people happy, and that's my ultimate goal in life.
