Putting my mind at ease...

So I was on my way to class tonight at the University of Washington...8 classes to go until I graduate...with my Bachelor of Communication. Hey, a lot of people go to college for 11 years...they're called Orthopedic Surgeons. Me, I just have ADD when it comes to college...that and the fact it unfortunately sits a bit low on my priority list...somewhere just above the 'when I have time' part of the list. Anyway, I get off the freeway and proceed to read today's soapbox message from the car in front of me. It read...


Report Animal Abuse
Help End the Silent Suffering


I tell you what, I felt so much better knowing that all the little kitties and puppies out there have someone in their corner, fighting for their rights, looking out for them and making sure they not only have food to eat, a roof over their head and adequate medical care, but that they have a loving home and a safe environment in which they can grow, mature and develop into the males and females they were born to be.

I can't tell you the load that took off my shoulders as I headed to class. It allowed me to soak in so much more of my higher education knowing that there are people out there digging into the trenches everyday, braving the frontlines, in order to make a difference in the world in which we live. I can sleep in peace now. Amen.
