Makes Me Think - Today, I dressed up as Santa Claus for a Santa Claus themed pub crawl in Chicago. All the kids we passed on the street loved the costumes. A little girl came up to me at one point and said, “Santa, do you grant wishes?” I said, “Yes.” She grinned and said, “I wish I didn’t have AIDS anymore.” MMT

I'm totally with # 1.... We pass people in the street daily and don't even see the suffering. Made me think of how lucky I am, and how I've done nothing to deserve it...
