Sweet thought...

As you may or may not know, I am a member of the Facebook community. Well, I have many in-laws on my friends list (not all of them, thank goodness) and each of them have their own lives. They are mothers and fathers, grandparents, and young adults. Well, one of my nieces has a daughter, cute as a button. Recently this little one lost her first tooth, and got money from the tooth fairy. Today, my niece took her to the bank to make a deposit. While at the teller window, my niece matched the $1 so she could make a $2 deposit. See above where I said how cute this little girl is? Well, the woman at the next window at the bank decided to match the $2, letting this little girl make a $4 deposit.

As I sit here watching President Obama on TV at his first Presidential News Conference, talking about the economy (or lack thereof), how so many have lost jobs, homes, etc., hearing a small story like this gives me hope that recovery, as well as much goodness in people, is possible and still there.
