One afternoon this past Aug. while having lunch outside our local sub shop, we noticed a extremely thin older man  across the street sitting under a tree. Something about him struck me. After we finished our lunch I purchased a lunch combo to go. Not wanting to startle him I approached him from the side and kept my conversation brief . It was a simple random act of kindness that started a different way of thinking for both husband and myself. Now 4 months later "Our Guy" has found permanent housing, we have formed a friendship and have since "adopted " several more guys. We have been given the nickname "Their Guardian Angels" But what we truly get back in return is the personal satisfaction knowing that in our own little way we brighten their day if only for a few moments and have given them something to look forward to the next day.
