Everyday is a new birthday. Today birthday is especially meaningful and memorable after putting many hours into writing up what to cook, where, how and what resources are needed/available. Whether our street friends in downtown San Diego will be able to come early in the morning or whether the food offered will be well received. After only couple hours of sleep, our perseverance paid off. The home baked cornbread, the cooked soup consisted of mushroom, carrots, potatoes, rice and beyond burger, hot served mocha coffee were welcome by many street friends within half an hour. Blankets, bananas and bottled water were also offered. Their happiness in receiving the gifts warmed our hearts. Today’s offerings were supported by Tiffany as her gift to me; the birthday girl, Ha for always being there, and Master Xian Zhong for being patient with us. I am so thankful and honored to be connected with wonderful friends. May All be free from all causes of suffering. May All have peace and happiness. Let us cultivate love and compassion.
