A Hug From A Stranger

As I walked up the street to get lunch today a loud and sort of disheveled woman yelled out to me “Sir!” “Hello Sir!” My first thought was to avoid her, but we were on a collision course. I anticipated that she wanted some money,and when she asked, I reached into my pocket, handed her some change and proceeded to walk on. She started to ramble about Mohammed Ali as I continued to walk away and then she said, “Hey can I have a hug?” I stopped turned around and looked at her for a nano second then turned back around to walk away. I took another step and turned back around to her and asked her “You want a hug?” She gestured, yes. So, I gave her a hug.

Anyhow, I was in a crappy mood this morning but I feel better now, go figure. MDM
