grateful

Tonight my family and I were at the grocery store picking up a cake for my little brothah's birthday tomorrow (he's seventeen... weirdest.)
Right as we were checking out, there was a family checking out in the next lane who, when everything was bagged, discovered they couldn't pay for their groceries.
After we had finished paying, we looked for the family in the parking lot to see if we could help, but they were already gone.
It made me sad. These are really hard times economically, and these people are probably just one family out of the millions who are down on their luck. I feel so grateful to have a stable financial situation.

On a happier note: Happy Birthday Harry Pottah! Love HP. Probably an unhealthy amount. :]
