Such an inspirational read, i could have highlighted the whole thing. I once hitch-hiked round Europe with no money and relied on the kindness of strangers. So many kind strangers offered me food and places to stay and even jobs. I came back braver, and like you, with a strong belief in the goodness of others. Ithink you will like the quote i keep here by my pc: "On particularly bad days, I like to remind myself that my track record for getting through bad days so far is 100 per cent and that's pretty good."
