Sometimes we forget that there are a lot of good people on this earth doing good things. I was reminded of that by my friend, Jack Cookston, who recently had some medical issues that required him to cart around an oxygen tank wherever he went. (Happily, his health has improved and the oxygen tank is history.) Cookston said he was overwhelmed at the kindness of strangers who opened doors for him, anonymously bought his dinner at a local restaurant; offered him encouragement and generally showed a generosity of spirit that doesn’t come through on the evening news. I thought of Jack Cookston’s observations when I traveled to Gainesville recently to visit the Georgia Mountain Food Bank, operated by a group of good people who have that same generosity of spirit.
