the way to feel good is to do good

It's been awhile since I wrote here about one of the nicest guys in the world, Jon Bon Jovi, and after seeing him on television, I simply had to update what I have previously written.  (The picture by the way, is from CBS news which did a report on him during their Sunday Morning program). 

I could tell you the story of his very special restaurants, but many of you probably saw the report.  I hope it leads you to get involved though.  Check out their website at https://www.jonbonjovisoulfoundation.org/ and see how you can help.

It's not just what Bon Jovi is doing that inspires me.  I also paid close attention to what he said during the tv interview and was greatly encouraged by the words describing his work in his Soul Kitchens.  "It can obviously never compare to performing or writing songs," he said. "But what it does do is it gives you the same sense of fulfillment, I think, when I leave here at night and you see the lives you touch.  I have left here, you know, after a long night of volunteering and said, 'That makes you feel the same kind of good.' You know? And that's what I say, the way to feel good is to do good, you know?

"Find your good – and do it."  Excellent advice for us all!
