I gave this guy some change... the dollar coin caused some hesitation... I usually don't do this sort of thing

a few times this week I gave money to panhandlers
on some days because the cold
on others because I felt it would be good to be generous to others
knowing that we could all use a change of luck

I can use a change of luck
but my situation does not compare to this man's or any of the other people whom I gave a couple of coins and some pocket lint to
