That’s Amore

After another long day at work, I helped out with our Salute to Cultural Diversity event. The event provided a much needed snack for the soul... for both myself and Lynnell, my assistant manager. Olympia Dukakis spoke along with the four awardees from the community. Olympia’s message about appreciating those who came before us seemed to set the theme for the evening, as it was echoed in the other speakers. I teared up on several occasions, which is usual for me. Stories of love, destiny and success seem to really affect me and make me cry much more than sad events, movies, etc. do. Not sure why that is, but I am sure a quick cry when someone wins an award or has overcome amazing odds to meet success. What a sap. Good emotional nourishment though.
