Brett's space

This is Brett Schulte and this is my first post on my Windows Live blog.  So today this old woman called to me as I was leaving Starbucks.  She was sitting in the corner, had a walker, a suitcase, and wanted to use my phone.  She said she was nearly 70 and just flew in for hospitl treatment.  She then had me a dial a number and left this long winded message about how miserable she was.   I felt like she was really just trying to get ME to listen to her.  I walked out feeling reall sad for the poor, the mentally ill, the homeless, for animals, for all the sadness and pain in the world.  It's hard to get your head around how much sadness there is out there.  What can any of us do?
