Yes, Virginia, There is Inherent Goodness in the World

I received the following note from our local animal shelter in today's mail:

Dear Liesl,

A generous donation has been sent to our animal shelter in memory of your ferret, Jeremy. This contribution will be used to care for animals at our shelter waiting to be adopted, and was sent by Dr. M, DVM.

We wanted you to know of her kind gesture on behalf of homeless animals.

Sincerely,
S.B.
Shelter Manager

It is wonderful people like our vet who, through many actions great and small, remind me that the essential nature of people is to do good. That's an important thing to remember in these days when the news of the world is less than promising.

Bless you, Dr. M!
