I'll never forget the first time I was at a restaurant with my mother and couldn't finish my meal. She told me we would ask the waitress for a doggy bag. I asked her why they called it that and she said that's just what it was called. We didn't have dogs when I was little, and my parents were not pet lovers. It wasn't until I had a dog of my own that I started to understand that phrase. Now I know that the doggy bag was there so we could bring some of that wonderful meal with us and share it with those at home, humans or dogs.

Yesterday I made a silly comment on Facebook about my morning. It was not accompanied by a picture, or a famous quote, or anything to make it stand out. Almost immediately, there were 'likes' and comments from friends. And throughout the day, the number of friends who noticed the comment kept growing.
