Those close to me know that I have this habit – this thing that I do each day. I try to meet one new person, someone I would probably never normally meet, each and every day. Sometimes I strike up a conversation with a homeless man; sometimes a stranger in an elevator, airplane or while waiting in line (always waiting somewhere). I call it my ‘One-a-Day Challenge’. The stories – and the people I meet – are often surprisingly interesting.
Well today, I met Joe. And this is his story – one of inspiration, heart and dedication to living.
