Tanya - a photo on Flickriver

Tanya

            [Note: This was a conversation I had months before COVID-19.  I'm not connecting with anyone during this time].  
Tanya had the most beautiful smile.  She was on the State Street bridge by Wacker.  Her smile reflected her joy and optimism for life.  On the weekends, she works at a handicapped facility and helps take care of them.  She makes enough to rent a room, but she needs more money to survive, so that's why she comes out here.  She's been out here for about four years.  She said, "I'm doing a lot better than what I was" (before she had a part-time job).  The most powerful thing she said was, "don't judge a book by it's cover--you've got to read it!  Not all homeless people are drug addicts".  She feels like people don't really know homeless people.  She says if people are down or depressed, just "trust in God".  "Any day you wake up is a good day!"  Then I left, basking in the glow of her radiant smile.
