I Post Because I Care
Doing the right thing can be fun. About six months ago I had taken a friend that does not drive grocery shopping at the local Fred Meyer..a big department store with a great grocery dept. Well I was sitting on the bench just inside one of the entrances next to the jewelry dept and a young couple and their small child were standing outside the jewelry entrance and the young woman started screaming and jumping up and down and they all started frantically scrounging around the floor looking for something. One of the employees of FM was sitting next to me on the bench. People were coming in and going out and this couple was obviously looking for something. They were about 30 feet away from where I was sitting. I studied the carpet in front of me and a glint of sparkle caught my eye. It was about ten feet in front of me. So...I stood up and walked over to it and picked it up. It was a pretty big diamond..maybe a carat. By this time the woman AND the young man were crying AND the kid was crying.. I walked up to the woman and whispered in her ear..."is this the reason for your tears?" and I dropped the bauble in her shaking hand. You never saw three people have such a 180 degree turn of emotion. You'd have thought they just won the Lotto! I have to admit that it was fun to make their day. We all are selfish in one way or another.
