The Weekly GOOD NEWS thread!!

Recommended Posts

I was able to "pay it forward" this weekend. Leaving the light rail station late Friday night I found a purse~it still had cash, credit cards, id and social security card in it.

I called the emergency contact number that I found inside the purse, and the next afternoon I was able to return the purse to a very happy young lady and her brother. The girl is from out of town, so she was ecstatic to see her stuff was all there.

She was soooo relieved and happy!! It made my day to make her day!:)

A cab driver once did the same thing for me in South Carolina. It was very cool; you should be proud of yourself. :ph34r:

Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

Nah, I've had my purse stolen twice and my apartment robbed once. I know too well how awful it feels. I was really happy to be able to spare her that!

And... I got home from LA tonight to find NOT ONLY my brand-new 20" risers from Wings and the check for my Spectre that I just sold (both of which I was expecting), but also my new Tony Suit cargo pants. Woo hoo! Now at least I can *look* like a real freeflyer when I flail around. And no, I'm not totally going to the dark side. I dig the belly stuff way too much.

Hey, we were under canopy at the same time once, and on the same plane. That's about as close to "jumping together" as you get around these parts sometimes!
