Good deeds

I think courtesy and kindness can get you far in life.

I always make sure that if someone is walking behind me that I don't just let the door slam in their face, I hold it open for them - children, elderly, men, women, etc.

I say 'please', 'thank you', and 'excuse me' at the appropriate times and always make sure to give people the benefit of the doubt. You never know what a person is going through and I try to be cognizant of that simply because I would expect the same in return.

I was driving in to work this morning and stopped at a red light. I look to my left and in a lifted truck next to me, I see a guy (hot, I might add) reach into some sort of bag/cooler/whatever, retrieve two packaged sandwiches and a tube of Pringles chips and calls over the homeless (I'm assuming?!) guy at the intersection holding up a sign wanting food...or money....or both, and hand the items to him.

I thought, here is this hot guy in a nice lifted truck giving a bum some food. I was really floored. I guess it just goes to show you that you shouldn't assume a person is a certain way, or will behave a certain way, based on their looks.

I'm a firm believer in Karma and the notion of 'passing it on' and doing a good deed for someone else. So today I'll be sure to pay a little more attention to the little stuff that can mean a lot to someone.

I'm also sure the hot guy in the lifted truck will end up having a good day today.
