Gratitude

I lost my wallet today. I dropped it on the sidewalk as I was walking to work. And I didn't even realize it until I got a phone call.

A wonderful, kind woman picked it up and went through it to find out who I am. I do not have my phone number anywhere there, but she found Jonathan's name on an insurance card and called my home, and he called me. She lives only a block from where I work and my boss let me run over. (The last choice would have been to call one of my credit cards and they would have taken it from there.) And she *apologized* for messing up my cards. I asked if she wanted something, and she said absolutely not.

So I'm giving tzedaka instead.

*There are* decent people out there. It's always surprising to meet them, but very nice too.

that's wonderful.
Not that you lost your wallet, but that you found one of the decent people.

good for her. :-) that's a happy story. (i once found a purse at the playground while i was babysitting and had to rifle the wallet to be able to return it. got the name and address off the driver's license and busted out the phone book.)
