Pay It Forward
I am so not motivated to blog. Not motivated... I just feel like my days are just filled with mundanity. What's there to blog about..... sigh .... let me think....
oh..... I forgot to mention this kind soul we met last week when we took the kids swimming at the aquatic centre. We drove into this huge car park to find a parking spot. There was a 4-wheel drive that was about to leave, so we exchanged the international silent car park language (the nod - are you leaving?-Yes, we are-OK, thanks, we'll wait here), and we waited. Just when they finished fitting the baby in its car seat, mom jumps in the passenger seat, the nice gentleman came towards us, handed us a ticket, and said, "you might as well have this.". It was a parking ticket that they had paid for, that will last the day, till 9pm. Although it didn't cost them too much (they paid $2), but it was such a nice gesture. Most people would rather drive off, let the ticket go to waste than benefit a stranger. We actually felt very good, and that Sunday morning all seemed better. There is still hope in mankind. Whoever you are, Mr Nice Guy, bless you and your soul.
When we left, we decided to "pay it forward" (LOVE that movie. ..... so touching.... I bawled my eyes out). But the lady who got it, didn't even say thank you. And she drove a fancy BMW. It's like she does not have faith, and that all she has ever achieved, she never needed help, it's all her and her hardwork. So does that mean that a $2 ticket is not worth a thank you? Sigh.....
Anyway, a few layouts I did over this week.
