They arrived today as I was stressing out about the Relay starting tomorrow. I know it will make me feel better once we actually get there and start walking but leading up to it has been VERY stressful. Thanks again for everything!!! :love2: Janelle, you obviously like to spread that Karma around. Thank you for the ARC and bag of goodies.

I approached the teacher and asked if I could leave some items with her for the girl because I didn't want to approach the mother for fear that I would embarass her. At first the teacher was reluctant but with a little coaxing she agreed. That day I went out and shopped till I dropped. It felt so good when I went to school a few days later and saw the little girl in her new cloths, the look of pride in her face was worth it 100 times over!

Her response was, "You have good friends because you are a good friend." That was years ago and I have never forgotten that. I try very, very hard to be that good friend who deserves good friends. It sound like must be a good friend too!! She's also the one who's father always said, "Never say anything you wouldn't want broadcast on the evening news." I think I learned a lot from her! :lol: Tina - one time I was talking to a sales rep - I consider her a friend, even though we didn’t do a lot of socializing outside of work - and I said something like, “I have the best friends in the world.”

I could have lied, ordered it and that was that. But damnit, I knew it was there and that they would be leaving with it. I also firmly believe in karma. I taught my daughter the same way. And it isn't just little things now and then. I try to do it all the time. Even the smallest thing can make a difference in someone's life and you may not even know it. :cheer: What a nice way to end a day full of crabby customers!!

And to be able to donate your bone marrow and save someone's life -- how awesome! What a beautiful, selfless gift you gave that man -- and his children! :thumbsup: Donna -- as you said, it's not always about money. It's just about being kind to your fellow human being. There are just so many people out there who are always in a rush, or stressed from work and life, and sometimes an act of kindness can really make someone's day. Tina -- there is nothing more annoying/upsetting/frustrating than to part with your hard earned money believing you're helping someone out, only to have that person do something as yours did -- buy a six pack of beer. :fryingpan: That's why I always offer to BUY the food, because I wouldn't pay for the beer! It sounds as though you're surrounding by good friends and people -- all that great karma you're putting out there has obviously come back to you in wonderful ways this past year! Carol -- So true! If you put crappy, negative stuff/vibes out into the universe, I believe that's what you'll get in return and you'll be a miserable person. Put out positive, uplifting stuff, and you'll be rewarded in kind! :D Nina — I bet it was the best feeling ever to hear back from that couple!
