I was on the bus last night, heading home, when a lady in a medical outfit boarded and sat next to me. I offered her to put her shopping bag behind us in the bag-rack. She declined, showing me her paper bag had a broken handle. I reached around to the bag-rack and took groceries out of one of my bags and put her broken bag into my now-empty-and-available plastic grocery bag. She was grateful….and became more chatty.
As our bus smoothly continued on, she and I chatted about her life: she’s from the Philippines; she’s a re-hab professional; she lived/worked in Ireland for 14 years; and now she’s living/working in Abu Dhabi. She exited the bus, smiling at me and that was it.
I chose to share and that made me happy. How have you shared today?
Aloha,
Denise
