For my month of August I only did one nice thing. I guess I messed up my two nice things, but hey all the way to August before I messed it up.
I was driving to church and was getting off the freeway when I saw a couple walking up the ramp. One had a walker and I looked at that and wanted to help. Now in Atlanta you have to be careful who you help and how because you don't want to enable. I was already late for church, but I just couldn't let it go. So I figured how to back track, which is always complicated in Georgia, and met them at the top of the off ramp and asked them where they needed to go. Funny thing the gentleman with the walker was walking faster than his wife, whose back hurt. They just needed a lift to the store, so they could be in a safe place before they could get the bus and find a place to sleep for the night. The wife was super nice and I enjoyed talking to her. The husband was a little strange since I could barely understand him. I didn't have much cash, but I gave them a few dollars. I have never felt so embarrassed to be in my Sunday clothes, but I looked like I had more money than I did. It was a good experience, but sad too.
I might not get anything for September. I keep thinking giving advice to my pregnant friend might count, but I've never had kids. Yes I realize how presumptuous this is, and how out of place it can be, but I have no excuse. Please hate me or tell me to shut it, and I'll stop. I keep saying random factoids; she looks at me and asks how I know that and I tell her where I picked up, so she can decide how trust worthy it is. She genuinely seems like she enjoys my random factoids. I guess I showed her the auction house and she got a nice dresser for super cheap. We had a good time and our other friend was hollering and clapping when she won so I think that could count. Hopefully I can get a second one for this month!
