So days 2 and 3 my giving was not of epic proportions. Day 2 I began the process to volunteer at a local nursing home to help teach knitting and host a knitting circle. This is something I have wanted to do for a while and finally put it on the top of my list.
Day 3- I was a kind and conscious driver, a rare thing in NJ. Letting people in, waving a thanks etc. To supplement that I agreed to take a phone survey at the end of a customer service call. Clearly, this is not the gift of life but in the past weeks I've been battling with Citibank student loans for errors made on their part and while I am always conscious to say to the service rep that I know this is not their fault and I apologize for getting upset with them, it seemed like a tangible way to repent for my frustrations with the customer service people. Although the call wasn't a Citibank call it was for a incorrectly billed Dr's visit, I agreed to take the survey and gave the rep rave reviews.... which she deserved. I can only hope that she will directly benefit from having proof she has done her job well.
But now day 4 is where I get frustrated. I was involved in a minor fender bender this morning which I believed to be my. No one was hurt and there was only cosmetic damages to both cars. The other party and I wrote down our versions of the accident and they were the same. Once he left the scene, I talked to two witnesses and came to find out that he had actually omitted his culpability. He was reversing his car in a hurry without seeing me causing the accident. Had the car been parked as I thought it was, the cars never would've hit.
I really trying so hard to be more positive on a day to day basis because I do honestly feel that there is an unhealthy amount of negativity in the world.
Then I come across people like this. He was COMPLETELY ok with letting me think it was MY fault. What kind of person is that? It makes me sad. Hopefully I can find something good to give!
