29-Day Giving Challenge

mnjh5At this time of the year kids in the Netherlands celebrate the birthday of Saint Nicolas with lots of gifts for young and old. To keep with the tradition I decided to treat my coworkers on some Dutch spice cookies made with cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg, Everyone who ate one, liked them. Unfortunately, I don't have a recipe to bake them, so when they're gone, they're gone.
That evening at home I finally found the courage to call my bank to discuss several fees for NSF checks the month before. I spoke with a customer agent in India who did not have authority to handle my request. But the supervisor had, and when I explained the situation and requested to waive some of the fees, she hesitated a moment to verify my account. But she graciously refunded 3 NSF charges because I was a loyal customer in good standing.
I think that being nice and giving to others provides good energy and, maybe that caused the bank supervisor to be very customer oriented. It gave me great satisfaction and I felt blessed.
