Today was a day just like any other,well,besides the fact that I only got 2 hours sleep after arguing with a friend online,and eventually called her a bad name,which there is no excuse for.I should be able to hold my temper by now.So I felt bad and cried half the night wishing I had typed just 1 little word differently.They say crying is good for you..I dont know..maybe its just letting go.I felt so bad I even started crying at work.So in between tears I drove to macdonalds in this bad neighborhood I'm working in at the moment.So I get out of my truck and start walking in towards the mickey d's when this older black man in some scraggly clothes starts shouting at me from across the street that he wanted somethign incoherantly and I just ignored him and kept walkin right on inside,and this guy kept walking towards me and sat down at a table and was still muttering while I totally ignored him,although he had stopped begging after he got inside.As I waited for my meal,I noticed a small orental women trying to help him count out some change,which looked to be about 35 cents..As I got my food and walked past them both,they never asked for anything and I got to the door ,I set my bag of food down on the top of the trash box,and walked over to them and took out my wallet and asked the man "how much do you need?"and proceeded to set a couple of dollar bills in his hands and told him to get something to eat .Instantly his face lit up,and you could see the hope in his eyes again,and the lady started telling me what a good man I was,and how much they appreceated it,while she patted me on my back and smiled greatfully as I turned and smiled and nodded thanks to them also and walked out the door!They will never know how much they helped me change my day,and maybe my whole life..less than 2 hours later my phone started ringing with jobs people wanted me to do.I have made appoligys to my friend whom I hope can forgive me..
