Generosity made me do it

So I have not lived up to my promise, blogging everyday as I vowed. I felt like this blog was becoming more of a chore. But as of last night I decided to change that after what I saw.

Here I am at Meatballz (love that restaurant) waiting in line behind two kids. Marly and I were trying to figure out what to order when this gentleman, probably in his 60's steps in front of me and says to these kids "how much do you need"? So then I started taking notice. These two kids were going to share a very small meal. Now these kids didn't look like the "best kids" you know the type, hair long, ear piercings, hats on sideways. In my book looked like a couple of kids that would be out causing trouble in some neighborhood. So here is this man that pays for them both to get the meal they wanted on the menu. As I sat their and thought, why didn't I do that, and would I have done that? I mean that is what I am all about right? Isn't that what this blog is all about? It really made me think. I didn't put myself down to much because I honestly didn't notice that they were not able to pay for their meals, after all I was trying to figure out what I was ordering. But would I have done it? Honestly, and this is tough, then answer would have been no. Not because I didn't have the money, but because I would have judged these kids for being little "punks" stirring up trouble in a neighborhood. As I sat waiting for my food it made me realize that I am not all about helping "everyone" and I judged when I shouldn't have. Just because they looked the way they did, they still need to eat. I actually got a bit emotional as I realized what I had done.
After the kids got their meal, the restaurant employee went over and gave the gentleman and his wife a dessert. See it snowballed. He helped someone which in turn made someone else do something for him.

So I am going to start blogging more, but it's not going to be about what I am doing. I mean come on I can't be the only one in this world helping someone out. People are out there doing it and it needs to be noticed. So I am going to go get some business cards made and when I see a random act of kindness I am going to hand them a card and blog about it. I am going to try and get the word out, and then maybe the snowball will take place. Everyone likes to be talked about, well if it is good and then maybe just maybe this live to help each other will make a difference.
