Humility.

It was a strange morning. We're gonna take out Mrs. Chow's mother today for Mothers day. I get up and go and run a few errands. I get the car washed and looking all shiny. I pull up at the ATM with the stereo cranked. I look over and there is this old weathered looking homeless woman in a wheel chair with a sign that reads place help with some change. I get out of my car trying not to make eye contact with her, as I already feel like a ****** blasting the stereo in a semi nice car. I go to the atm pull out some cash. I get back in the car. I sit there for a minute. I wanna pull away and not look at the woman, you know, sorta just not think about the ills of society. It isn't about the money, really, I do OK, I live a decent life, I could give an old woman a couple of bucks.

I start the car and start to back away. I stop the car get out and give her 10 bucks. I didn't make a big deal out of it just walked up and handed it to and turned around. She says in a raspy voice. "God bless". I get back in the car and start to tear up. I'm thinking about this poor old woman, it could have been my mom, my mom died a few yrs ago and she really didn't have any money, I was helping her out with things. If I wasn't around at the time, my mom might have been on the streets. I'm not patting myself on the back.I'm just thinking its horrible an old woman on mothers day weekend sitting in a wheel chair, basically begging for money.

It's humbling......
