My Daily Good Deed

I did my good deed for the day, how about you?  I dropped my car off to get my state inspection today, and since it was across the street from the daycare, I walked Alyssa over there.  On the way back, a lady was pulling into the parking lot of a restaurant next door, but didn't actually pull in.  She just stopped in the actual driveway, and got out. 

She asked if I knew where the nearest gas station was.  I told her three options, depending on which direction she wanted to walk.  I told her my car was at the Kwik Kar and she might want to ask them if they keep a stash of gas on hand in case they're working on a car that needs gas... they didn't, so she took her gas can and started walking.

My 4Runner got done quicker than I had anticipated, so I got in my car and headed down the street to find her.  Apparently she walks slow because she didn't make it very far.  I honked my horn and rolled down my window.  She happily got in.  I took her to the station, and she told me she was fine and could walk back to her car.  It was about a mile back, and at her pace, that would have taken an hour, so I told her I would wait.

She filled her can with a gallon, and off to drop her off.  Before she got out, she offered to pay for my gas for taking her.  I told her it wasn't necessary, handed her a couple of my business cards, and told her to think of me if she ever needed to buy or sell, or knew anyone who did.

I turned around, and was almost late to my Mother's Day present, which was an hour long facial and message.  Boy do I feel good and relaxed!
