Nothing happens by chance, my friend... No such thing as luck. A meaning behind every little thing, and such a meaning behind this. Part for you, part for me, may not see it all real clear right now, but we will, before long.
Richard Bach in "Nothing By Chance"

Some good people

Just wanted to share a nice experience that happened to me.....................The other day,I had to do some groceries in an indian shopping area in NYC and it is almost impossible to get parking in these areas, luckily I found one which had a meter and I needed a quarter for the meter, unfortunately I had two 10 cents and one 5 cents and no quarter, I stopped a guy on the sidewalk and asked him for a quarter in exchange for the change I had, he was very nice and told me he did have some, went through his pockets and his bag but could not find one, felt sorry about it, I said it was fine and he left. I went back to my car and started searching my glove compartment and cup holder for quarters and finally after 10 minutes decided to move the car as I did not find a quarter, I started the car and was changing gears when I heard a knock on my window, the guy from the sidewalk was holding a quarter in his hand and knocking on my window.............I was so touched, this complete stranger returning home on a friday evening walked back 2 long blocks to give me a quarter for the parking!!!! There are some really good people out there in this world...................the experience strenghened my faith in god and his ways!!! And dear friend (the guy from the sidewalk) may god bless you wherever you are...........
