I do my best to put good vibes out there. I donate what I can, buy food for people less fortunate, give my coworkers chocolate if they’re having a bad day, cover the bill if someone’s short for groceries or something. Years of doing my best to make someone smile. And with family and close friends, it works.

But finally, after years of very little feedback (not complaining, I didn’t do it for rewards), it finally happened to me. The heat shield on my car started to fall off. Brother said he’d help, but 5 kids and a busy job, he couldn’t. I leave town tomorrow and don’t want to be on the highway with something dragging under my car.

Took it in to muffler man in my town. Hoped it wouldn’t be too much, but needed it fixed. They looked at immediately, fixed it in under 1/2 and hour, and said no charge.

I really needed that today. Turned my whole weekend around.
