My Good Deed

Whilst out on my canvasing this afternoon I knocked on a door, heard nothing but thought I saw something move through the glass pane.  The next thing a set of keys were being pushed through the letterbox and a very weak voice asking for help.  Poor little old lady (in her 80's) had fallen and pulled herself to the front door and had been lying there very shaken and frail for sometime.  I managed to lift her up and get her into a chair, I made her a cup of tea and she then asked me what I was doing there :) we had a little laugh together because she didn't have any pets.  I called her daughter whom assured me she would go over and check on her.  Perfect to uplift mood!!

  2. Mmmm, it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy when you are the one who is there to help in a 'situation' doesn't it?

    As you say, a perfect mood-lifter.

  3. Gosh - thank goodness you were there! Makes you think that you were compelled to knock on her door *right* then by your (or her) guardian angel. I love stories like this. To me their never coincidental, always driven by a higher purpose.

  5. Certainly wasn't 'co-incidental' that you knocked on her door. So glad that you did tho. Worries me these old biddies living on their own.

    Glad it uplifted your spirit.

    Good on ya!
