☆☆Nite Time Nook-September 21☆☆ 1.Today, after watching the three homeless men who hang outside my deli share a sandwich one of my customers bought for one of them yesterday, I gave each one of them their own sandwich for lunch today. They were so appreciative that two of them came back this evening and washed the front window of my deli – a job that was long overdue. 2.Today, on a crowed subway train in Manhattan, I watched as a wealthy businesswoman dressed in a Gucci woman’s suit and wearing a Rolex, limped onto the train using a cane for support. It appeared that she had an injured ankle. Without hesitating, a homeless man sitting in the first seat by the doorway jumped up and offered her his seat. She smiled, sat down, reached into her pocket and handled the man $200 in cash. The man began thanking her repeatedly and crying with tears of joy. 3.Today, my little brother has a hearing disability that medically classifies him as being legally deaf. He can still hear low tones of sound, and he has used the low tones he can hear to learn to play the drums like a true rock star. He just got into a music school on a full ride scholarship based on his performance in our school’s competitive drum line. My brother’s perseverance. 4.Today, I have now lived 227 days beyond the 9 month life expectancy they gave me. Every single one of these days has been a true blessing. 5.Today, when I asked my business mentor what pushed him to start the successful coaching practice he owns, he said, “One day I thought to myself, ‘Somebody should do something about that someday.’ Then I realized I am somebody, and I got to work.” ☆☆•´`•Share•.¸.~Cat~.¸.•Comment•´`•☆☆ Catch this every night at 9:00 a new segment of short stories, poems, tips, and facts.
