Last evening I was strolling down a somewhat busy street. As it was afternoon time the street was not crowded. For many years I have seen a handicapped man on his cart who does not have legs below his waist.
As I was nearing him, a well dressed man just made his way from behind and reached out his hand to this man and said "Happy new year buddy."
The man reluctantly reciprocated but acknowledged his wishes. This well-dressed man simply rather very casually asked the beggar "So what would you like to have?" and the beggar
said, " Maybe a cheese sandwich?"
This person then walked into the nearby bakery and got him some nice fresh sandwiches. The man said "Thank you" with all glow on his face and the man that offered him these sandwiches just gracefully disappeared in the crowd again.
I witnessed all this from a distance and it dawned to me that - you can always offer another person a choice provided you pause to see them.
This act of kindness made my day!
