[Gratitude -Beauty of life] What do you feel thankful for today?
I am thankful for "The ‘a...a...a’ man who took me to the Happy House"
I was on my way from the house of my friend to a coffee shop named Happy House with excitement because of the coffee shop's name. This is also the name of a very lovely house in a childhood movie that I remember. (Maybe you know the movie, "Ngôi nhà Hạnh Phúc" in Vietnamese ^^☺️).
While I was enjoying the walk, a motorbike stopped by, and the rider – a man about 50 years of age tried to talk to me. “a …a…a…a….a…” – that’s all I heard, I couldn’t hear anything else. In an instant, I understood that he couldn’t speak and that he earned his living as a Grab motorbike rider. His sincere smile and his gentle polite gestures reassured me and I jumped on his motorbike and told him where to go. (My friends sometimes warn me whenever I trust strangers too much, but yes, I had faith in my intuition and it is often right^^ I believe if we are nice to others, we always gain rather than lose anything, don’t you agree?)
He took me to my destination, Happy House, driving slowly and carefully.
The first thing he did when I got off the bike was not to ask for payment, but rather he gave me a smile to express his thanks and handed me a small piece of paper with a phone number. I was in no hurry to use it and it didn’t feel right to be too involved in someone else’s business – but afterwards my intuition told me to pick up the phone and call the number as maybe he had urgent things to tell me, but he could not speak. I called the number – he tried to say something and I believe it was, “Call me if you need a ride.” Wow, such a really thoughtful and professional driver.
I walked inside the coffee shop and had a great feeling – difficult to describe. So many people out there are great, no matter what they do. If we slow down a bit, trust each other, be nice to each other no matter what we do, even if we don’t say much, we can create happy feelings for others!
Have a great week and enjoy whatever you do my friends!
