Today as I was crossing a busy intersection with Cricket (of course!), my phone fell out of my pocket. Knowing I could not stop in the middle of the street, I just kept on walking. I reached the other side of the street and heard my name being called. I stopped and waited while a kind lady (she called me by name but I have no idea who she is -- the joys of blindness) pulled her car over, ran into the street and gathered up my phone and brought it to me. I thanked her grateful that she made it back to her car safe, but still have no idea who she was -- perhaps that doesn't matter - my challenge is to pay it forward -- Thanks for your kindness, I needed it today. (It was a rough day at the office!!)
