No elitism intended; I just like "big words". Anyway, today, an enormous gift was bestowed upon me!!
I was moving into my new apartment when I met a couple who were moving out of one of the other apartments. They had placed a dresser on the curb. I needed furniture so I started dragging it towards my door. The guy saw me and insisted on helping! I was amazed that he helped me carry it all the way into my apartment.
But that wasn't all! The couple proceeded to give me a huge desk with attached shelving, a lamp, a large TV, and a DVD+VHS player!! And the guy and his friend carried everything inside for me! This is my first time owning a TV or DVD player ever!
It was the best possible time to receive such a gift. I'm still transitioning into my new home. I don't have a steady source of income yet. It's very refreshing to know that there are still nice, generous people out there.
I've had a tendency to become cynical after some of my greatest acts of generosity have been met with resentment, scorn, or even jealousy! I guess there is still reason for optimism!
