I wasn’t going to write about this because.. well.. because I thought it was nothing.. until someone went the extra mile on their end.. I am one of those people who check their mail.. maybe once every week an a half.. I would love to mention that it is at the end of the street in a gate link fence. surrounded by baby eating dogs.. but no.. it is right across the street.. literally.. so last week i went to check the mail and pulled out the jam packed wad of letters and papers.. brought them in and started to rip them open..
***this is where I would like to mention “The Secret” again.. one of her theories is if you think there is money in your mail box.. there will be money.. if you go to the mail box everyday thinking there are lots of bills.. there will be lots of bills***
I open this one letter and see that it is a check for $800.00 and 100% not addresses to me.. The address was mine.. well.. missing one number.. but the check .. it was not mine.. for a split second I thought.. wow.. the secret really works :S I than realize this looks really bad that I opened someones mail that wasn’t mine and there is almost a G note sitting in it.. so i call the number on the invoice.. and explain to the man.. that they sent his money to me.. and that I was re addressing it.. and throwing it in the mail as we speak.. he seemed very confused as to why I had his cheque.. and it wasn’t in his office.. so he thanked me.. probably thinking I was lying.. and than called me two days later to say that he received the cheque and how grateful he was.. and he was actually meeting with that client today and was going to see what happened.. (he is a small film producer) I thought nothing of it.. It was never my money and I would hope that someone would do the same.. I thought that was the end of it.. until I checked my mail.. and there was a beautiful Papyrus (love that company) thank you card in my mail box.. with a really nice note again thanking me for saving him and his client a huge headache of mess.. and there was a Starbucks card in there just for moi!
I was really touched by this.. he did not have to go that extra 10 % and he totally did.. and it was very much appreciated.. I have another pay it forward that i have done.. which will go unnamed.. this one above was just extra Haley Joel Osment.. so I have one more left.. what shall it be?!?! Its crazy when you talk to random people.. how much they will open up to you if you just shut your mouth and listen..
Do me a favor… save my life.
