One dollar

About two hours ago,

I decided to go to the mall to get my dad a Christmas present. 

Before I left the house, I purposely got an extra loose dollar so I could give it to someone who needed it.

After I had chosen what to get my dad, I got in the long line of last-minute-gift-finders like myself.

I ended up having to use the extra dollar for my purchase - just barely having enough money.

I had 21 cents change. Oh well. No one had needed my dollar. 

When I left the bookstore, as soon as I started walking, a guy was standing against the bookstore wall, asking people for a dollar. I was SO mad that I didn't have my dollar anymore. I feel like I KNEW I was going to need that dollar for someone. I should have brought along two extra dollars...

Anywho..

So I walked back home.

After I finished quickly wrapping my dad's Christmas gift,

I rushed out the door with a dollar in my hand.

I went back to the guy, who was still standing there.

I gave him my dollar and said "Merry Christmas". 

He smiled and thanked me.

I feel accomplished.

I feel proud for doing the right thing.

Merry Christmas, everyone. Pass on your dollar to someone in need.
