Friday's Tip

Give & be kind.

Friday's Tip: Give & be kind.

There's a sign in the yoga studio that says "No act of kindness is ever wasted". I love this quote and I truly believe it. I've been wanting to share this story since we left New York last Sunday...

Torey & I were in a little bit of trouble leaving New York. Our gas light went on right when we got there on Saturday. The concierge at the W told us not to worry and to wait until Sunday. He said the gas station was a few blocks away and we would be fine. After a few circles around that area and a few stops later we come to find out that the gas station was shut down a month ago and the next one was about 30 blocks away. At this point we were running on fumes. Torey was chatting with construction workers and the owner of the company trying to figure out how to get to the next gas station. As we were about to drive away the one of the owners stopped us and told me that they have some gas to get us there safely.

I couldn't believe how kind and helpful they were. The husband and wife were so gracious and wouldn't even accept any money from us. We were chatting about their project and come to find out they tore the other gas station down and were working on new piping by the Queensboro Bridge.

As we drove away I kept repeating two things...

1. I will NEVER EVER let my tank get under a quarter tank
2. I will give back and pass it on.
