[ArmyOfFive]

Mine isn't about q's. And reading Heidi's angel thread reminded me of this story.

About 9 years ago, I moved from GA to SC with just a couple thousand dollars. I was getting low on money, was living with friends and hadn't been able to find a job yet (there were alternate circumstances there as well, but I'd rather not go into them on a public forum). I moved JUST before a terrible tornado went through GA- some of you may remember the tornado that hit Roswell & surrounding areas pretty hard.

Well, a gal that I'd worked with lost everything in her apt. when it hit & I can't remember now, but I think all they were left with (her, hubby & kids) were the clothes on their backs & her car. I left $20 with my former (her still current) boss to give to her, and figured if nothing else, it would buy a couple of cheap outfits at walmart for the kids.

A few weeks later I came back to GA again to pick up the rest of my belongings, and ended up stranded in a Kroger parking lot- car broke down. A lady there was so gracious and gave me $50 to get the car towed/fixed/taxi/whatever it was I needed. All I could think about when she did that was the "measly $20" I offered someone else in their time of trouble.

I've believed in karma ever since.
