    Default The Colour of Money

    I think this comes under the heading of more.........

    So tonight on the subway I found a purse. Inside were some envelopes containing about $13,000 dollars. In a flash a had purchased the Canon 600mm, a gitzo tripod, a Wimberley mount, a MacBookPro, and a sherpa for a year or two................and then I came to.


    I am happy to say that I turned in the purse and the woman and her money (which was a partial down payment for a home) were reunited. Unfortunately her mind is still missing:)

    It will come back to you in mysterious ways as a reward for your integrity! I hope you sleep like a baby tonight - you have earned the sleep of the innocent!

    Wow! Way to go Jackie. That woman should at the very least buy you on "L" lens ;). She is forever in your debt for a job well done.

    God bless you,

    Chris

    Jackie, I believe everything we do has an impact no matter how small or big. I think you had a big impact on someone else's life. You'll get that 600mm -you're one step closer!

    Jackie, At the very least you should have a picture of her face as you returned the money. I wouldn't have expected anything less of you!! Hugs.........
