What comes around goes around

This past Saturday I decided that I would wake up and drive to the ocean as my son and I had yet to make our first trip of the season which we usually make in March. So the sky is blue as blue can be and not a cloud in the sky.....lol...that is until we got to highway 101, where there was a huge cloud which followed us to the ocean. We were not going to let that stand in our way. Pulling on to the beach you could just smell the ocean air which was great. So we park the car and walk down the beach gathering the things that my son thought were neat and putting them in to the bag he brought. When he looks at me and states he needs to go potty. Which if any one know my son knows he always waits till the very last minute to go. Now mind you we still have to walk back to the car and then drive down off of the beach and down the street to find a restroom. So knowing that he needed to go soon I got this bright idea to drive back by the weeds in hopes knowing no one would see him. The sand looked safe and hard like the stuff we were driving on..... So I get about two yards in and wouldn't you know that the front emd of my car went right down in the sand and got stuck! Yes thats right I said I got my car stuck in the sand. So my son starts freaking out and still has to go to the bathroom. I try to dig my self out and have no luck but I do manage to get a bigger hole to be stuck in. So I now know that I am going to need to feel like an idiot and ask for help from some one that I didn't even know. To my amazement the most amazing couple saw me stuck and was walking toward me at that very moment. They told me how they had done the same thing once before, and that all I needed was some drift wood and I would be good to go. With their help and another kind couple, I was out in a matter of minutes and still had a little boy who needed to go potty. I than did what any mother of a four old would do. That is I pulled back down on to the hard sand and opened two doors and told him to aim down and stood so no one would see him. Thats what I should have done in the first place but oh no I had to try to make it less obvious. Then we went on to enjoy the rest of our time at the ocean.
So with that long winded story being told it leads me to today on may way into work. I was already late as nothing would fit right grrrr I hate mornings like that. So here I am going the back way to miss alot of lights and traffic and it seemed that others had the same thought so it was a little slow. I come up on one of the only lights on that road and sure enough there is a car stuck right at the light. And cars were beeping and going past just looking at the sorry sucker stuck in the broken down car. Well one thing I was taught as a child is that we help those who need help. I guess alot of people weren't taugh that these days. So I rolled down my window and ask the lady behind the wheel if she needed help and she was so greatful that I didn't keep driving like all those people before. After a few minutes I figured out how to get her to the side of the road and pushed her there. ( Let see yes that took a minute as I am usually the one in the broke down car needing help. So you would have thought that I would have learned something from those who have helped me, but yeah I didn't) So once there I got my car turned around to give her a jump only to find out that she nor I had jumper cables.....Lol... Yes we are both girls! So we flag some one else down and they offered to go get theirs from home. Yet after they hadn't returned in ten min we figured they had flaked on us and so we flaged another person down. Just as they hooked theirs up the first guy returned, which was very nice of him to follow thru with what he said he was going to do it just took him a few extra minutes to find them. After all that we all came to learn that it wasn't her battery at all but something no one had time to figure out at eight o clock in the morning. So, I offered her a ride to where she was going and then I was on my way.
No if I had been like every other person on that road this morning I would have passed up the chance to meet a nice lady about my age with her heart set on what she wanted to do in life. We had made small talk while we were thinking of what to do on the side of the road, and we both learned that people are self centered these days and just to focused on what they have going on to lend a hand to some one who is in clear need of help.
So offten we want some one to lend us the hand and we are greedy and end the chain with us. My day in turn turned out alot better knowing I made someone elses day just a little better by just asking "Do you need some help?".
