In a bread store I heard a lady say her foot was hurting and that she was going to call a cab. When walking back I saw her outside the store, probably 36 for a cab.
I asked her where she was going. She told me a place which was actually on the 37 to the gift store I’d be 38 to. 39 , I asked her to cancel the cab and I’d give her a ride. To my 40 , she said okay without 41 . I wonder if I’d have been so 42 if a stranger made me the same offer!
Where she was going was 43 on the way to where I was going. It was such a beautiful interaction. But there was more!
When I had 44 what I went for and was waiting at the checkout, the woman behind me said she had a coupon(优惠券) for 50% 45 any item in the store. She gave it to me because she had a(an) 46 one! I thanked and 47 a smile card to her.
They say “What goes around comes around”, but sometimes it is hard to see how that 48 , as there is often a “manifestation delay(推迟显现)”. Each action 49 a ripple(涟漪) that finally 50 back to us, but sometimes it is much 51 so we forget their connection.
Today the causes and 52 have appeared in a linkable way. By 53 I’m also opening myself to receiving gifts, now or in the future. I can learn so much from others about how 54 they are to receive in a way that I might not have been so if 55 the same gift.
