I have been reading the 29 gifts, and browsing the 29gifts.org for some giving idea and the good stories, and I was looking for the right moment to start this 29 days journey. One day, I was helping out at my brother’s restaurant. I had just bought a brand new car two weeks ago. As we get off work at 10:30p.m., I notice that a men was riding bicycle on the drive way, and there was not bike lane for him to get on, as I was so glad that I have the car, I was also so worried, its so dark and what if the car is behind him did not see him and run him over, but I didn’t feel comfortable to invite him to my car, after all its night time and I was driving alone. So I decide to follow him, I could at least light up the path he is heading and the car behind can slow down. I drove up and ask how long is his ride, and if he is ok for me to follow him so he could see the road better, through the light I see his eye sparkle and he says thank you, no one have ever done this, some people try to stay away from this side of the road to make sure they don’t hit me. Its 10:30 at night, so there is not many cars passing by. He lives not far away, it took him 15 mins to arrive home, as I see he enter the house, he waved at me, and I drove away after he is gone. I felt so satisfied that night as I get home, 15 mins of giving doesn’t change the whole world, but I am so happy that I could light up somebody’s way home, and I think this is a perfect time to start my fist day of giving.
