Week Forty Seven: Sprinkling Salt on a Patch of Ice at a Bus Stop.

I was out on a stroll the other day and I noticed that the sidewalk conditions were less than favourable for walking enjoyment. Then when I turned around, I saw someone fall on an icy patch on their way to catch the bus. This is when I decided to get some salt and lay it around the exact bus stop at which this person fell.

Hopefully this reduced the amount of dangerous tumbles at this high traffic area, or at least preventing rips in a pair of jeans or two.

Week Forty Two: Giving Directions to a Stranger.

This week’s gesture is small and common, but a very helpful one. As I was rushing on my way to work one morning, a stranger stopped me on the street for directions. My bus was just about to arrive so I was debating on whether to stop or not in fear of being late for work. I figured, why not – this might help the person tremendously. So I did, and even assisted the person to her destination as it was on my way. Turns out I was able to help the person out and make it for my bus on time.

Sometimes helping someone out does not require the least bit of sacrifices.

Week Thirty Five: Leaving Change at a Pay Phone in a Bus Terminal.

Yesterday, as I was traveling back from Newmarket for the Labour Day long weekend, I noticed a couple of Bell pay phones in the Toronto Union Station Greyhound bus terminal. I figured it would be nice to leave some change behind - perhaps for someone who’s phone died and desperately needed to call a loved one to come pick them up, or for an international traveler who did not have the change in the right currency in order to call a friend?

Who knows who actually used it. All I hope is for that one phone call to have helped someone out in some way.

Week Twenty: Leaving Bus Tickets at the Bus Station.

This week, after dashing to the bus stop in fear of missing my bus, I found myself ticketless in front of the driver. Thankfully, I had change on me so I was able to hop on without a problem. Then I wondered, how many times a day does this happen to people at this particular bus stop?

The next day, I decided to leave some bus tickets behind at the stop in hope of relieving stress from one person who couldn’t originally get from point A to B successfully.
