I'm proud of myself for this kindness I did last night.I did it_41_and did the right thing.However,I was unwilling to_42_,because by sharing I am also sharing the_43_and more self-centered side of myself.
It was last night and_44_my shift at work.It was late and I wanted to go straight home.On my way out of the door_45_a fellow staff member and colleague.She doesn't have a_46_and usually either catches a taxi home or_47_ for an hour waiting for_48_staff member and friend of hers to finish.
In the past I've_49_to drive her home as she_50_on my side of town.But last night I really did not want to,I wanted to_51_straight home,alone.And I did not have to make "small talk" etc.
So I tried to_52_her,walking past her,head down,and stealing out to the_53_without her seeing me and_54_ without offering her a lift.
Yet,something in myself was stopping me.Something in myself made me_55_her and put myself in her shoes. She had young_56_for whom she wanted to go home and,she could go home right now_57_I took her,not an hour later when the other staff member and friend of hers who was taking her.So I offered.She_58_.And of course,she was extremely_59_.
Well I learned a great_60_last night in not being so self-centered and selfish!
