Reaffirmation of Humanity

I'm always looking for that thing to make me believe that all is not lost in the world; something to make me want to bring life into this world... these confirmations come in the smallest of deeds - a young man giving up his seat on the Metro to an elderly woman; a driver yielding so that I can merge on I-66 and today, someone find my debit card, calling the 800 number on the back to block it and then bringing it to the Fairfax County Police Department.

Every liquid asset I have in this world (checking and savings account) were linked to that card, not to mention I get paid once a month and pay day was three days ago!

As I frantically called Bank of America, I imagined someone on a shopping spree, or even worse, filling up their gas tank with my hard earned pennies and began to cry. Once the Bank of America Associate came on the phone, and after several long pauses informed me that my card had been found, blocked and turned into the police, I found myself crying again.

It's really not so bad, eh?
