Hymn for my soul album, 'Just pass it on'.

&ab_channel=RobO%27Connell

I found a couple of ID cards on a seat in public transport.
Rather than give it to the driver, as they would just be put into lost and found, I made an effort to track down the owner.
Easy enough, employer's details on one of the cards.
Rang the business, sure enough, owner of the cards worked there.
Mailed the cards with a little note including my email address asking for acknowledgement of receipt to the business address.

Yep, she got the cards back. Happy as anything.

I spent the rest of that week polishing my halo.

There are good people out there. I like to think I'm one of them.
