Yesterday, I was expecting a nice sunny day so I didn't bother to bring my umbrella. To my surprise, as I was walking somewhere along Ortigas, large drops of rain suddenly begun to pour. During that time, I wished I had an umbrella. There was nowhere to run for cover. It's amazing how small things can mean a lot. In a normal dry sunny day, I couldn't care less whether I had an umbrella. When it suddenly poured, I was praying and wishing for one in dire need.
I was intending to use a flyer to cover my head when a stranger (I'm not sure if I heard it right but it sounded like Ms. Arianne) called me from behind and offered to share an umbrella. If you think about it is a simple deed and even FREE. Yet, it made a BIG difference. It kept me and my important belongings dry. It kept me from being ill.
Honestly, if I did not encounter that situation, I never would have thought about how significant lending an umbrella on a rainy day is. I'm glad I experienced this, it made me realize that I should be more thoughtful about my surroundings like those who lend an umbrella on a rainy day. How about you? Have you lent an umbrella yet?
