We're on the road again. First completing our cleanup from this week's camping trip, then packing and pulling out again. When we spend the day in the car, it's tough to do a personal, good deed of any sort. Sure, I let the truckers in, try to behave in traffic.
Fortunately we don't spend our entire day in our vehicle when we travel. Our lunch stop provided an opportunity to lend a hand. While in the restroom, I spotted an abandoned cane.
The project:
Returning a cane to its owner.
Time:
2 minutes.
Why bother?
While the cane's user was able to walk away from it, surely she had a reason for carrying it. And these things don't come cheap for folks on fixed incomes.
Worth it?
The owner of the cane was fairly easy to spot as she hobbled away from the restroom. When I hand it to her, she was surprised she'd left it behind, and very grateful for having it back in her hand. She said she carried it for security.

I walked with a cane for years and years. You dont always need it when you go out, but if something comes up or you get more tired than you are used to, you cant always go home and get it. You need it with you for those times that you dont anticipate.
