Ever find yourself in a situation

[AUFred]

Ever find yourself in a situation where you feel led to do something not because you were asked but felt it the right thing to do?

I have a friend I have known for about 3 or 4 years. We went to dinner a couple of weeks ago and he shared a few things with me. He told me how much he likes to fish, bass fishing in particular. A couple of years ago he went through a rather nasty divorce and while they were seperated she sold or gave away all his fishing equipment. He is in construction like I am and times have not been good for him or me for several years. He has not been able to afford to replace his equipment. I thought long and hard about what he said and decided I had some nice rods & reels I have not used lately simply because I had upgraded with later technology. Nothing wrong with them but for me they were simply collecting dust. I gave him two of my outfits last night. He was surprised and it made me feel good to help out a friend.

Yeah I try to do things like that when I can, better that he be putting them to use than them collecting dust in your garage :nod:

Good on u Fred. Yeah I would do more if I could sneak things away from my hoarding husband....sigh. I'm a thrower awayer and he's a hoarder, why do opposites attract? LOL

I found a pond where I can take my buddy fishing. We are going Saturday morning. I hope we catch several bass.

Good for you Fred. I have not been in any situations where I could help like you did.

A persons character is determined by what he / she does when someone isn't looking. That's my motto and I try to stick to it wherever possible and what you did fits the bill to a tee. Fred you are a good man.
