My good deed for karma

So yesterday I was going to SuperStore to meet Patricia and pick up some groceries.I had just left work and she was bringing Peyton from the house.

I quickly found a parking spot where I usually park and hopped out to look around for her. I was hoping she was going to be parked near me, but I couldn't see her. So I grabbed my phone and started to dial. That's when I noticed a black spot on the ground. I reached over to pick it up and found that it was a woman's wallet. So I quickly checked the name (And of course to see if there was any cash, not sure why, but I think that's natural instinct since mine never has any)

So I finished calling Patricia and went over to meet her with the stroller. We went inside and I went to customer service to see if Megan was still in the store.

Just after calling her name, she came running down back saying "Is that my wallet?!?!". She was extremely greatful. Seeing someone get that happy makes it worth being honest and turning the wallet over. Plus I'm not the dishonest type anyway. I could have kept the wallet and racked up some credit cards, maybe sold the id, medicare, etc.

We continued on with our shopping and I felt good about myself. After we were done getting groceries, I come out to the car to find the attached photo. That made my day. It's nice to see she even took the time to write me an extra note to say thank you. It's not much, but makes you feel good about being an honest soul.
