I did a good deed today which has left me feeling great 😀

 

I go into coin dips on Tik Tok and Facebook, which can give you a chance at winning a high value coins for a small amount of money to purchase a number.

 

One of the users on Tik Tok did a coin dip and the money raised was being donated to the RSL in his state. I won the full Wiggles Coin set in a folder and also a set of Commonwealth Games coins in a folder. When I opened my package, there was something that I was not expecting. It was a flower made out of wood, with a 2022 $2 Honey Bee coin in the centre of the flower. I commented on how beautiful the flower was, while he was live, and he decided to send it too me.

He actually made it himself. Receiving that gift made my week, and I couldn't stop smiling. I couldn't wrap my head around, that a person whom I didn't know that well, has sent me something out of the kindness of his heart. Every time I look at it, I am amazed at his skill to make it, and it brings back that nice feeling I got upon receiving it.

 

Last week I was given a bonus number in a dip for supporting one of the causes on Facebook, and my number came up. I won a Canadian Coin and Medallion Set that came with a D-Day historical CD included. I am not interested in collecting war coins, or coins from other countries (unless they are stunning, LOL). So I didn't really want the set. I knew the person that gave me the flower, did collect war coins, so I offered it to him today to see if he was interested. He was and wanted to purchase the coin from me, but I said that I wanted to give it to him, as a thank you for the beautiful flower and how happy it made me feel, at a time when I really didn't have much to feel happy about.

 

He too has gone through some bad times, but he still donates his time to help out the RSL where he can. In my book, he is the type of person, who deserves to be made to feel special.

 

He has accepted my gift to him, and now it is him that is feeling great. I am so happy that I could make him feel exactly how I felt upon receiving his gift.

This was his gift.
