A Random Act of Kindness...sort of..

Just a short entry here, to share something that happened to me today that really warmed my heart, in a way.

This morning, our Deputy Director called me and asked me if I want to go to KL to be part of the Audit Report Translation Committee (ARTC).  Since 2011, I have been given the responsibility to head our State Audit Translation Committee.  I do not do that alone, I have a team of dedicated and knowledgeable colleagues to help me out.  The ARTC consists of members from 3 NAD offices, HQ, Sarawak and Sabah.  They are calling for a representative from Sabah and our Deputy had me in mind.  

It should be a good thing, you know, to be entrusted with such responsibility, but I suddenly have a 'lack of confidence' issue.  Besides, I have my daughter in mind.  If possible, I don't want to be away often.  After a brief discussion with our Deputy, I suggested a friend's name, one of our very own committee member, to go there instead of me.  Our Deputy agreed, adding she would suggest my friend's name if I am okay with it.  

I guess the arrangement was very much welcomed because soon after the friend called and thanked me...I mean...really thanked me, I could hear it in her voice.  That would give her a chance to go back to her hometown, 'all expenses paid'.  A small deed done today, and I felt really good.
 
If everyone does small, seemed insignificant deed to other, wouldn't world be a whole lot better for everyone else?

God bless everyone around me.
