Santa Niel

19 12 2018

This is inspired by Nathaniel.

He told us ‘I bought some cakes…’ to begin with, he didn’t really have extra cash. He and his wife always ordered one dish at the restaurant to be shared. They are expecting. Twins! And Nat is the sole bread winner of this young family.

But he always has just enough to bless others.

‘… and I saw 2 ladies walking along the street. I stopped my car and beckoned them. And I just gave them the cake much to their pleasant surprise.’

Sometimes he would be given lunch packs when he attended functions. He would take if the organizers had extra packs. Then he would be on the lookout for gardeners or building cleaners and gave the lunch packs to them.

‘These people often go unnoticed. So low… and unseen and unappreciated.

These are the people I will offer food to. And most of the time, they really needed and appreciated what we often took for granted.’

Nathaniel isn’t rich. He doesn’t have a lot. But he showed me that a person doesnt really need to have a lot of money to impact another person’s life. Rich or poor, one can still be generous and brighten other people’s day.

He said ‘If I have the time and means, I will be Santa Claus again this week.’

I told him ‘Santa Claus was actually Saint Nicholas. You are Saint Nathaniel.’

I got to know a guy in Jan 2018.

After a few cuppa coffee and books swapping, I think we both realized that our values are rather different. So, we maintained as casual friends that even rarely  keep in contact.

Today he had the courtesy to text me.

Simple conversations initially. Then

“oh btw… I met a girl 3 months ago.”

 

Oh my. Kinda thoughtful of him to let me know? I guess that in a way, kinda render me putus cinta? LOL.Coz he is now off the shelf, right. Not that I intended to buy.

How does one putus cinta twice in a week?

I’m still on the shelf. Getting old and dusty, discolored and unattractive. Even the price tag is fading away. What a loveless 2018 😉
