paypal Incidents and Moral decisions, the right choice!

So around 3:15 p.m. on Saturday, March 8, 2020, I received an email from service@paypal.com saying I had gotten $250.00 from a Jeremy Fontenot. I found that strange considering I don't know any Jeremy Fontenot's and when I looked at details the email was addressed to jamiecormier@gmail.com, not my Jamie.cormier@gmail.com so why did it go to my Gmail? Even stranger, the person wrote "for tickets" in the details for the transaction. What tickets? I wasn't selling any tickets or anything. I was faced with a moral decision to make.."Do I keep the money even though I know it wasn't intended for me even though I could use it?" or "Do I do the right thing, email the person, tell them the mixup and send the money back?" I did what I would want someone to do if it was me, I emailed them and then returned the money to them, even though I really (really, really) wanted to keep it. I did, however, get something out of it; not monetary, but something much better- Pride in myself, and I got a compliment from the individual in an email, "Thank you so much. I appreciate your kind heart in this situation. It could've gone in a negative direction, but because of you, it was very nice. This gives me one more example to tell how there are great people in this world. I hope you have a fantastic day and blessings your way. By the way, I told my cousin that since yall emails are so close, I advised him to change it up a little so this confusion doesn't happen again. Y'all already have the same name! LOL." and I emailed back, telling him "LOL, the only difference is I am female. I've been scammed out of money before, so I get it and I'm disabled so I guess I have a lot of empathy I guess, I don't know. Anyway thanks for the compliments. Would I like $250, sure who wouldn't? But Keeping it wouldn't be right. Anyway, God bless and If you would like to know more about my life and story, I have 2 blog pages and a youtube channel," and gave him the links to them. He emailed back saying " I will look at your youtube and read about your story." So I possibly got a new online follower out of it :)

Superbowl 2023: So tired of Hypocrisy!

  Food for thought: Let me start this post by saying this: I did not watch the superbowl nor did I watch the halftime performance. I did how...
