The Kindness of an Uber Alternative

"Happiness exists on earth, and it is won through prudent exercise of reason, knowledge of the harmony of the universe, and constant practice of generosity."
~ José Martí

On a recent Saturday evening, I met a group of friends at a restaurant to celebrate a birthday.  My husband was going to pick me up at the end of the meal, but when everyone was ready to go, he was still at a distance from the restaurant.  I told him to worry that I would call Uber.  But friends of mine, a married couple, told me that they would take me home – even though it was half an hour out of the way and it was already late.  I enjoyed visiting with them on the ride to my house and greatly appreciated their generosity.
