A while back my wife was at a local park with the kids. Something happened and one of our kids skinned their knee. She was in need of a band-aid. She did not have a band-aid. :(
There was an older man at the park that day. Seeing my wife in need, he walked over to her and with a band-aid in hand. He said, "I am a a grandfather and have many grandchildren. I always keep a couple band-aids in my wallet just in case."
She told me this story and I thought to myself, "Wow! What a great piece of practical wisdom." So from that day forward I started putting a couple band-aids in my handy dandy David Allen note taker wallet.
Thank you Mr. Wise Old Man where ever you are. You've set a great example for me and have helped many others with your wisdom and kindness.
Are you band-aid ready?

:) good idea!
That's too funny to see that photo and read that!
2 summers ago my wife had a blister or something like that; she needed a band aid and yes.. we didn't have one. Since then I carry 2 in my notetaker wallet -- have used it once.
Besides the usual helpful stuff in there (soc. sec. card, medical insurance card. etc) I also always carry a $20 and a $5 in it. Attitude money, as someone once put it :)
Ruud,
Thank you for the comment. I love the idea about the "attitude" $.
It is good to know there are a couple of us carrying band-aids just in case.
Happy holidays,
Mike
I keep a small pouch with a first-aid kit in each car, for similar reasons.
Amber,
Thanks for your note. I've run across several people now that do the same thing. Spread the spirit!
FYI... I took a look at your blog. I wish you success with your workout program. I like your approach.
