In April I wrote a brief rant on a Sunday morning.
Well, here's the opposite.
I was greeted with my normal smile and hello by the juice guy that supplies me with my apple-pomegranate juice.
I was leaving Trader Joe's. I was using both arms to carry my paper grocery bag (that is, I wasn't just holding onto the bag's handles, but was carrying it by supporting the bottom of the bag). I was worried that the handles might not hold as it was a bit heavy. A woman called out to me as I was leaving the store. I wasn't sure what she said so I looked back into the store, "I didn't hear what you said." She replied, "Your bag is tilted. Something might fall out." An act of concern.
I was walking down a street, both arms still carrying the grocery bag (yes, I appreciated the woman's concern, but I was concerned about the handles holding up). A guy entered an apartment complex and was holding the door open . . . for me. Now I don't live in the apartment complex so I just waved him off. (He probably assumed I lived in the apartment complex as it is the only residential complex in that block and actually for a couple blocks more.) Yes, maybe what he did broke the rules of the complex, but it was an act of kindness.
