I used to bedelighted whenever I found a great spot, but now I imagine that someone else might need or appreciate it more. It's a small thing, but I like to think i

I am always so grateful for the great spots I am able to find especially when I have young children and prams and I've never thought about the kindness in this, that perhaps someone left it for me. What a beautiful thing to do. This has changed my outlook completely and I'll never look at an available prime parking spot the same again! Thank you.
