A Small Gesture Brings Sunshine to a Rainy Day


--by AURELIA, posted Oct 29, 2009

The weather was especially brutal yesterday.  I was out shopping for a few things.  As I exited the store, I saw these two ladies sitting on a bench with a few items, waiting for the bus or taxi.   As I approached them I smiled.  They smiled back and we briefly discussed the particularly unpleasant weather.

I asked, "Do you have far to go?"  They said,  "We're ok, we can wait for the bus." I responded, "I really don't mind getting you home"  They thankfully accepted my offer and away we went.  They lived only a few blocks away from the shopping plaza.

I was glad to be of help on such a miserable day.  It brought a little sunshine into my very rainy day to be able to help them out.
