Today, I was sitting on a bench in the blazing hot sun watching my kids on an amusement park ride. The bench was full with only a small corner in the shade.
Everyone got up and moved on so I was lucky enough to be the next resident of the shady vacant real estate on the corner. As I sat down I looked over and saw an older lady probably in her 80's siting at the other end of the bench in the scorching heat.
I leaned over and offered her my seat in the cool of the shade. She gratefully accepted and we switched places. Its a small act of kindness but a highlight of my day. I am grateful.
