It was amazing because she was struggling to walk and especially to bend down. She was using a walking cane so she had to balance the walking cane against the bin then lean on the side of the bin to help her to bend down and pick the rubbish up. The whole process took her ages but she still stopped to do it. It was incredible to watch and made me resolve to be more careful about picking up the trash when i see it lying on the ground. Your story has just reminded me of that.

I dedicate this post to my high school teacher mrs. Sadlow, who taught more than civic, she taught us how to fill out our tax forms, and how to read the new york times stock exchange. She gave us skills that are still part of my life today. To visionaries, who show instead of telling, i say cheers, job well done.

Will try to follow this myself.
